Shot and a Beer was asked to be a judge for a Bloody Mary contest at the 2018 Benton Franklin County Fair. I’ve gotta say, it’s a tough job. There were five competitors made up of local restaurants. Here’s who was there: Magills Crazy Moose Amendment XXI Andy’s North Sterling’s Restaurant First off, all the […]
The Edge Steakhouse and Lounge in Kennewick does an outstanding Bloody Mary. Their mix is obviously made in-house and the flavor shows. They offer their Bloody’s a couple of different ways. There’s the regular way as well as the “loaded” version. This one was the “regular” but I’ve had the “loaded” version too. You won’t […]
At Michelle’s is one of the Tri-Cities newest places. It took over (and dramatically upgraded) the previous Thomas O’Neil Cellars in North Richland. I was very impressed with the upgraded interior. It definitely looks great and you can tell they put some work into making this place look nice. At first blush, this place should […]
I hadn’t had a Rum Barrel from Cedars Restaurant in Kennewick in a couple years. As you’ve probably gathered by now, I’m more of a whiskey drinker. But every now and then, you’ve got to get a drink that brings back some fuzzy memories. The Rum Barrel is a Tri-Cities staple. If you’ve never had […]
First time here. We started off with a couple of different drinks. I had the Notorious P.I.G. which was made with Whistle Pig Rye. It was delicious. Kim had the Kind of Big Dill which is a gin-based drink with hints of dill and other flavors. It was surprisingly delicious. The Volstead has an amazing […]
What does one do when on a trip. One has a shot and a beer with some newly made friends. It’s hard to beat a shot of Jack Daniels and a PBR. Now I’ve had one in Fargo, ND.
This has been a good trip to Fargo so far. The food has been good. The people have been very friendly. The drinks have been above par. This also goes for the Old Fashioned made for me tonight. They did it up with some Knob Creek and it was delicious. Fargo will keep you warm […]
I’ve been drinking a few more Old Fashions lately. They’re quite delicious. Tonight, my girl and I, went to Cedars for a quick dinner. I had the usual and she had her “usual”. Her drink tends to be a dirty gin martini. Summer is coming. Cedars in Kennewick is going to be a hotspot with […]
I love a good Old Fashioned. I love making myself an Old Fashioned at home. It let’s me get them exactly the way I want without pissing of a bartender. If you ever get the chance to make yourself an Old Fashioned with Pendleton Whiskey, give it a go. You just might like it. On […]
This was my official birthday dinner since my actual birthday fell on a bullshit Wednesday. We all went to one of the newest restaurants that has opened in the Tri-Cities. Tonight’s dinner was at PROOF Gastropub and here is what went down and what was worth writing about: Fish & Chips These were damn good […]
