Yesterday I was leaning towards going to Broadway Grille and getting fried chicken until I saw a Facebook post of their cajun pasta special. It looked wonderful so that sealed the deal.
Once we got there I asked about the cajun pasta and the waitress had to check if it was ready. When she came back she said it was so I ordered that. We both ordered Amberbocks which were good and cold with a frosted glass. The Glue decided on a cup of etouffee and an order of honey garlic wings. When I got my pasta it looked nothing like the picture and a lot like the picture of their seafood pasta. I asked if it was the cajun or seafood pasta and the waitress said the only difference is they add sausage to the pasta. Looking back at the pictures it still doesn't look right, The few shrimp that were in it still had their tails on and there wasn't much sausage either. It didn't taste bad but it wasn't anywhere close to what I was hoping for. Really my first bad experience there. On the other hand the Glue's etouffee and wings were very good. She'd ordered the alligator etouffee and it had big chucks of alligator that were nice and tender and the flavor was spot on. The wings didn't look very appetizing but the looks were deceiving. They were very good also, the honey garlic sauce had some kick to it but also some sweet. I didn't really notice any garlic flavor but that didn't hold it back. My pasta 🍺, the Glue's etouffee and wings 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍷. Overall 🍺🍺, pasta really drags it down. On a whim we stopped in at Jan's Horseshoe Inn in Schuline for the first time. When we walked in I figured they would smoke in there but they don't. They have four or five drafts and the Glue had another Amberbock while I had a Stag. There was a group of younger (to me) guys there and I figured they wouldn't say much to us but they were a fun group. One guy ended up buying everyone a round so we had another as more and more people came in. A really fun time 🍺🍺🍺🍺. Ever since we had a Scratch beer we like Wednesday at 17th St. I'd wanted to stop at Scratch before they ran out of it. They aren't let people inside except to pee and it was exactly a good day so there weren't a lot of people there. They didn't have the keller bier that I wanted to try so we both got the hickory Vienna lager and of course I pronounced like the town in Southern Illinois. The Glue wanted to be by the fire so she sat on a table while I stood a little behind her. There was a group on the other side of the fire having a nice time so I asked where they were from, Waterloo and Tunnel Hill. I'd never met a person from Tunnel Hill that I'm aware. 🍺🍺🍷
