JUST THE FACTS

Dan Bengel
Hello there, maybe you found this site because you are really unlucky, or maybe I told you about it. Whatever the case may be, you now owe me a beer! This is not some fancy blog, with me posting on it all day, but one that has "just the facts". You know, the important things in life. The tap list, events coming up, and specials. Yeah, I'm even going to comment on some of the stuff I will be doing here. So get me that beer and relax, the show is getting ready to start.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO NORTHSIDE

The wind was wicked and it was a mighty cold night outside, but inside this little fellar here was mighty warm. And the 50 or so people who ventured to The Northside were not dissapointed. It was another fine performace from Chef Beck and of course Mr. O and the hard working staff at Sunday night's dinner. I got there about a forty five minutes late as I had a previous dinner engagement. By that time those hungry Northsiders had already devoured one pig and were finishing up a Hendricks cheese course. I of course went to the bar were Sarah "Rocks" and Ms. Kim were filling up those wine glasses with Ondineke Tripel and I got one for myself. I strolled around the room and ended up sitting with these fine folks.
In just a minute or so the beer and food were flying out of the kitchen and the bar, making for some very happy people. The Pheasant Confit on top of Baby Greens with Candied Walnuts tossed in a Framboise Vinaigrette paired with Leifman's Luficer.


Pan seared Buffalo Strip Steak with Barley Risotto and Wittekerke sauteed Leeks, Turnips and Brussel Sprouts. Paired with La Binchoise Reserve and La Rulles Voeux. By the time this was done everybody needed a little breather, so I thought I would get up and see what all the other Northsiders were doing.
When the dessert came out, well it was so good I forgot to take a picture. All in all it was another good time at the Northside. Kudos to that hard working staff in the kitchen and out on the floor, Chef Beck and of course Ms. Kim and Sarah and those Ortino's, I think they may have something to do with this.
