Sitting at Bardog typing this. The Captain just played Willie Nelson’s “City of New Orleans” on the jukebox. The Captain has better taste in county music than many Downtown bartenders. We need more classic country and less boot-scootin’, shit-kickin’ music. The 1980s were the decade when it all went down the drain. At the beginning of the ’80s, Willie, Dolly, and Kenny were the biggest stars. By the end, you had Garth Brooks.
Bardog specials today:
- Hamburger steak with mushroom, onion, brown gravy, mashed potatoes, asparagus – 19
- Shrimp pasta with bell peppers and mushrooms over spaghetti with garlic butter sauce – 19
- Soup: Crawfish bisque
