Their new menu is officially out today.  Some of the new items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brat Con Queso &#8211; beer brat broiled with four white cheeses, served with pico de gallo and tortillas<\/li>\n<li>Rocket Tots &#8211; cheese &amp; pepper tots with Habanero sour cream dip<\/li>\n<li>Chicago Brat &#8211; basically a bratwurst dressed up like a Chicago-style hot dog.<\/li>\n<li>Chicken Philly &#8211; I&#8217;m assuming this needs no explanation.<\/li>\n<li>Smoked Salmon Wrap &#8211; with goat cheese, cucumber, capers, onion, lettuce, tomato.<\/li>\n<li>And, of course, the Young&#8217;s Double Chocolate ice cream float I mentioned in the previous post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They also have a daily &#8220;Brewmaster&#8217;s Board&#8221; pairing food with beer.  Pretty cool.  I like the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>My waitress (who, by the way, is from Romania) just brought the Rocket Tots out.  They&#8217;re dressed up real pretty in a Chimay glass.  Best presentation of tater tots I&#8217;ve ever seen, but then again I haven&#8217;t been to Sonic in a while, they may be doing something even fancier there.<\/p>\n<p>The Steve Cohen fundraiser Sunday night at Pembroke Square was a blast.  Steve spoke for about 15 minutes and really sounded like a statesman.  He&#8217;s gonna be something rarely seen in Congress: A man of integrity.  I bet the special interests are going to HATE it if he gets elected.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I was doing my usual Sunday drinking thing, and about 6:30 I realized it was almost time to go to the fundraiser.  I had on a black shirt with a collar, and shorts.  I really didn&#8217;t feel like going home to change.  So I called the organizer of the event (who, by the way, is a great kisser).  I told her what I had on, and asked if I needed to put on something dressier.  &#8220;Of course not!&#8221; she said.  &#8220;You&#8217;re fine.  Come on over, dressed as you are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t help but think, if I had been going to a fundraiser for a Republican, I would have been expected to go change into a button-down shirt and khakis, at a minimum.  This is another reason why I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not a Republican.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenandrobyn.com\/\">Ken &amp; Robyn<\/a> will be performing Saturday night, September 30 at Sleep Out Louie&#8217;s, and they will also be recording their show (audio) for an upcoming CD release.  You&#8217;ve GOT to go see them if you haven&#8217;t already.  Incredible vocals.  Incredible violin.  Incredible repertoire of songs.  GO.  Go go go.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check back tomorrow for a BIG announcement about this blog.  I&#8217;ve already told some of you, but tomorrow I&#8217;ll be able to go public with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s lunchtime post is being brought to you by the free Wi-Fi at the Flying Saucer.
