text: Damn it nnI like this place do not get me wrong I just feel a little out of place From what I understand they only recently started serving foodnnThe food I got kind of sucked It is just that whenever I hear a server say pork burrito I just cannot friggin resist So when our tattooed pierced server told us of such a special I had to do it In retrospect I should have gotten the sandwich that had a fried egg on it and bacon nnThe vibe is great one of the oldest bars in Madison They have clearly expanded their space branching out to all of the small rooms adjacent to the bar adding pool tables and kitschy couches lamps etc nnTheyve also opened up a nice little patio Even if it is clouded thickly with cigarette smoke It was here where I had the sexy fries and the pork burrito I should have known better Maybe it is because I am such a taqueria snob but the flavors really were not layered I later thought of it as more of a pork stew burrito BlechnnWhats the deal with smoking anyway Is it cool again There is something cathartic I guess about sitting down drinking a few beers with your cigarettes placed within reach Oral fixation plus a coolness factor that cannot be denied Something to do with your hands and mouth that make you look complicated without having to say a damn thingnnWell all it does for me is sting my eyes and make my pork stew burrito tastemarginally betternnAfter a couple glasses of beer I listened intently as all the smokers compared the shapes of their noses and told Michael Jackson jokes you know the ones that refer to him as a pedophilennWhatever I would go back but only if I had a full pack of pfunks and a bohemian sheik goddess bride adorned with tattoos and nose rings nnSuch is the near East side of Madison or so I have been told Where the old hippies and the new hipsters hang out to see and be seen To smoke to eat sexy fries and egg sandwiches and tell bad jokes Really bad jokes
