We counted 23,935 votes in the first round of the 254Eats Bracket Challenge (well, actually Polldaddy counted for us) and narrowed the field from 32 to 16 restaurants.
Voting for the second round, the Sweet 16 in tourney vernacular, begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Here's a look at some of the intriguing matchups.
I've been keeping a close eye on the 254EatsBracketChallenge as we reach the final 10 hours of voting for the first round. Remember, voting ends at midnight tonight.
With a little voting time left, there are six close matchups, including three — all in the Cameron Park Zoo bracket — that have flip-flopped in the last 24 hours.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a beer dinner hosted by BJ’s Brewhouse and I can truthfully state that I was not, in the least, disappointed with the experience that BJ’s provided.
BJ’s offers the beer dinner about once every quarter, the next one is being planned for either the end of April or the beginning of May, but at the time of writing, they haven’t decided. The dinner is priced at great value, $30 for nine beer tasters and five menu items. Heck yeah!
Attention fans of chain steakhouses: Longhorn Steakhouse will open its new restaurant on Franklin Avenue on March 24.
I asked about opening preview events and received a vague response involving the Chamber of Commerce or somesuch. Oh well, it will be spring break anyway. I think I was only given tentative permission to publish this blog. I couldn't really understand the conversational arc. But I'm taking the risk for you, WacoFork friends.
Well, wouldn't you know it, we roll out our 254EatsBracketChallenge and, on the same day, Torchy's let's us know when they're opening.
We have an opening date and an initial enticing offer. We're still keeping our ear to the ground to find out if there will be any sort of pre-opening events.
Polls close Friday, March 7 at 11:59pm. You can vote once per hour in each match-up until then.
