Arse's Fatty Rewind™ (Rock-n-Sake, Surrey's, Charlie's Steakhouse, etc)

Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the FDB. I had a slow weekend due to the amount of work I have set for this week. But all in all it wasn't too shabby of a calorie count.

After work on Friday, I ran home to a double of Beam. After finishing that, the lady and I headed to the WHD to dine. We had plans to go see Robin Barnes sing at the Polo Club Lounge at the Windsor Court. We decided on Rock-n-Sake.

I should have known better. The sushi chefs were non-Asian. I ordered squid salad, miso soup, escolar sushi, and salmon sashimi.





The miso soup was very buttery, and the squid salad was your stereotypical bucket of squid salad from any Asian market. The escolar sushi was very small, however it was delicious. The sashimi was sliced extremely thin, and was not very filling. I always feel like I've been robbed when I dine there. The only selling point on this place may be that a lot of girls get dolled up to go there before going out.

After dinner, we walked to the Polo Lounge. It was freezing. I had to stop at the valet at the Harrah's hotel to defrost under their heaters. Thanks, Harrahs.

Upon arrival, I ordered a Fall version of an Old Fashion. I was good, but it didn't have the bite I was looking for. On the second round, I went with Elijah Craig up.



We left after an hour, because I planned on working Saturday morning.

On Saturday morning, I awoke at the crack of dawn. I was starving from the night before. I ran to Surrey's and grabbed the Costa Rican breakfast with boudin and poached eggs. It comes with brown rice, avocado, pico de gallo and cheese.



This was exactly what I was looking for. The flavors were fantastic and the portions filled me up. My only regret was putting a little habanero hot sauce on top. I would pay for that later.

After leaving fat and happy, I ran to the office to grind out some work. I received a couple calls from friends to meet them for drinks. I decided to quit around one.

We headed to the Courtyard Brewery. I have seen a lot about them in the news and on Twitter. I'm not much of a beer drinker so my expectations were low. I usually just stick with High Life, PBR and Budweiser.

The bar itself is not very fancy. The furniture consisted of several middle school cafeteria chairs thrown about with a few end tables. There were a lot of dudes there.

I went with something called a Turtle Neck (9%) first. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure how to describe it.




The bartender suggested my second beer. I think she liked me because we were discussing rugby positions. I don't recall what it was, but it was 11%. It was my favorite of the two. My buddy went with my original beer. Some girls came in while I was leaving.



I headed to Lafitte's from there to meet a friend who was supposed to meet us at the brewery. Unfortunately, she caught the bridge and the train.

The bar was rocking. Some old ladies were playing some Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, etc. I think the main bitch may have even been pregnant.


The bar has long been rumored to be haunted. It was the first time I was able to catch a drink with a member of the American militia.



After a discussion on guns and crime, I decided to order some cheesy tots.



Since I had not eaten lunch, these things filled me up. We had plans for dinner at 7:30.

After a few more Beams, we returned home to shower. My mom doesn't appreciate me smelling like a bottle of bourbon at the table.
