ok - here's the scoop. My wife and I love to play buzztime trivia (www.buzztime.com). You may have seen them in your local bar or restaurant. It's those little blue boxes that allow one to answer trivia questions shown on various t.v. screens. Questions pop up and folk have a few moments to answer the question. There are five answers given and one must guess, er know, the correct answer. Three clues are given - usually negative ones saying it's not xxx - time lapses and then the right answer is revealed.
One can either play in cooperation with others in the establishment or by themselves. At the end of each game, usually 30 minutes, scores are then transmitted to a central location and everyone across the country gets to see the top bar scores (the top 5 scores of a bar averaged together) and the top individual scores.
Anyway - my wife and I went to a new place tonight, Jaspers (http://www.jaspersrestaurants.com/Home/index.cfm) restaurant in Crofton, MD. At first is was rather cold, the music was too loud (actually the television), and we were cold and hungry. Our waitress, Katie, was rather patient with us, got us to a different table nearer the bar and left us to our devices. The food turned out quite good, my wife had a cheese steak sub and I had the barbecued cheddar wrapped chicken breast. The cheese steak was juicy with lotsa cheese. The chicken breast sandwhich was ok. Jasper's barbeque sauce is the runny kind, not the thicker one this Kansas bred boy was weaned on. (Never thought I'd claim to be Kansas bred). For desert I had the apple cobbler ala mode which was magnificient. Warm apples, crisp crust swimming in thick caramel sauce with pecans and two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
If it wasn't for the service provided by Katie, it would have been a dreary experience. All in all, I will give Jasper's a 7 out of 10.
