<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis is the Three Little Pigs omelette from Automatic Slim’s: Smoked sausage, bacon, and ham wrapped in an omelette with a side of potato hash. It was really yummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slim’s is unique in that it opens at 9 AM for Sunday brunch, whereas most of the other restaurants and bars that do brunch in the Downtown core don’t open until 11 or later. It’s definitely not a secret: By 9:45 the place was practically full. Perhaps it’s because of the drink specials – $3.00 Bloodys and mimosas during brunch hours. We sat at the bar and bartender Emma took great care of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 11 we walked over to the Blind Bear. After a couple of hours catching up with the Sunday crew, I ordered lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n

It normally comes with sides of mashed potatoes and okra, but they told me they were out of mashed potatoes. No problem, I was happy to substitute a side of the Bear’s delicious mac & cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We closed out the day in the basement of Winfield’s clothing store at Madison and Main for a birthday party. Awesome guest list, fantastic food, and superior sips. What a great way to wrap up the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Years ago, I was watching a poker training video by one of my favorite players, Daniel Negreanu, and he was playing one of my favorite starting hands, 8-7 suited. “All kinds of good things can develop,” commented Daniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find that’s a great philosophy by which to live life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All kinds of good things can develop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They certainly did yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
One of my dearest friends came to town this weekend and we had breakfast and lunch together. I got to try a couple of Downtown dishes I had not had before, and I thought I’d share some photos.
