MN Speak Dive Bar post

—[Shogun’s Log, supplemental: Rumors of a possible demise of the famed Garlic Roast Beef Sandwich, pride of Stan Mayslack himself, have been somewhat exaggerated (mostly by me.) The situation is nominal. Though a new Pot Roast of the week special may occasionally trump the roast beef offerings, there is little call to actually remove it from the menu.]

From my point of view, we are sure to see some interesting action. Imagine, if you will, The Modern representing the Romulan Star Empire, and Mayslack’s representing the Klingons. There is a great galactic war and the theatre of combat will be inside the stock pot. Perhaps an Iron Chef style “battle pot roast” would make for a great spectator sport. Oc course, watching a pot roast simmer for several hours might be a bit boring, especially since it is probably in an oven. Format needs tweaking… Hey, I know, it could go on concurrently with a Cricket Match! Yea, I have to much time on my hands.

Anyhow, It has been revealed that the new KM at ‘Slacks used to be the chef at the Sample Room. A breakfast menu is in the works. Hmmm yea. Now that I think if it, NE doesn’t really have a good breakfast hotspot. Nothing like Hell’s Kitchen, Victor’s, or the Sunnyside up at any rate. The one exception that comes to mind would be the the Modern.

I am really liking where that 13th and University area is going. Modern, 331, Erte, the revamped theatre, and now, around the corner, ’slacks is juicing things up a little. Perhaps this will increase the value of the somewhat nearby Shogun Manor?

My next question is this: What happens when the 22nd Avenue Station gets a chef?
