I received a text a little while ago that the my favorite beer at the Saucer, Dos Equis Special Lager, is today’s $2.75 Fire Sale.\u00a0 That means I’ll have an especially extended stay today at the Saucer, rather than waiting to show up at 9:30 to catch the Dempseys.\u00a0 My favorite band and my favorite beer… life is good.<\/p>\n
Got a haircut at a new place at lunch… the creator of the Memphis Limelight<\/a> blog referred me to Beckii<\/strong> at Rachel’s Salon<\/strong> in the 10 N. Main building.\u00a0 She did a really good job, took a lot of the bulk out… but it’s still long compared to regular guys’ hair, which is what I wanted.\u00a0 I’d highly recommend her if you’re looking for a new stylist.\u00a0 Plus the location can’t be beat… I live at 10 S. Main, get my hair cut at 10 N. Main, and work at 22 N. Front.<\/p>\n While cutting my hair, Beckii recommended The Hot Dog Factory for lunch.\u00a0 That’s the little hot dog cart in Court Square with the Heinz umbrella.\u00a0 So I gave them a try.\u00a0 I don’t expect much from a hot dog but they far exceeded expectations.\u00a0 They grilled the dogs on a little mini-grill, complete with bun warmer, and they wrapped the kraut in foil and put it on the grill too.\u00a0 Then they added onions, relish, and mustard (they have ketchup but I told them to hold the ketchup.\u00a0 Ketchup on hot dogs = gross).\u00a0 Got some gourmet chips too (Cape Cod jalapeno and aged cheddar).\u00a0 Their menu says they also have Polish sausage, a Memphis dog with BBQ sauce, a Chicago style dog, and a burger.\u00a0 They also have combos with chips\/BBQ beans and drink.\u00a0 Check it out if you pass by Court Square at lunchtime.\u00a0 Now that the Downtown safety patrol is in place, you won’t even have to be worried about bums harassing you while your dogs cook.<\/p>\n Got an e-mail that I forgot an item on the Thursday night “what’s going on” post:\u00a0 The Orpheum is showing Breakfast at Tiffany’s at 7:00.\u00a0 “We’re doing that for Girls’ Night,” my reader wrote, “and we’ll have tube top dresses on.\u00a0 I’m trying to get them to come to the Saucer for the Dempseys afterward.”\u00a0 Yay for tube dresses!\u00a0 Yes, come to the Saucer!\u00a0 Don’t go to Atlas!<\/p>\n All right, time to get back to work.\u00a0 Four hours and change to go until it’s Dos Equis Lager time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received a text a little while ago that the my favorite beer at the Saucer, Dos Equis Special Lager, is today’s $2.75 Fire Sale.\u00a0 That means I’ll have an especially extended stay today at the Saucer, rather than waiting to show up at 9:30 to catch the Dempseys.\u00a0 My favorite band and my favorite … Continue reading “DOS EQUIS SPECIAL LAGER is the Fire Sale!!!”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
