Results of the first poll question

Hey guys, it's Tim!!!

I can't begin to thank all of you who voted on the inaugural poll question and the choice was clear from the beginning. So my first 'official' blog posting will be a post about the man behind the food...Chuck himself.

Chuck received 50% of the vote so now it's my turn to sit down with the man who cooks up all these delicious dishes and uncover what it is about cooking that excites him and so much more!!! Chuck is obviously a busy individual so this posting will come hopefully sometime soon!!!

Again thank you guys so much for voting and always check back for new postings and of course new poll questions as well!!!

Chucks and The Voodoo Lounge do trivia night right

Hello readers,

Let me start off by asking all of you a question. When's the last time you went out on a Tuesday night and it felt like a Friday or Saturday night? Most of you right now are probably thinking I never go out on Tuesday nights because it's so early in my week or I have to get up for work early the next morning! While that may be true it shouldn't stop you from missing out on Whaddayaknow? Free Pub Trivia happening every Tuesday Night at 7:30 PM in The Voodoo Lounge at Chuck's!!!

Mike Wilson who hosts the event has his own goal in mind when it comes to trivia and is just trying to get people to look at it differently then they did in the past. "It's a nice thing to do during the week. Sometimes you need an excuse to go out, grab some friends and just have fun," says Mike. Let me tell you something guys, Mike couldn't be more right! Not to mention, throw in some of Chuck's delicious food and washing it down with a cold beer of choice (over 120 to choose from) you have a pretty solid combination, don't you think?

"It's not fun when you know every answer, you want the answers to the questions to bug you but in a good way," says Mike. The questions that he had for the participating teams tonight at the Voodoo Lounge were definitely those that left many thinking out loud to themselves, scratching their heads and invoking a friendly atmosphere of team competition as well.

But clearly, there were two teams tonight that stood above all others. Coming in second place was 'Peeps' who finished with a strong 118 points and are determined to come back next week to claim the top spot which has evaded them for two consecutive weeks!

  'Peeps' shown above are more determined then ever to capture the top spot!

 However, in trivia there can only be one champion and tonight's champion was 'Fig Gems' who took home first place with a rather impressive score of 128 points! Our champions, pictured below, were asked for a quote to sum up their victory but couldn't conjure the words together to summarize their triumph, but congratulations go out to them!

'Fig Gems' wouldn't be denied in their quest for trivia perfection!

The point of trivia night is this my friends, to simply put aside the start of your week for some great entertainment, challenging questions and to enjoy some delicious food and beverages with your closest friends or family members and to just have fun! We all need that escape once in a while, and it's just not fair to have to wait until Friday or the weekend to get away from our daily routine!

Chucks and The Voodoo Lounge are hosting 'Whaddayaknow? Free Pub Trivia every Tuesday Night at 7:30PM and like I said before it's FREE!!! The top two teams each and every Tuesday win prizes as well. So please, the next time you and your friends are looking for a fun night out stop into The Voodoo Lounge on Tuesday's for trivia and some downright good food!

Tim
