Went to Koi friday and had a less than stellar meal IMO. It was luke warm, overpriced, and our service was poor. On the other hand, the Bistro has one hell of a black angus burger and the mac and cheese is awesome.

I will not be spending any more cash at Koi and I don't remember the server's name. Forgot to mention Pete's for breakfast Saturday, talk about good ole southern style breakfast....good stuff right there.

If you are headed to Texas Roadhouse anytime soon, sign up online for their email club-thing. You'll get a free app about 8 hours later via email.

Sure it's a chain and all, but I love their ribs and the rest of the menu is pretty good too.

Almost choked a couple at the Brewery last night. Not only did this guy's girlfriend knock over a full beer into the foosball table and spill most of whatever she had in her hand at any given time on the floor, but somehow managed to knock my mug into the floor.

Thankfully, the folks at the brewery gave me a refill. This act of kindness may have saved that wretch and her boyfriend who, while laughing, chucked out a "soooorrriiiieeeyyyy" at me after I gave them the universal "what in the hell is wrong with you?" look.

I don't know about everyone else, but you don't act like that at dtgb. Drink your beer like you're somebody.

The crowd on hand for trivia night gets a little dumber every week. I feel your pain.

Is DTGB no longer a classy joint? That was one of my favorite haunts a few years ago. Haven't been by in three years or so.

It's still great, just the occasional outbreak of idiocy. That's the price an establishment pays for being popular. The more folks that come through the door, the better the chance of some morons entering.

I can't handle Trivia night. I do Tuesdays and some weekends here and there. Just about over the Strip all together.

All of this talk of Knoxville makes me want to get back down there. Cant wait to come back in the fall. The desert is nice, but aint nothin like East Tenn....flat out period. My favorite place to drink is Union Jack's off Northshore drive. Sooo many beers.

Had my first greasy burger-n-fries meal in months yesterday and chose Five Guys, at the suggestion of a friend. Good. REALLY good. The fresh-cut fries were outstanding and the gratis addition of grilled onions and 'shrooms to an already downright-tasty burger sealed the deal.

I've heard good things about 5 guys, but haven't tried it on any of my visits

I didn't realize Five Guys was in Knoxville now. The only time I have eaten at a Five Guys is in the Washington airport. Good stuff.
