Minor nit: when it was still on the Franklin’s menu (and as it is in the rolodex), that’s “El Pinche Tigre”. “Pinche de Tigre” doesn’t make any grammatical sense, and kind of misses the cross-lingual joke that Alex Day was making there.

No Victory brews on the beer menu? At least the Yards Brawler made the cut! NOTE: Yards Brawler is not appreciated by hockey players after a game. Too rich. Once again, my favorite beers are not welcome after hockey, which is odd, because that is one of my favorite times to drink beer…(Prima Pils lost in popularity to Miller Lite after a game last year…)

So glad to see Tinto’s chestnut soup on this list (and I voted for it). It’s the creamiest, dreamiest and decadent soup I’ve ever had. Get some TODAY, if you haven’t, GO-now, it’s that good.
