A night to not remember

What happens after 19 vodka waters? Good effing question. I thought I still had it after a Midtown ragefest two weeks ago. Apparently I don’t.

 

Last Friday started harmlessly at Bear’s Den in Conway. If you’ve never been there you are missing a classic college dive equipped with billiards, a great patio, and the quintessential bar sport known as beer pong. The patio is adorned with a classic sign with rules to live by.

I finally made it back home and headed straight to sushi with Shewolf. You’ve already seen it so no picture needed.

 

What happened next can only be described as anarchy. More VnW. More more more. Liquid gluttony.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was then cast into a blur. How about a British Imperial Pint of RedBull? Sounds good and mission critical.

We finally tabbed out and stumbled to WT Bubbas. Along the way a tree was eyeballing us. It’s always a good time to hug a tree, especially on that is checking you out. I was prescribed water bottles only at Bubbas. Probably a good move.

The night wasn’t too late but certainly late enough. All in all, this was a night to not remember.

Here’s proof The Saucer has cocktails too

Wp_001900

The Saucer has the largest draft beer selection in Arkansas, hands down. I was told that once they went smoke free, their sales rocketed 20% YoY. As a dedicated drinker smoker, this both blew my mind and pissed me off.

As you probably know, my life as a nasty as fuck food blogger is effectively over. Not really over but I am god forsaken gluten free. This means I cannot enjoy the Saucer like the rest of you fools. You can blame gluten free beer for my lack of enjoyment. Have you tried it? It tastes like crap. I am not about to pound town cider either. I end up crushing vodka on the reg.

The Saucer ends up being a place of depression for me. Looking back at my all time dollars spent list, The Saucer is number two, right behind Midtown which we'll get to Midtown later.

I went to The Saucer last Thursday dragging my feet and ordered a standard VnT. Justin and Ronnie were behind the bar and did work. I am talking stout drinks like I'd pour them at home. Clank went to poundtown with Jack and Diet. We went down stairs to play pool and met a lunatic Irishman named Dali. Clank started in on fairies, leprechauns and trolls. He denied all the folklore except trolls. Trolls chapped his ass. He was demanding we dropped it. Weird.

Then we went to Midtown. We fucking raged til 4am. The walk home with Clank was unremarkable. Should've called a cab. Bottom line, I still got it.

Redbones Part 2

I know what you are thinking, you just posted about Redbones, get new content asshole. Duly noted.

Here's the thing, this place is fucking delicious. It's quintessential SoCajun, that's Soul Cajun, Delta meets bayou if you know what I mean. Can you picture it? I mean shit, I had jap andouille cheese dip last time.

As for this time, I branched out from a fish dish and ventured for the Cheeseburger Meatloaf. You like small portions and healthy food, leave this blog now. For your safety leave immediately, you might be able to unremeber this. The Cheeseburger Meatloaf was an all-American varsity letterman type dish. A whopping portion came out accompanied with a nice side of green beans. Sweetened with bacon, the beans were gone very quickly. I found myself winded, yet steadfast focused conquering the mound of meat before me. As you could imagine I did work.

My Aunt sat across from me and ordered a dish I was eyeballing, Shrimp and Grits. Does it get any more simple? I mean you sautee shrimp and cook grits. It sounds like a simple meal but is hard to find cooked to perfection. Generous amounts of Cajun shrimp topped grits that would make your Grandma proud. Serious this is serious.

Redbones – Rivermarket’s New Cajun Joint

As a hot sauce addict, I can't help but crave artful Cajun dishes. Those coon ass pricks have a way of throwing a bunch of stuff together and it blowing your mind/mouth.

I've only been to New Orleans and I only remember one trip. What I do remember was the filth, music, and food. Unreal. Living in LR is not exactly a Cajun food hot spot, but that's changing.

You remember Flying Burrito Downtown? Of course you do. It's Gone and has a new resident, Redbones. It has the same layout as FBurrito but the decor has had a Cajun face lift. If you're lucky enough to get a booth on the street, you might begin to feel like you're in the French Quarter.

Eyeballing the menu, you'll see classic Cajun dishes like jumbo and jambalaya. You'll also see some awesome soulfood inspired dishes like Black and Mac, blackened catfish over mac and cheese.

I went for the jugular and had to get an appetizer. Another classic jap dish, Andouille and Jalapeno Cheese Dip. My new favorite in town. Clank went with Jambalaya Pasta, gluten free btw. I went for the blackened Tilapia with shrimp etouffee over rice. Wolves, I can't stress this enough, Redbones is awesome. The door was on point and the portions were right.

