Excellent BBQ!

Huge pork ribs that were fall off the bone tender, half a chicken and the only place in town that serves mutton! Potato salad was excellent (sometimes it is made with too much mayo or mustard) as were the baked beans. Seasoned very well with some bacon and bbq sauce (?). The coleslaw was made with vinegar instead of mayo (my preference) and some celery seeds added the perfect flavor punch - earthy and grassy with a slight bitter edge.

Don’t forget about this great local restaurant with World Championship winning BBQ!

They were an Evansville Restaurant Week participating restaurant in 2016 and have burgoo available this time of year.

Don’t miss out on this great local restaurant with World Championship winning BBQ!

6 Christmas Carols with Foods You’ve Never Actually Eaten ...

You sing about wanting someone to bring you some figgy pudding every holiday season, but have you ever stopped to ask what in the heck figgy pudding actually is?

Today we are at the Eve of Christmas. This time of year, especially, is the time that everyone reflects on the past year, on the present and on their goals and hopes for the future. It is a time where we give thanks and appreciation for our many blessings, and a time to enjoy the company of our family and friends.

Times are very different today from when I was younger, and it seems that fewer and fewer people are cooking or enjoying meals at home. On several pages online there have been numerous posts asking what restaurants are open Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Should you choose to enjoy a meal out, *Please* remember that your restaurant owners / managers, kitchen staff, servers, bussers, hosts and dishwashers are sacrificing their time with family in order to provide you a convenient and enjoyable dining experience - on a day they arguably should be closed. They are sacrificing time that they won't ever get back in order to earn money for bills, presents, or maybe even basic necessities. Yes it's their job, but saying that isn't an excuse for generosity and appreciation. In our culture it is extremely common to reward businesses or employees for quality service and dedication to their job - from the mail carrier to hair stylists and your masseuse to UPS drivers, car wash staff and even grocery store baggers.

Throughout the year, but at Christmas especially, remember this and make sure to be especially pleasant, friendly, understanding, and most of all - generous. If you think of it, do something special for the staff - a card or small gift, a sincere "thank you" and "Merry Christmas," - to show you are appreciative of their time and efforts. Most of all, tip them well. Their job is to make your experience the best it can be. Reward them for this and for the time and experiences they are giving up.

Thank You and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Happy Repeal Day!!!

In February 1933, Congress adopted a resolution proposing the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, which repealed both the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. The resolution required state conventions, rather than the state legislatures, to approve the amendment, effectively reducing the process to a one-state, one-vote referendum rather than a popular vote contest. On December 5th, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, achieving the necessary majority for repeal and bringing an end to the era of national prohibition of alcohol in America. Interesting Fact: Indiana was the seventh state to sign to ratify the amendment, on June 26th 1933.

Conveniently located halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas, at a time when most Americans are probably not spending time with family, repeal day presents a wonderful occasion to get together with friends and pay tribute to our constitutional rights.Stop by and pick up your favorite 6 pack to celebrate.

Wishing you a day filled with family, friends, love and gratitude.

“Thank you” to all who wear a uniform and are giving up a Thanksgiving at home with their families to serve and protect our country and its citizens.

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given.
