• Eight best Super Bowl food and drink commercials

  I know everyone is making a list of favorite Super Bowl commercials this week, but being trained in the black arts of advertising I couldn't resist making my own. Culled from the dredges of YouTube and my memory, here are my eight best food and drink Super Bowl commercials of all time.Number 8: After losing the '96 election to Bill Clinton, Bob Dole showed he can shill product with the best of them. Here he is promoting his "little blue friend."

• Wrapping up some local news

  Some of this info is left from Pitch Forks (past and current) and some of it is new. Dave's Stagecoach kept its 3 a.m. license. The liquor control review of the license that was scheduled for last Monday was postponed indefinitely, and none of the three sides in the dispute -- City Hall, Dave's Stagecoach or Westport Presbyterian Church -- seem in a rush to do anything more on the subject. Best let sleeping dogs lie.In case you weren't aware, Dave's has a pyramid-like happy hour Monday through F

  Westside residents may already be familiar with this awesome sight, but it was only recently that we at The Pitch noticed it cruising down Southwest Boulevard. Jason Harper Looking straight out of a Robert Rodriguez movie, this mightily ornamented truck belongs to the owners of Los Alamos Market y Cocina at 17th and Summit, our 2007 Best Mom and Pop winners. We spotted it parked outside the well-stocked cafe and convenience store while picking up Mardi Gras supplies (tequila and a sixer of Bud

• Boulevard in aluminum: step forward or backward?

  Flickr: HerkieYesterday Boulevard Brewing Co. announced it was going to start selling Boulevard Wheat in aluminum cans very soon. It used to be rare for microbreweries such as Boulevard to venture into the world of aluminum. Similar-sized breweries such as Sierra Nevada and O'Dell's have yet to turn to aluminum. It was only last year that Colorado's New Belgium started canning its most popular seller Fat Tire.At the time, New Belgium said the reason for the cans was to be more versatile -- for t

• Breakfast Buffet: Friday the 13th!

  Sometimes you can't get that specialty beer and you go with a flavorless macro beer like Bud Light. No shame in that. Right? [JJs in KCK]Fact of life. When you are a server, many people will treat you like crap even if you are more educated than they are. [Ab's Blabs]Here's the St. Patrick's Day line-up for the oldest Irish deli in the country -- Browne's. It will be closed the day after St. Pat's, which is only fair.

  Beer before liquor: never been sickerLiquor before beer: you're in the clearEven though this theory has been debunked by so-called medical professionals, it remains a guide. Partially because it's an easy-to-remember rhyme and partially because of people's own experiences. After all, personal experience has trumped science in this arena before.Among these 15 common drinking myths, number eight is that coffee will sober you up. Science says that alcohol leaves your body at the same rate no matter

• Commercial tests taste limits

  ​We lost clever somewhere. Subtlety wasn't strapped in properly, either, and got left by the roadside. Innuendo comes and goes, but everybody is tired of its schtick. Respect gave up and humor got downsized -- it is a recession. That's the only way I can think to explain the latest advertisement for Bud Light Lime. Tied to the release of Bud Light Lime in aluminum cans, "Can Confessions" is a video series that Anheuser Busch hopes will go viral. The videos focuses on people who are either sham

  ​The good news for the world of beer drinkers is that new brews are always popping up on store shelves. The bad news is they might not be an improvement over what you're currently drinking. Anheuser-Busch recently rolled out two new additions to the family with Budweiser Select 55 and Bud Light Golden Wheat. Budweiser Select 55 was the only one of three potential 55-calorie brews test marketed this summer that was actually released. The reviews are all across the board (it was universally pann

• Your personality as a beer

  ​Just as dogs are hairy reflections of their owners, a new theory suggests that the beer you drink (or don't drink) may be a window into your personality.Advertising Age reports that Mindset Media, a market research firm that specializes in psychographics (the study of people's attitudes and behavior in relation to their purchasing decisions) interviewed more than 2,600 people in August and September in an attempt to learn what someone's choice of beer might say about them:For instance, people