I highly recommend this place. You can thank me later.

Crunkin Kosher Dogs

What are you supposed to do at a Jewish Food Festival?

You get nasty on effing Kosher Dogs. Crush latkes too.

Rivermarket is obviously a good host for events like this. In case you were wondering, I didn't get down on the gluten, Yankee Doodle Andy did work.

There’s a mafia cover-up Downtown and it’s right in front of your drunken nose

Wolves,
 

I’ve been getting an eerie feeling lately as I stumble through the rivermarket. It’s not the monsters or pan-handlers, it’s the most obvious things that give the biggest creeps.
 

Have you ever been downtown to The Saucer? We both know you have been there. Have you ever noticed the furniture store across the street? Of course you haven’t. Why haven’t you noticed it? Because no one is EVER in the store. Not employees, not customers, not no one.
 

So I was standing outside burning a Pfunk thinking about that store, La Harpe’s. I began wondering why the fuck a furniture store would want to be on the most dense binge drinking street in Little Rock. It doesn’t make sense.
 

A store whose windows prices are outrageous, were talking $3-400 for plastic school chairs. That’s one good way to keep customers out of a store, nothing to see here, move along, no illegal activity happening in the back room, keep moving people.
 

You see where I am going with this?
 

Fuck sake, we’ve been had. La Harpe’s is home to the biggest Mafia cover-up in Little Rock. I’m okay with this but that prime time real estate is being wasted for some Bros to make extra cheese.
 

Your opinion matters little but let me know what you think.
 

Do you think I’m right?

Low carb masterpiece and a smothered piece of meat

BIKINIS

It's that time of year, time to shed that winter coat if you know what I mean. Ive got a dish for you.

Head down to Dizzy's downtown and order up the lowcarb burger. Feast your eyes on the beauty. Smothered in the veggies you like, peppers, onions, arties etc. Effing awesome. I didn't include the monster cheese dip, its not on your diet shidiot.

Shewolf ordered the hamburger steak. It was too big to finish so yours truly had a nasty leftover lunch.  Baked potato included.

I was told I need to branch out to some new places, look I get it. I understand terrible as fuck WLR had good grub but I'm not trying to compromise my ideals for the trek out west.

Monsters in(vade) the Rock 27

The Rivermarket is a hot bed for monster activity. Little bastards are on the back of tons of signs. I've included two shots, on is obviously our trademark monster but the other looks to be a beer bottle abstract. You know it's legit because it has the JFJ initials which are on a ton the work.

Be warned.

New Juanita’s Y’all

There's been at least three restaurants in Juanita's new home since I moved to LR back in 2007. It's downtown, it's in a hole, and it's off the beaten path. You could say South Main Street is that much worse now that Juanita's has packed up shop and moved to the Rivermarket. As for Juanita's, it was alright. The cheese dip is still righteous, and their prices are still high. I'm talking $9 for a small fish burrito rice and beans. It isn't like I'm not willing to fork 10 bones outta my tightwad hands, I'd be happy to do that, the kicker is I expect crunk portions. The portions weren't that crunk. The burrito was pretty dang good. I added japs cause it's my obligation to the Order.   Clank had a quesadilla, not that crunk either. Y'all. The chips and dip are dope, save yo cash and hit up Riviera Maya of you want Mexican. FMLR.

Hotdogs and Hangover

It’s Wednesday. You’re obviously on a budget. You get an email from your bro saying “Free Fucking Beer.” Then you dump your pants.Then you realize it’s Movies in the Park downtown. This is like taking candy from a baby.

 

I’m already a fan of this. Surreal next level ish.

 

In reality, the LR Chamber Young Pros were indeed handing out free beer before the showing of movies in the park. LR Celebrity Hot Dog Mike was there slinging meat. We took some pics.

Hot_dogs_and_hangover

I should be a photog because this is swag. Please note the free beer.

  • WOOPIGHOTDOG!™ $4.00

All beef dog topped with bacon, slaw, onion, sweet BBQ sauce and a hint of tangy sriracha sauce. The one that put Hot Dog Mike on the map.

That’s what’s up.

Clank

This is how hot blondes eat dogs and drank beer.

Guys I didn’t even mention the Movie in the Park was The Hangover. I also failed to mention my cooler filled with Amreican Beer.
