Having a mad craving for meat, we headed to the Nickel so I would be sated. The surprise waiting for us was Kristen Trattner, noticing the Sean's NOFD tshirt mentioned she had a bottle of Dixie for him to try. "What?!"
Sean taking a sip of his Dixie..
Turns out their beer & wine license went through the beginning of the year. Kristen says they should have it on the menu officially next week and will carry about five or six different beers at a time. Like the soda they offer, she says they plan to mix it up and 'keep it fun'.. So at least for now, they plan to have different brands available.
This was Sean's first Dixie (I got him hooked on Abita) and agreed with Kristen it's definitely an 'everyman's beer' and similar to a PBR. So there you go. =)
Big Thanks to Kristen for sharing the news with us. It's a long time coming for that beer and wine license.
As for me, I did alright!
I ordered the lowrider burger (Ano chilis, pepperjack cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes) w/ a salad instead of fries. I asked for the dressing on the side. I did good earlier in the day so I actually had just enough to be able to eat the burger (leaving the bun). It was just the thing!
Next time I'll get that steak salad.. sometimes a cheeseburger is all you really want.

Oooh I had the steak salad for lunch on Friday and can really recommend it! You feel like it's a lot, but really it's not too bad. (or maybe that was the smac and cheese on the side and free pumpkin pop tart that Kristen gave me. Dammit!)
sounds like a definite recommendation!
I love the smac n cheese too.. but I'm going to have to lay off that one for a while and what's this about a pumpkin pop tart?? (we avoided desserts all-together so I wouldn't be tempted).
Eating out is tough--- you're right though sometimes a burger is all you need and if you had the points for it go for it-- removing the bun always helps too! :)
Julia I did end up having the steak salad a couple weeks back.. I didn't realize it would come with a giant wedge of lettuce! I ate it like lettuce wraps. It was very good! =) We also split one of those pumpkin pop tart. I charged myself for 2 of those Kellogg's variety b/c I'm sure homemade means more points.. ;P
Corine (?) I usually take the bun off (at least the top part!) Since joining on the new Points Plus I don't eat the bun at all these days. =) Usually my food comes with a giant leaf of lettuce so I use that instead. =)
