Local Brews, Corn Pasta and a Chill Atmosphere
Let's get one thing straight. I don't consider myself a foodie. I love food and I like trying new food. But you will never find me analyzing what I just ate down to the most minute detail? I think it ruins food. I do however consider myself a bar-ie or a ...
Eating Raw In Spokane
I think sushi is an acquired taste, kind of like squid, only much easier to acquire. The weird thing about my sushi transformation is that I've always liked fish, it's just the thought of raw fish made me queasy . . . or maybe it was the texture? It really doesn't matter which ...
Great music. Awesome venues. In Spokane?
I love music, but I'm definitely not a musician. In fact, I'm probably as far from a musician as you can get. The bulk of my musical experience comes from a stint with the recorder during third grade. But despite my lack of formal musical training I'm still a huge fan ...
April Showers Bring... Spring Barrel Tasting
Okay...okay, maybe the whole saying thing doesn't work in this instance, but who's to say there isn't some connection between the dreary rain of spring thaw and my desire to drink some yummy wine? It's obvious to me that the two are clearly aligned.

Dueling Pianos . . . There’s A Mental Image For You
A long time ago, in my previous life, I took piano lessons. I was never any good. And despite my teacher's completely unfounded claims of my lack of practice, I blame it on her for being old and out of touch. The fact that it took me three weeks to figure out where middle ...
Happy Hour Makes Me Happy
For me, happy hour is a lifesaver. It's a way to be social, but not blow the bank. And it's a way to check out the new digs on the scene without committing to a whole night out. In a way happy hour is like speed dating. Stay with me now, I can explain. But ...
On garlic breath and vampires...
I admit it. I've always had a strange fascination with vampires. One just has to think about the totally HOT movie Draculas of the past, from those old school blood suckers like Bela Lugosi and Jack Palance... to Brad Pitt and the mysterious Gary ...
Que Syrah Syrah...
Okay, I admit it. Sometimes I'm a bit snobby about wine. I've never been a fan of Syrah, relegating it to the elementary education level of learning to enjoy red wine. Frankly, I say to myself, it's for sissies... the drinkable posterchild for wineaux who can't handle ...

The gloves are off for this one ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets and choose your sides. The heavy weight, battle royale for Spokane nightlife supremacy is on! Will the Pub Crawl prevail? Or will the Martini March march on?
In the red corner, weighing in at a ...
