Win a Super Mega Wholly Guacamole Prize Pack (Ends 1/27)

The stage is finally set. And while my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be attending Super Bowl XLVII (unless they bought tickets), I’m still pumped. February 2, 2013 sees the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens. Now I’m usually an AFC guy, but as a Steelers fan, the Ravens are arch rivals. But I also really can’t stand the Patriots. So no matter who would’ve won the AFC Championship, I’d be rooting for the …

We’re Getting a Red Robin! Yummmmmmmmmm!

So Allie texted me this photo earlier today. (Can you “text” a photo? What’s the proper verbage here? Anyone?) She was out shopping at the local Palisades Mall (a.k.a. The “Ugly Mall”) and saw this sign. I’ve only eaten at Red Robin a handful of times but I’ve loved it every single time. Really good burgers, and I’m particular to the French Dip, actually. The kids like it too, especially Ryan. It’s tough for him to …
