PrintDate: Thursday June 11th
Time: 645pm
Location: Bard's Burgers, Latonia KY
The first thing i have to disclose is that Bard's is a client of mine and I might be slightly biased. It is probably the most cost efficient burger of the local legends, with the possible exception of Quatman's or Herb & Thelma's. Bard's is also known for their poutine (google it), fried hot dogs and fried twinkies. Oh, and there fries are carbon copies of the fresh cut Penn Station (CHAIN ALERT!) fries that make a certain female RR'er all giggity.
Jch is going for the 10 burger Bardzilla challenge. Bard's owner says 7 out of 100 people have successfully completed this challenge. I'm putting our boy's odds at a staggering 50/50. There is a scheduled Reds game and we will pop down the block to a locally watering hole afterwards to hoist a few drafts and possibly shoot some stick.

In the area
Goodtimers is the little bar right next to Bard’s. $2 beers. My favorite bar.
Legends is right down the street on the corner, great spot to watch the game, tv’s all over the place. Service can be slow if its busy.
"Avoid the Clap, Jimmy Dugan. That's good advice!"
woah
someone else knows Latonia? Scary….
Legends has a nice setup but its execution usually falls below expectations. I’m a big fan of actually being able to successfully order and receive beers in a timely manner. But the hi-def screens are nice.

Poutine in Kentucky?
And here I thought it was to be found only in Quebec, and perhaps cheesehead country (Wisconsin).

Nobody has voted "no" yet
I’m not sure what that says about jch, but it seems like the readers (myself included!) have a lot of confidence in his ability to eat an enormous cheeseburger. Uhh… congrats.

Highly doubtful
However, a deep-fried hot dog wrapped in bacon may just have to happen…

HMMMMM once again the RR outing is on Thursday...I'm getting the picture...
Sweat plus sacrifice equals success. Charles O. Finley
Sweat plus sacrifice equals a runner in scoring position. Dusty Baker
Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads
childcare dictates, son....

I work for me. I take on consulting projecrs and once I begin a job I have to work within hours alloted to me.
If I don’t, I run the risk of pissing folks off and then they send in their security people and well it can get ugly.
Plus Thursday night is the night I work on screenplays with my buddy Mark. His schedule is such that Thursdays evenings are the best time to get a few good hours of work done.
I’m just jealous of you guys out on the town, with a beautiful woman, having beers and me working.

Okay
I wish I knew of this joint when I was coming into town, because burger challenges are totally up my alley. Unfortunately, I’ve failed at pretty much all of them, but one of these days, I’ll win one!
So I don’t have a facebook, nor am I remotely interested in one just to get the details, but what is this 10 burger challenge? Like, 10 double-pattied burgers? Burger challenges are tricky – all that bun gets in the way, and fills you up.
I’m here to see what kind of smack jch has to say about Atlanta after his trip.
*Mads, I did indeed hold true to my word and donate 23 canned goods at a food drive held in Atlanta last month.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Here's a pic

This burger reminds me of Steve Trachsel
There’s a good chance I feel that I could win.

Anyone know what the weight of this thing is? Two months ago, I was capable of packing away 4.5 lbs of pizza from the joint in Georgia that was on Man v. Food…

3 1/3 pounds of meat (10 1/3 pound patties)

Just got home, Looooong day
I should have the Eyewitness Report up tomorrow. :)

As I told obc earlier today
I don’t remember signing on fully to this challenge. And damnit I didn’t know they had poutine too, are they just setting a bear trap for me over at this place?
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
maybe they could put poutine on your plate instead of fries
And dont forget the Rippers…I’m intrigued by the Who Dey Ripper. Fried all beef hot dog with chili, onions and cheese inside.

Actually, I might not be able to tomorrow night
as I’d like to not vomit before seeing a friend of mine who is only in town until Friday. :/
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
Man
I hope they give you a colostomy bag too, because poutine on top of that burger seems like a natural disaster waiting to occur. But I’d totally try it if I were up there.

Meh
He’s 23 and has a Golden Doodle. I’m not taking advice from anyone with those credentials. :)
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
bottom line
ya gotta pay for quality and $7 isnt a king’s ransom. wait til he hears about the $15 Kobe burger at Tink’s.
methinks the kid probably passed on the $13 tequila.
"We're going to Adonis, son"
jch24
The Kobe burger at Tink's is top notch

After the Adonis debacle, there's no way I'm going to a place called Tink's and asking for the good meat. :)

i just invited tommy
it was his find a couple years ago. best. burger. ever. so says sukr.

Okay, you guys can call me whatever the hell you want
But I’m not so sure about trying THIS on for size.
(3 1/3 pounds of meat, 1 pound of cheese and 2 pounds of fries)
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
I think you can do it.

HA!
I saw the photos. You and Ash seemed to be having a good time watching him look like a fool. By the way, was that some sort of wurst you were eating? It looked delicious.

Rippers
Basically, a deep fried all-beef hot dog wrapped in bacon. It’s even better than it sounds.
