We consulted the focus groups and it’s hard to believe it, but people want another podcast!\u00a0 \u00a0Actually, that’s not true.\u00a0 Nobody asked for a new show.\u00a0 Especially a show about dining in Tazewell County.<\/p>\n

If finding a place to grab a bite from a small, locally owned business in Tazewell County Illinois is your thing…\u00a0 You are in luck.\u00a0 Groucho has you covered with this latest audio project.\u00a0 The goal will be to visit 20 local restaurants in this downstate county holdings it own between Peoria and Blo-No.<\/p>\n

Today’s episode is an introduction that I hope gives you a feel for what the purpose and scope of the show will be.\u00a0 Kudo’s to “friend of the show” Kevin for suggesting the name, “Burgers and Beer”.\u00a0 How about The Beer Report – Burgers and Beer Podcast?\u00a0 Same folks…\u00a0 New subject with a goal of showing off some local cuisine and entrepreneurs?<\/p>\n

Tonight, Groucho and Kevin did a dry run at the Black Top Tavern near Manito Illinois.\u00a0 We had a great experience and fleshed out some ideas.\u00a0 Let’s go after those “house” burgers.\u00a0 If you can name your burger after your business, then it better stand as one of the best items on your menu.\u00a0 Also…\u00a0 You have to make your food.\u00a0 We arent stopping by and admiring the atmosphere if you only have Butch’s pizza and a rack of chips on the wall.\u00a0 Sorry, that’s not gonna cut it.\u00a0 Same for the great little family restaurants that make a crowd pleasing tenderloin, but do not have beer on the menu.\u00a0 Again, sorry.\u00a0 You are not qualifying for a visit.\u00a0 We want local, fresh-made food, served with a cold beer.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be a craft beer (It would be nice and you get extra credit!), it just needs to be cold!<\/p>\n

Join us for the adventure and please…\u00a0 send along any recommendations beyond the ones listed in this episode.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for listening!<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n

PS…\u00a0 We are going back to Blacktop for a formal show in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
