Over the past couple of years, there have been three restaurants\/bars that I have rarely talked about on my blog, other than to make fun of them.\u00a0 These would be Mesquite Chop House, Spindini, and Primetime Sports Bar\/Club Chill.<\/p>\n
However, I’ve kept my eye on them, and recently all three places have made some personnel changes and got hold of some good people.\u00a0 Mesquite Chop House brought in Michael Patrick, one of my favorite chefs Downtown and a super nice guy.\u00a0 He knows how to cook a meal and he knows how to run a restaurant.\u00a0 It’s hard for me to be negative toward any restaurant where he’s in charge.<\/p>\n
Spindini overhauled its management, getting rid of the clowns who were running it before.\u00a0 I’ve seen Mac Edwards posting on Facebook recently about goings-on at Spindini.\u00a0 I don’t know Mac real well but I know of his reputation and respect him highly.\u00a0 If he’s associated with the place, it has to have improved.<\/p>\n
Also on Facebook, I’ve seen Christina who used to be at the Red Rooster posting about Primetime\/Club Chill.\u00a0 She’s a great person with a great mind for the bar business.\u00a0 If she’s associated with the bar\/club, I have to hold it in higher esteem than I did before.<\/p>\n
So, I’m going to give all three of these places a chance.\u00a0 I’ll mention their events on my blog from time to time, and I won’t be averse to going in and spending money at them.\u00a0 If I’m impressed with the places I’ll be honest and say so on the blog.\u00a0 Of course, if they suck I’ll say that just as quickly.\u00a0 We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n
Time to head to the Saucer for trivia.\u00a0 Hmmm 57 outside dropping into the 40s tonight… sounds like a perfect night for the PBR hoodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
