Went to eat at Fogo de Chao (1337 Chestnut) the other day, and I gotta say it was the best $25 I have ever spent on lunch. Easily one of the best deals in town. They have an amazing salad bar, and evey kind of meat you can dream of. Filet, sausage, beef wrapped in bacon, you name it, they bring it by the table. According to Trivia Art, all the guys who serve the meat are also the guys who cook it. And they keep it coming until you are so full you flip a card to the color red because you can’t possibly eat another thing. I don’t do many restaurant reviews, but yo, you gots to check this place out.

Off the hook
Damn, getting these opening day Phillies tix ain’t easy. Won’t let me buy more than one online and the phone number won’t even go thru. Guess I’m gonna have to drive down there. This jawn could be sold out already.
Quick notes
-Bounty Bowl at O’Neals (3rd and South) tonight. $25 extra to anyone who can knock off the Young the Old and The Restless tonight.
–Quizzo for the Cause this week. Was gonna do it last week, but we had low turnouts due to the weather. So $1 to play, with all proceeds going toward my Little League.
–Phillies tickets go on sale manana. Anybody up for opening day? That’s Monday, April 2 at 1:00 P.M. Holla at me if you’re up for it.
-I’ve got a bunch of free movie passes to see an upcoming release called Starter for 10. Let me know at quizzo if you wanna see it and I’ll hook you up with passes.
Barristers Bracket Challenge!!!
Gonna be a great bracket challenge on the website once the NCAA tourney starts. Barristers Bar and Grille (1823 Sansom) is gonna be offering up $250 in gift certificates to the winner of the bracket challenge, and you fill out your brackets right here at johnnygoodtimes.com starting Monday, March 12. So start studying up on your college b-ball. Or better yet, don’t. Because the person that wins these things is always “Denise from accounting” who just loves Valparaiso’s uniforms. And what is so frustrating is that she wins over good people like you, a person has been studying perimeter defense weaknesses in all of the Patriot League teams for months, and is finally gonna win the bracket challenge this year, you just know it.
Barristers is promoting the fact that it is going to have the NCAA Tourney ticket, so you will be able to see any game you choose in there, and they’re gonna have lots of specials as well. I’ll have a lot more details as we get closer to the day.
