You know what I’m really impressed with at SOB?\u00a0 The sides.\u00a0 I loved the crispy Cajun potatoes that came with my SOB burger.\u00a0 I can’t decide if they qualify as fries – what’s the definition of “fries?”\u00a0 Do they have to be long and slender?\u00a0 If they do qualify, I’ll definitely vote for them for “Best Fries” in next year’s Memphis Flyer poll.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the Flyer poll… nice to see the winner of the 2008 Best Cougar Bar award standing outside his restaurant last night at Trolley Tour.<\/p>\n

Back to SOB’s sides… my friend Lauren let me try her Pink-Eyed Pea Ragout, and it was excellent.\u00a0 Definitely getting that next time I go in.\u00a0 Another excellent experience at SOB… great to have a new restaurant in that area with great service and reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

There will be a mayoral debate watch party at 6 tonight at SOB sponsored by MPACT Memphis, so if you’re looking for an excuse to go by and try their great food, now you’ve got one.<\/p>\n

Suggestion for iPhone users who sit at the Flying Saucer bar:\u00a0 Download the “Service Bell” app.\u00a0 It’s free in the App Store.\u00a0 You touch the screen and it goes ding-ding-ding like a bell.\u00a0 Brittney LOVES it when you use the Service Bell to let her know you want another beer.<\/p>\n

The Arkansas Razorbacks play #3 Alabama at 2:30 on CBS.\u00a0 Guess I’ll be heading up to the Saucer to watch it.\u00a0 The Hogs proved last week that they can hold their own against a Top 25 team.\u00a0 Will ‘Bama be the second Top 5 SEC team to go down in flames this weekend?\u00a0 Maybe not – the oddsmakers have the Crimson Tide as a 17.5-18 point favorite.\u00a0 An upset would be sweet though.<\/p>\n

Attn Facebook users:\u00a0 I’m getting a lot of friend requests from people I’ve never met and with whom I have no friends in common.\u00a0 Be very careful when you get requests like these – they may be spreading KoobFace or a similar virus\/trojan.\u00a0 This is a good way to mess up your computer and get Facebook blocked at work if you use it there… only add people you know.<\/p>\n

Good to see our friends Wayne and Judy back in town visiting for the weekend.\u00a0 A lot of people are very happy they’re here.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now… going to take some laundry out of the dryer, then head to the Saucer to watch the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
