RR Burger Tour Rides Again - FENNEL IS NOT PRIME RIB

The last time Highlifeman21 made a burger suggestion, let's just say it didn't end so well. Tonight was Mr. Life's shot at redemption and ladies and gentlemen, the boy came through like Scotty Rolen in the clutch.

HLM21 suggested Mt. Adams Bar & Grill last summer and promised to make it up to us when things went horribly wrong. Many of us have made promises here, and to be honest not many of them have been fulfilled. This one was, and in grand fashion.

The Peach and I arrived to meet the regs and HLM21 and his friend Keith at the bar just after 7:00. We hung out for a bit, had some drinks, and asked for a table but were told it would be a bit. Then Mads showed up, pulled some strings with his boy Matt behind the bar (we came to the conclusion that it is impossible to tell Mads no), and we got sat a lot quicker than we should have.

The girls ordered the Pub burger, I had the Gordo's burger, and Mads had the Blackened burger, which led to a great exchange:

ME: The Blackened, really?

Mads: I've had the Gordo's and the Pub several times and they're great, I just want something different.

ME: You know what else is great? Sex. Would you really turn that down in favor of something else?

Mads:Actually I have several times over the course of 34 years.

ME: Dude, a mouth is a mouth is a mouth, you don't turn that down!

The Peach, overhearing: What did you just say?

Me: Nothing honey, don't you worry about that.

Everyone else ordered whatever they ordered (help me out here) and the fun began. Honestly, my favorite part of the night was the interaction of everyone involved. HLM21 and Keith found their place and fit in perfectly, and everyone argued their retarded point of view, listened to someone else espouse their retarded point of view, and laughed it all off at the end.

The burgers came and a very intense and very valid conversation took place. I'm willing at this point to admit that Gordo's may have the best pure burger in Cincinnati. I've been a HUGE Terry's Turf Club advocate, but my burger tonight was pretty damned good, and I'm hearing that TTC might just be slippin'. I fully endorse a return trip to Terry's to decide.

Honestly though, tonight was great because the people there are great. We argued, agreed, and laughed our asses off. It was a GREAT time with good friends. For all you lurkers reading this, come out of your shell, come hang out. Everyone (except that douchenozzle from Columbus) I've met from the site has been pretty damned cool, and I wouldn't trade the laughs I had tonight for anything.

Man, I love this site. :)

P.S. I would be remiss if I didn't give Highlifeman21 a little bit of credit for Drew Stubbs' success upon moving down in the order. Also, Keith and Petey need to trade stories, in my presence. Oh, and 'tHan is a benevolent soul, letting obc keep his hat after winning a bet over a Paul Newman movie. SRSLY.
