We met up with a friend whom I haven’t seen in years. We decided on Bonefish in Richland since it was equidistant for all of us. While catching up, we did so over a couple of Smokey Old Fashions which were absolutely delicious. Bonefish does some really good drinks in the Tri-Cities. Whether you’re looking […]
Posting food pics from Zips is one of the ways Shot and a Beer dot com started in the early days. Zips is and always will be one of my go to places for comfort food. Today’s lunch was their simple bacon cheeseburger. It’s delicious and packed full of memories of my childhood. If you’re […]
I’ve been hearing good things about Firehouse Subs. They opened up their Kennewick location right down the road from my office so I thought I’d pop in there for a quick lunch. Right off the bat, they were busy when I got there. Barely a parking spot to be found and there was a line […]
I love Zips. Always have. Always will. I’m willing to pay their prices (I do think their prices are a touch out of whack) because Zips represents a large piece of my childhood. I always preferred their burgers to McDonalds and Burger King. I think their fish n chips are really good (but not at […]
I’ll be an Outbacker for life. I did five years there. I still love the food and I think their wings are some of the best around. To be real, I think their steaks are a little middle of the road but are a good value. But let’s get back to their wings. I love […]
Outback Steakhouse in Kennewick is probably the only chain restaurant I write about outside of all the locally owned places. The reason for this is because I spent five years of my life working for Outback. So there’s still a bit of love there for the food and the people. Outback Sirloin The sirloin is […]
This was the end of our night and it couldn’t have been better. There is nothing wrong with making a late night Zips run. Not gonna lie, we tried going to Dicks, but they were already closed. This was the tail end of an amazing impromptu night in Spokane. The food we ate was amazing […]
Come on… how good can fast food fish and chips really be? Well, these are pretty darn good for being of the “fast food variety.” They go well with Zips Tartar sauce and especially go well when paired with a cheeseburger. If you haven’t been to Zips in a while, you should give them a […]
There are a few places in the Tri-Cities that do fried pickles. Buffalo Wild Wings is one of them. They do the “sliced chip” variety as opposed to the “fried spear” kind. The breading was pretty good. The it pairs well with their ranch.
Normally I drink bourbon. I do bend the rules for a small handful of drinks. The 57 Chevy is one of them. Back in a former life as a bartender, I poured hundreds of these, if not more. This drink has a healthy mixture of vodka, rum, Southern Comfort, Grand Marnier, Creme de Noyaux, and […]
