Gourmands Week 2

IMG_2493

Great night once again at my new favorite east side gastropub. I tried the Godfather sandwich this week and it was delightful. If you could invent any sandwich what would it be and what would you call it? Leave a comment and I may just buy the best one a beer.

Round 1 this week The Umpire Strikes Back was all about Star Wars and Baseball. A bit of a tough round, but teams Sons of Sandusky and Interracial Same-sex Handholding both managed a near perfect 9 points. Not bad, not bad at all…

What up quiz dudes? Thanks for joining us for another amazing quiz night. It’s getting chilly outside, but that’s okay, the quizzes are just as fun inside.

Round 1, This is the End was all about THE END! From Highlander to Howard’s End, Chaucer to the Ramones, we had a good mix of everything end-y. Pizza Chowdah rocked this round, they scored 9 points and were the only team to get more than 6.

Hole in the Wall 12/4

Thanks to all who came out to Hole in the Wall this past Sunday. It was super cold, but luckily those fine folks in the HITW restaurant were happy to let us sit inside today. I was actually surprised at what a great turnout we had considering the weather. You guys are great.

Round 1 this week The Wizard of Oz, was a fun one. Who didn’t love that movie growing up? From Glinda the Good Witch to the Washington Wizards, I think we pretty much covered it all.

First Quiz at Gourmands

Thanks to all who came out to Gourmand’s last night for our first quiz night. I had a blast and really hope that you did too! Great turnout by the way for the first one, lets try to double it for next week.

Shangrila 11/28

Hey everybody! We’re working hard trying to get the weekly blogs back up and running like it used to be. Here’s hoping next weeks quiz will make it on here too. Last night was a blast as always. Had a somewhat smaller turnout (okay, our smallest ever), but that’s okay it was still a great time.

Our 600th Quiz!

Thanks to the few of you who showed up Sunday for Who Wants a Dollar?’s 600th quiz! It was a low turn-out (I don’t blame you, it was super cold), but we made the most of it with some special prizes and fun competitions.

Round 1, Arrested Development, wasn’t just about the show, it was also about celebrity arrests. You guys did really well on this round, and I know have a new found respect for Daniel Baldwin.

The Wet Hot American Quiz

Thank you all for coming to our first ever themed quiz and the first ever quiz in my backyard! It was a ton of fun and we can’t wait to do our next one. Sure we ran out of beer and we didn’t have enough time to get that goat for the photobooth. But the bologna sandwiches were plentiful and so was the awesomeness.

Holes and Walls and …rain?

Real Steel Magnolias

So it was a bit on the wet side last night, but you guys still showed up in full force ready for some great quiz action. And, I have to say, as much as I hate that new wall for the restaurant, the food is pretty damn good.

We started things off with a pleasant little round about everyones favorite movie about singing nuns, Sister Act. The round also focused on some sisters and some acts… I wonder what Tia and Tamera are up to nowadays? Dixon Cider cleaned house on this one with a near perfect 9, but Team Apollo was close by with 8.

Shang 8/8

Thank you all for playing our quiz once again. It was a great turnout and I can’t wait until the next one. Round 1, Reality Bites was all about 90s rom-coms and reality shows. Is Cops still on the air anyway? If only they did it like the Real World where they traveled to different cities each season… Anyway, great round. We had 6 teams get a perfect 10.

Round 2, Nothing in Particular was, just like it says, about nothing. Pretty easy for a 20-point round, our top scorers were Goy Meets World with 18.

Shangrila-la-la-la

Another amazing quiz over at Shangrila. We had some delicious and FREE East Side Kings courtesy of everyones favorite bar app TabbedOut. We also had a good mystery shot, which has been rare lately. Plus, we had a great quiz!

Round 1, Dy-No-Mite was all about Jimmie Walker, TNT and Dinosaurs. Personally, my favorite dinosaur is the kind that spit on Newman in Jurassic Park. I don’t remember what it was called, but if you leave a comment with its name I’ll buy you a beer at the next quiz. Anyway. You all did well. 3 teams got a near perfect 9 and only 1 ream fell below 5 points.
