Spicy Monkey Ball aka the most important sushi creation ever

Sushi is one of the greatest inventions on earth. Bite size randomness is what makes both the internet and sushi so amazing.

So I was headed out to WLR, regretfully, for sushi with Shewolf, not regretfully. It was a hot as hell Friday night. We went to Papa Sushi which is nestled in a standard generic non romantic shopping center. We had been there last summer for food so this was our annual visit.

We remembered the sushi tasting outstanding. We ordered too much food last time and the same thing happened this time. I'd tell you about all the rolls we ordered and how it took 40 minutes for Clank to get a martini, but then I'd be bitching.

Something refuckingmarkable did happen. I experienced the best jalapeno experience in some time. What happens when  East meets West? SPICY MONKEY BALL! Yes. Japs stuffed with spicy tuna fried and topped with Sriracha. I am not kidding. It was unreal. I am ordering two for myself next time and funneling sake. That's legit.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

Mixed Grill at Brave New is just what you need

As we approach Independence Day you've got to be thinking how to maximize your effectiveness, aka be American as fuck. You probably remember growing up with Dad manning the grill and then passing out in the hammock from Bud Heavy.

You see where I'm going? Im talking about the grill. So what makes an American grill? Yes, dogs and burgs, but there's more.

As an American, you love killing shit and eating it. You love patios. You love flags, red bull, jalapenos, and bikinis. But most of all you like eating.

Feast your eyes on this platter of goodness. It's the Mixed Grill from Brave New. It features a mixed game sausage, pork tenderloin, beef medallions, and a stuffed quail. It's beautiful and rocks your senses. You want to be American? You want this. Sit on the patio. Drink something strong. Thank me later.

The Disappearing Heirloom Burger

West Little Rock, aka my least favorite part of town, is home to an Apple Store and a BAMF IMAX theatre. That's the only two reasons you should go out West,  besides this remarkable burger I'm about to tell you about.

I've told you about the most pretentious burger joint in town before, well this burger is from that joint. Big Orange is nestled in Promenade and is fucking clean. As you enter you're greeted by a brunette high schooler playing hostess. There was around 5 of these young ladies running shop and they all looked alike, perhaps clones. Take it in. Only rich white folks. That's remarkable and expected. The decor is minimal and warm. Orange and white color scheme throughout and the back wall covered in rustic reclaimed wood. One of my favorite things is the menu. White space is used so well and looks like someone aced graphic design.

Now let's get to the burger. Specials are written on a chalkboard up front. I was in view of the bar and got to watch the barkeep crank out a dozen Bloody Marys. Its a special on Sunday. The other special was the Heirloom Burger. A beef burger topped with a massive Heirloom tomato, balsamic glaze, weird cheese, and the regular fixins. Shewolf scarfed the burger down in a couple minutes. I had to stop her and request a bite. She snarled and slowly slid the burger my way. A rush of flavor trickled across my tongue. This burger. THIS BURGER.

We also had a never ending bucket of chips. These are accompanied by "special sauce" aka ketchup mayo and pepper. Good enough but I'll go with Town Chips all day.

It took 50 minutes to get our food and that just sucks. The food was on point but 50 minutes sucks.

Put Some Grease in Your Mouth and Tell That Hangover to Eff Off

Nothing, and I mean nothing cures a hangover like grease. I'm not talking Travolta style, you know what I mean, Paula Deen Butter Czar type shiz.

Here's the good news… This post will guide you to hangover mastery skill level.

When you wake up Saturday morning covered in Taco Bell wrappers and used condoms, you're gonna need a redemption song. Fire your Nissan Cube up and head to Buffalo Grill. Its down in Riverdale next to Maddie's and Pizza Cafe, Bing map it smart guy. Snap your fingers and tell your waiter you need a Ham and Cheese Sandwich, Nachos, and Cheese Fries. You'll get copious amounts of greasiness and kiss your hangover goodbye.

Real Talk: the plates were glorious. Was it good? Eff you I wouldn't have crafted this if it wasn't.

Boulevard’s Badass Breakfast Sandwich

Team, picture this… You've decided to rage at Midtown. The next thing you know the sun is coming up and the ugly lights come on. As you stumble to your car the last thing on your kind is what you're gonna eat when you wake up.

(Fast forward 4 hours.)

You wake up in your car… still parked on Main Street, now you're hungry. What's the closest grub? Boulevard Bread!

Walk your happy ass in there, order the breakfast sandwich, and then you'll nut your pants.

Fresh fruit and a perfect breakfast sandwich WILL hit the spot. Look out for Monsters too.

And quit staying at Midtown so late ;)

Midday Memphis Pub Crawl

Wolves, I had the distinct pleasure of administering a Midday Memphis Pub Crawl last weekend. My partner was Mike D, a fucking jack leg Yankee. His first experience in M Town, and it was epic enough. I probably crushed 20 VnT's.

Brookhaven – forgot pic FML
Central BBQ – tamales and BBQ
Celtic Crossing – VnT
Blue Monkey – bar pic
Zinnie's – Southern Pecan
Bucaneer – bike pic
Bar Dog – meat ball, seared tuna

Memphis, I miss you.

Am I a genius? Yes.
Am I for hire? Yes.

Toad Suck Bucks – Conway

Okay, I've got one and only one reason you'd drive west from Conway like 20 miles.

It's a prefab metal building and it's… Fab.

I know you like 32oz. Steaks and I know you dig crunk burgers. This place is in the woods, they serve booze, have every flavored vodka ever, wild  dogs outside, Grandmas playing guitar, and friendly country ass staff.

If you live in LR don't waste your time. Just saying.
