Ahh fine dining at the ol’ Belmont Inn. Nothing goes better with the nachos than the sweet waft of nicotine. Apparently, the Belmont doesn’t really have a special, though I distinctly remember asking server Rascal a few weeks back what her choice of food was and she said the California Burger. So that’s my choice, [...]

Though we had a small-ish crowd at The Maiden we had a nice little pot of cash due to the rollover cash from The Maiden’s early victory a couple of weeks ago. We cozied up with some panini sandwiches (the house recommendation) and all was good with bonus points and all. The teams all did [...]

What’s the name of the pizza restaurant on Oak Street in Hood River? You might not know, because it’s an hour and half away from Portland, but its pretty good pizza. Well, that’s the situation that Pub Quizzers at the Horse and Hound found themselves stewing about this week while being grilled on Portland restaurants. [...]

It was an awesome night last night at the Thirsty Lion! We had 53 people come and ‘dine out’ with us at the Lion. Seems there was some chicanery with the specials as everyone kept coming up and telling me that their waitress’ and waiters’ all had different specials that they preferred, so the bonus [...]

That final challenge round question really was a doozy, but in the end Facts Machine triumphed by some very clever wagering for the final question, and came out the winner this week. Congrats folks! All along though I thought Schadenfreude had it, and wasn’t going to give up their throne so easily, being the front-runner [...]

Okay, so CC Slaughters is not exactly what we would call a “dining” destination. We come to dance, party, hang out, quiz, smoke and snack. Their most popular food item (I think it may be their only food item, aside from the snack mix they serve on the tables) is the old chicken strips and [...]

The drug quiz was a hit for all. Kinda thought it was funny that many folks wanted bonus points for just mentioning a movie that had drug references in them, but could not tell me any specifics about the movie itself. Nice try. Since we only had four teams playing I allowed all four into [...]

For my first solo run at Bogey’s everyone was in high (wink) spirits for our drug theme this week. A rather intimate crowd, they gave me a warm welcome while I was training. I had some large shoes to fill with Dave being the usual quizmaster, and the quizzers made sure to capitalize on that [...]

I’m a little off my game tonight. Little tired and I used up all my speed at tonight’s rousing drug-themed quiz, so I may not be as clever and cute and obnoxious as usual. We had to turn teams away tonight to stay at the Pub Quiz USA team limit of 21, and still 90 [...]

But then, there are so many movies I haven’t seen, why should drug movies be any different? The wind went cold this Wednesday night, but Hood River’s Pub Quizzers made it through, perhaps warmed by thoughts of drug-fueled benders long since passed. The theme invited close scores. Even so, the evening was led by The [...]
