Some guy wrote in to say how inappropriate this blog is. He wants to stress that alcoholism is a real disease, and drinking too much can be very, very bad for you and the people around you. I agree. That’s why moderation is the key, and those who can’t handle it, probably should stay away from it. And those who are trying to stay away from it probably shouldn’t have “The Bar Belle” blog bookmarked as their homepage.
I love Mexican food. I know there are Mexican buffets out there … but I can’t go to one. When unlimited beans and cheese dip are spread out before me, I can’t stop. I don’t know when to say when. So I choose to stay away. That doesn’t mean I want the place to close down or stop serving all-you-can-eat deliciousness. It’s just not for me. And if you want to write a blog called “The Buffet Belle,” then by all means, go for it.
Drink responsibly, kiddos. And if you don’t, call a taxi or City Scoot or walk your ass home.

Who dat dawg?
While the city was hunting down the “rabid beasts” some call pit bulls, we had our very own dangerous dawg working behind the scenes - Metro Animal Services director Gilles Meloche. LEO reported on Meloche’s mishaps in 2006, but it took the city and the mayor this long to recognize the danger. Here’s the story.
(Oh, and it’s Julia Roberts’ birthday.)
Cheers!

Champagne is the devil, but yet I’m drawn to it like a moth to a flaming sweater.

Pizza: It’s not just for beer anymore.
I got a chance to try Tony Boombozz’s Kentucky Bourbon Pizza yesterday, and it was amazing! While it’s only available through the end of this month at all their locations, I recommend they keep it on the menu permanently.
The pizza includes grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, red onions and — best of all — a smokey barbecue sauce that is made with Four Roses bourbon, one of my favorites.
It’s definitely worth trying — let me know when you go, and you can buy me a slice or three.
Check out www.tonyboombozz.com for a location near you.

Today is Babbling Day and National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day. With stupid shit like this, I think we should have a Bar Belle Day — happy hour starts at 1 p.m. How do I go about getting my own day? Would you sign a petition? … am I babbling?

New York’s Daily Beast called me the other day to talk about meeting single dudes in Louisville. Apparently, we ranked 33 out of 36 cities in finding single men. We just beat out San Antonio, Jacksonville, Fla., and El Paso, Texas. Well shit. That’s not very good.
Here’s what those douches had to say about us:
“Beast Analysis: The Kentucky Derby may be the biggest party in the South, but Louisville, home to the nation’s famous baseball bat factory, lacks a deep storehouse of sluggers. Situated in the heart of the Bible Belt, most of the men here are already taken.”
