Calling all Creators and Curators!

After the implosion of the existing BRO community (AKA The Mancave), The Pub was created by myself and @dbooster to bring back the previous members who had been defrauded and kicked from the former community. Since then it has grown into something pretty cool. We have a lot of the same old faces hanging around in the Discord as well as some new ones. It might not be as lively as it was when it was first created, but we try to keep things entertaining. Sometimes people just like to sit and drink, nothing wrong with that!

On the flip side, we have The Pub community on the HIVE side of things. It's basically a catch all community where you can post about just about anything you like as long as you follow the guidelines of the community. They really aren't that hard to follow if you are a responsible member of the HIVE community anyway.

My hope was that over time we could get a lot of people posting some great content in there and eventually that would lead to some of the bigger curation accounts giving it a visit from time to time. I'm not asking for upvotes on every post (or my posts), just a couple bumps once in a while to some of the really good content in there.

To facilitate that, I started a prompt with @thepub account about a month ago. I had originally intended for it to be a weekly prompt sort of thing, but I quickly realized I would struggle to come up with enough prompts to get me through a year let alone further, so I changed my mind. It's more of a monthly prompt at this point, thought I wouldn't hold myself to that either. My best advice is to give @thepub account a follow and keep an eye out for when a new prompt pops up.

Right now, the current prompt is your favorite pub food

So here is my list. As you might have guessed, I am a big fan of fried fish. Most specifically perch and Great Lakes Whitefish though I do enjoy cod, pollack, salmon and a few other types of fish. There is just something really amazing when you visit one of the towns around Lake Superior and have some of the fresh whitefish that they haul in each day. It's pretty magical.

Likewise, there is something delectible about perch that has been freshly caught and fried. The fact that we have such big lakes so close to us in Michigan is a boon. It's like living on the ocean, the quality of fish is just phenomenal.

Usually, you have to be more worried about some noob in the kitchen cooking it wrong more than you have to worry about the quality of the fish. If I visit a pub and they have perch or whitefish on the menu, there is a good chance that is what I am going to get.

However, sometimes I'm just in the mood for a good burger. There is just something that hits really hard when you pair a good burger with a refreshing beer and a nice plate of fries or some onion rings.

I don't eat nearly as much beef as I used to when I was younger, but every now and then I just crave a good juicy hamburger. I've actually started to prefer them without bacon which I know sounds crazy, but a lot of times the bacon just slides off the burger after your first bite and it becomes pointless anyway.

Although pretty much every bar and pub has at least one burger on their menu, it is the truly great pubs that elevate that dish and turn it into something special. A burger is like a blank canvas that you can do pretty much anything you want with it. I remember a place I was at a couple years ago where they had a crab rangoon burger. The possibilities are endless!

Finally, if you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I love chicken wings. They can be fried, they can be smoked, I don't really care, but toss them in a dry rub or a sauce that is on point and they are nothing short of heaven on a plate. If you are a connoisseur of chicken wings, you most likely know the sauce or seasoning is what really makes or breaks a wing. Yes, there is a bit of finesse to getting the right cook, but it's the places that offer unique flavors that really elevate the wing to the next level.

Of course you should never sleep on the traditional flavors either. That Buffalo style born at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York is like a friendly reminder of why you fell in love with chicken wings in the first place. That delicious vinegary heat that lingers in your mouth and reminds you what it feels like to be alive. Pair it with a nice adult beverage and I can't think of anything more delightful.

So there you go, that's a rundown of my favorite pub food! I look forward to seeing everyone else's entries in The Pub Community! Check it out!

I am more the type when combining food and drinks, to have a glass of white wine and some jamon iberico or sort a like.
Place me at a terrace which people stroll by and I am a happy man :)

Is that the sort of thing they serve at pubs over there? I don't even know what that is you mentioned after wine. :)

Everything looks really good!
Every now and then you have to have a burger. Almost can't go wrong with a pub burger.

I wish I had visited the Anchor Bar in Buffalo when my son lived there. Then again, I imagine it is standing room only all the time. Good wings are hard to find anymore. I wish we had a good wing place around here.

Do like me a good burger though. One with all the fixens. And as I've said before, like me some fresh caught catfish.

I have heard that the Anchor Bar doesn't really have the best wings in Buffalo. It's the original though, so you have to kind of respect it for that. We have a few good places for wings, but any more I have been really happy with the ones I make at home on the Weber. I just need to perfect my technique.

I am going to try and cook more on the grill this year. That's if my health cooperates. I would like to try some cool stuff. Especially wings. Never done wings before.

It takes a little bit to get it down, but once you have it, they are pretty easy. You just gotta keep an eye on them. I ruined my first batch by overcooking them.

I have tried in the oven and can never seem to get the sauce right so that it sticks.

Ah yeah, I haven't really started playing with sauces yet. The good thing about the grill is you can crank it up to like 600 degrees which is where you need it to get the skin crispy without frying them.

We are hoping to make it into my favorite bar in our area this Saturday. Hopefully we will and I will make a post about it.
