We got a winner!

Not only did Jenn e-mail me the winning answer to the trivia question first, she's also one of my favorite parts about going to the Copper Rocket Pub in Maitland where she bartends. Here's her answer:



"Odin's has two shirts.  One says "FUCK DOWNTOWN" and the other says "BEATS THE HELL OUT OF CHURCH (street)"



I was referring to the first as the answer but she rocks for knowing both and also adding that Odin's Den offers $2 Guinness on Tuesdays.



Jenn: I'll be swinging by the Rocket for a pint and to bring you your ticket, just e-mail me when you're working. And thanks to everyone else who tried at it.

Win a prize!!!

I'm no Curtis Earth, hell, I'm definitely no Mandaddy, but I'm in the giving mood with it being the holidays and all so I thought I would throw a trivia question out there to you guys. Whoever answers me first wins a movie ticket to Winter Park Regal. I don't even know if I'm allowed to do this but what the hell, I'm bored...



Okay, found a new bar the other night that I love, Odin's Den in Winter Park has a kick-ass selection on the jukebox, CHEAP DRINKS and a decent burger. I got a kick out of the staff's T-Shirts most of all, the slogan on the back reminded me of the slogan of another bar I once loved very much but is no longer open.



Now for the trivia, anyone (with the exception of Casey and Paul who were there with me, and John Graham) that can tell me that slogan and the symbol on the back of the staffs' shirts at Odin's Den will win the movie ticket. Ready.. Set... GO!!!

A couple of poppers and a few puffs = Perfection

Jalapeno You know what I love? Jalapeno poppers. The gooey cream cheese, the spicy pepper and fried-goodness of it all. If a sports bar offers poppers I'm there. Another prerequisite for a sports bar is an outdoor smoking section. My friends and I watch football every Sunday, and if you offer us a smoking section we'll plant our asses down at your establishment for a few hours, eating your food and drinking your beer while you take our money.



That's why I'm boggled at the business model of Buffalo Wild Wings that offers neither. Now this isn't a blog purely on Buffalo Wild Wings, our faithful (and inebriated) "Go Inside" writer Paul Hiebing filled you in on the restaurant quite well this week. This is purely a rant because I'm hungry (it's lunchtime) and I was pissed last Sunday when my popper, smokin'-lovin' self went to the Oviedo location where there was a table for the help to smoke (on the side of the building) and nothing for the customers. That's fine they don't want us, I don't want them. And, as you probably guessed they had no poppers so we left before we even took a seat.



Where did we go you're wondering? We drove over to Froggers on Alafaya Trail, that place knows how to treat ALL customers. Not only did they have jalapeno poppers but a big honkin' tent out in the front of the store, complete with a wide screen TV. Now you had to hit the TV every once in a while to get sound out of it, but they let us smoke while we hit it. Now that's service.



Okay, enough with this nonsense, I'm going to have lunch now.

Raise your glass to Ybor's

There are rumors that the original downtown Orlando martini bar, Ybor's, has closed. And it turns out those rumors are true. In fact, it closed almost three months ago. But no one really knew for sure because the construction of 55 West has deterred many from visiting the once popular martini bar. That's right, a high-rise killed a martini bar in this town. I love the irony considering it's those same condos and high-rises that have forced us to endure less-classy and thrown-together lounges and martini bars around this town. You guys are convinced that I don't like martini bars. But I do, when done right, and Ybor's did it right. It will be missed.
