What more manly on Father’s Day then trimmings infused with descriptive words like Desert Fire and Diablo?

Since dad is into manly stuff, here are four possibilities to treat him for a change, two square meals and some music and even a Guinness, Irish or not.
— What’s new locally as a place to take dad for Father’s Day? How about the new Pudge’s, with two bar/lounge options, the adjoining Club 304 for American and other food, and if you hang around for a bit, even the chance to shoot some pool, with little waiting because of their four tables.
— Dad likes manly food, so among the 20 categories of items in the brunch at Green Mill are these: An Assortment of Bars, Cream Puffs or Cookies; Award-Winning Pizza; Award-Winning Wings; BBQ Ribs; Bacon; Breakfast Pizza; Chef Carved Prime Rib; Corned Beef Hash; Desert Fire Pasta; French Toast or Four-Cheese Scrambled Eggs; Grilled Chicken Diablo; Jumbo Sausage Links; Muffins or Donuts; and Sliced Short Ribs with Onion Jam.
— Dad can be set in his ways, so he’d probably appreciate these longtime, tried and true bands that play the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt over the upcoming Father’s Day weekend. On Friday night its the Zebra Mussels, followed on Saturday night with Still Runnin’.
— It’s that time of the month, and in this case it’s a good thing. Dick’s Bar and Grill is carrying St. Patrick’s Day forward through the rest of 2017 by offering, on the 17th of each month, bottles of Guinness for only $3. That’s something to get your Irish up 12 times a year.

  • ‘Urban Table’ reopens after five months, minus the olive and vine name, but keeping the same old ambiance. It adds a coffee and wine bar, $3 premium drinks prepared under the eye of a barista and the advanced eatery knowledge that comes from the new owner, Ben Jung, a face you’ll recognize from nearby Hudco To Go, who says music is on the way, too, back to this staple Hudson venue.
They’ve added a coffee bar, so you can have a foray of seating for four on stools in front of it, a wine bar and a petite table for two directly in front of the southwest window, and plenty of inexpensive drinks, but other than that The Urban Table as it is known is much like the former Urban Olive and Vine before it. The man who is the brains behind Hudco To Go has brought those $3 premium drinks and more to the restaurant that is kitty-corner to the, again, southwest when you take Locust Street and venture onto...

  • What will Bruce, the top dogg, and Maiden mew about concerning the world when they make a stop in Shakopee? Plenty of tramau to pick from, even if they do not get irate about Iran, or emulate. But closer to home, others of my ilk have been to Italy and more lately, or just out in the garden tending to flowers and kitties.
So many problems in our world, US and UK. How and when to bitch? Waiting for them to be named by a sizeable band, if they shed light on politics and ethical behavior in general, can make you numb. Has anyone else noticed, as we get older and grayer, the similarity in facial look between two who are on vocals, first a rapper and second a metal singer, knotted-side-hair Snoop Dogg and long and straight-to-collar Bruce Dickinson, one who spews island drinks as opposed to the other homemade beer, as Iron Maiden continues on in their latest with a gigantic gaggle of groups with requisite...

  • Deaths and memorials. They do not stop with that given by Miley Cyrus for Dolly Parton. In what follows, I recount the recent musical remembrances of a local musician, as his father lay passing, and that by me in song for my own dad. And the resemblances therein. And a dream reflecting it all. (And newly added, we’ll Curry favor and Frank, and more on Dolly and the God she is close to.)
Just over two years ago, I sang solo an Iron Maiden song, Blood Brothers, slowly strummed via my cell phone to provide the instrumental, as the exact moment my dad was laid to his final rest under clay. A few weeks ago, one-man-band professional Jeff Loven, one of the best musicians I have ever heard and one with whom I have sung for 25 years, strummed the favorite Johnny Cash songs his father loved in the background for the last hour his dad had on this earth, the troubles of which Cash so frequently sang. Certainly, one of them was Hurt,...

A hodgepodge listing of everything that’s truly different but maybe baked porage follows, and we’re not talking about a connect-the-dots or puzzle-pieces contest or one on Trump’s foreign policy, haha, rather what I saw and what will be seen around town in recent times. Mostly, one of each. Think you have the world’s, or more likely local church’s, best grilled cheese sandwich, (coming from the land of, specifically, well curded and curdled milk and honey?) Fry it to the test on Saturday. No this is not an autumn chili cookoff, or char the best burger, or even a poker run...
