I decided to order it mid-afternoon yesterday. I wasn&#8217;t hungry, but I knew I needed to eat. This was yummy and it didn&#8217;t make me feel full.<\/p>\n<p>I have a feeling there may have been people, ladies in particular, who have thought in the past, &#8220;I like the Blind Bear but there&#8217;s nothing on the menu I can eat there.&#8221; Come check out the Caprese Salad. A menu option that will get more women in the place &#8211; I am all in favor of that!<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year to all my readers! I will be on the way to the Blind Bear here in a couple of hours, for Sunday Hung Over Like a Bear Brunch, also known as D-RANKS with B-RAD. It&#8217;s bonus day &#8211; a Sunday without a Monday behind it &#8211; so who knows what kind of mischief there is to get into? The amateurs have consumed their $18 martinis and gone &#8220;woooooooo&#8221; and now they&#8217;re back in Collierville where they belong.
