Million Dollar Idea: The Beer Stock Ticker
I recently took a trip out to the bowels of Columbia to check out Frisco Taphouse and Brewery (6695 Dobbin Rd., Columbia), where their beer list is not – as most places – in the form of a printed menu (which would cost very little), but rather a huge and presumably expensive flat panel display, listing their selection with ABV values alongside the name. It reminded me of an airport departure board rather than a menu, but a few days later I happened to be sitting in a certain recently sold bar/restaurant with a certain bar owner and the awesome idea was born: Enhance the beer menu by making it a STOCK TICKER! Follow me on this here: Every keg is placed on a scale, which monitors the weight of the … Read entire article »

More TX Based Wingstops on the way, Cluck U still better
Noticed today via Dining@Large and a few other sources that the Texas Based food chain Wingstop, who specialize in chicken wings (durr) will be opening up to 20 new locations in the Bmore/Wash region in the next few years. This inevitably got me thinking about Laurel, MD based (now with a location in Lebanon!) Cluck-U Chicken and how awesome they are. I mean, they’ve got buffalo pizza fries in certain locations, and nearly every one I’ve been to is BYOB. Their wings are great, tossed in either BBQ-based or vinegar-based (“traditional”) buffalo sauce, with their hottest flavor “911″ requiring a waiver before purchase – which I’ve had one time in the form of a toothpick dipped in the sauce, resulting in my drunken agony-writhing on the floor of the Towson location. … Read entire article »

Mondo Baltimore extended through the fall
This past summer, a phenomenon was born: Mondo Baltimore. A glorious festival of sitting amongst a crowd of people at Windup Space (12 W North Ave., Charles North) and watching awful, terrible movies every first Thursday throughout the summer was a wonderful thing, so wonderful in fact that Mondo Baltimore has been extended through the fall, and with any luck and lots of patronage will become a permanent fixture on the landscape of awesome in this city. So please won’t you, join the ghoulish Minions of Mondo next Thursday October 7th for their next feature, Trick or Treat starring Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons! Doors open at 6:30pm or something. More movies listed on the flier below! (Mondo Baltimore also has a Facebook page) … Read entire article »

Tying it all together: Frank Zappa Day and Movember in Baltimore
As it was widely reported this past Sunday, a big ol’ statue of Frank Zappa’s head – Baltimore’s own prolific avant garde rock/jazz/classical/everything else musician and defender of free speech – was dedicated in Highlandtown in front of a crowd of billions. While the idea as to where it should have gone was expressed a little while ago, I’m sure everyone is pleased as punch that the head finally has a home in Baltimore. And if I might for a minute suggest to you all – watch this, one of Frank’s final interviews in 1993 on the Today Show, where he quietly expresses some of his opinions on his career, the sickness that cut his life prematurely, and how he wanted to be remembered – only a few short months before … Read entire article »

Baltimore Beer Week 2010 (aka BBW 2010)
The cooler days of Fall are approaching (thank God) and it can mean one of several things for you personally, be it impending yardwork, giving birth to a child, whatever floats your boat. But certainly, one thing it should definitely mean for you personally is your participation in the 2nd Annual Baltimore Beer Week, put together by the fine folk at Beer In Baltimore and many other area vendors, sponsors, coordinators and other hard working types. A celebration of all things beer running from October 7th-17th, with a whopping 24 beer events happening around the Baltimore area, you’d be hard pressed not to trip over a firkin or two during that period of time. The kickoff party is going down on October 7th at the Museum of Industry (1415 Key Highway, … Read entire article »
