Mr. Cod in San Antonio

When new places pop up around the local area for lunch I am one to give them a try.  Stemming from the UK with only two locations in the states I figured I was pretty safe.  Mr. Cod is located on DeZavala near the post office on the northwest side of town.  After gazing the menu for a few minutes I settled on the lunch special which was, surprise “Fish and Chips.”  A few minutes later out comes a plate at the end of the buffet line, here we go.  One Cod fillet, some cold “chips” and horrible attempt at a lunch salad.  I made my way to the condiment bar to find a condiment pump stuck in a 2 gallon plastic bottle that read “Sysco Tarter” a  nice touch of class.  Just when I thought that Long John Silvers was the bottom of the barrel for fast seafood, this place pops up.

Tennessee Moonshine now available for sale

A recent change on Tennessee law has allowed the distilling of sprits again, bring on the shine.  Located on the Parkway in Gatlinburg, TN this will sure be a hit with all of the tourists on the way to take in all of the excitement that Ripleys has brought to the parkway.

Side note: There is more to see than the parkway in Gatlinburg, take a walk into the park and see the real beauty.

Whisky Stones

Whisky Stones, originally uploaded by adambarhan.
These little ice-imitators are specially designed to put a slight chill in your Whiskey. All you do is put them in the freezer for a few hours and then pop a couple into a glass of single malt. Once you’re done, rinse, dry and do it all over again! And no need to worry about a watery drink, because these stones don’t dilute (that’s the best part). Dylan Thomas would’ve loved these things. We hope you will too.
