Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Tavern On Prospect with special guest stars, Frank, Erin, Brandon, Jeff and Jessica.
Now please welcome, all the way from Junction City Shopping Center, Tavern On Prospect!
So I started out thinking that I’d have dinner at Paparazzi. But when I got there it was packed with people and I was told that they weren’t accepting any other people for dinner that night.
So I was disappointed about that, but I decided to move on down the road and I drove down Prospect Road to Vero Italiano Restaurant in Junction City which I’ve been meaning to try out.
But when I got there, I found this sign on their door saying that they were closed for the night.
What the fuck?
I wasn’t going to get back in the car again, so I went a few doors down to the Tavern On Prospect to see what kind of food they had to offer.
I went inside and there were plenty of places at the bar to sit, so I plopped myself down…
And Frank was doing bartender duty behind the bar and served me up a drink with a friendly smile.
While they don’t have a kitchen staff, Frank did offer up a food item for me to eat, so I took him up on it. Stay tuned for what I had for this week’s Saturday night dinner!
While the dinner is being prepared I took some photos in here.
I love the mirror behind the well-stocked bar and there’s a lounge area up in the front of the bar with a comfortable sofa and a state of the art dart board.
As I was taking photos, this table said hi to me and told me that they were readers of the MBIP blog, which I always love to hear!
We had a nice conversation about what a horrible two years we’ve all been through and let me introduce you to the table, they are from left to right: Erin, Brandon, Jeff and Jessica.
It was great to meet all of them and nice to converse with them while my Saturday night dinner was being made.
There’s gaming machines in the back of the bar for all of you gamblers out there!
They have nine craft beers on tap behind the bar.
Meanwhile, back at my place at the bar, it looks like dinner is about to be served…
And here’s Frank serving up this long-awaited Saturday night dinner…
It’s a Butch’s Sausage Pizza! It’s a classic and it’s also a good excuse to plug our Midwest Slice Of Life YouTube Pizza series. Our first episode was a review of Butch’s Pizza and you can watch it by clicking right here!
I applied some hot sauce to the pizza and it was delicious! Butch’s pizza always tastes so great in a bar and this was no exception to that rule!
