Heroes and Legends


I remember when Jamie and I first thought about doing this site.  It all kinda started off as a joke, but it bloomed into something.  Now we are doing it every two weeks and are having fun with it. This was the second episode we have done during our first season.  We went to a place called Heroes and Legends.  It is a sports bar of all places, with peanut shells on the floor and multiple TV screens on the walls.  Now I have been here before and most of the food is pretty good.  The southwestern meatloaf is rather good and their nachos are absolutely huge!  The drinks come in huge mugs and the service is rather good in keeping them filled.  There are somethings you would want to avoid.  You ask for a medium rare burger and it comes well done.  They come with a rather lame excuse as to why.  And I would stay away from their artichoke.  It looks freaking fantastic but utterly fails in taste.

Service: 3 out of 5.  Service is good while you order something and fall off when they bring out the last thing you orders.
Price: 3 out 5.  You get what you pay for.
Atmosphere: 4 out of 5.  If you are looking for a cool place to hang and have a beer, this place will do.
Food: 3 out of 5.  It is good but not great.

The Congregation Ale House




My good friend +Jim Sandoval  and I had a marvelous time this day.  I went to Long Beach where Jim lived and we went to the Congregation Ale House.  Now Jim had ordered three IPAs, or India Pale Ales to try.  Now unfortunately I cannot have anything to drink due to medical reasons.

Jim chose the following
  • Eagle Rock Populist, an American IPA
  • Alagash Hugh Malone, a Belgium IPA
  • Moylens Hopsickle, an American Imperial IPA
We had a variety of different sausages to go with it, including a Hot Atomic and the sausage platter containing a beer steamed bratwurst and (my favorite) the duck & bacon sausage.  We got all of this and the Belgian cut fries that came with two dipping sauces: the siracaha ketchup and the rosemary garlic mayo.

The food was good.  If I am to go back in the future, I an going to have the duck & bacon sausage again.  It was so earthy with the herbs that were mixed in with it.
