Is Taco Mac a larger chain?  We had lunch at one, forgettable, except they have a lot of TVs.

https://tacomac.com/locations/

Looks to be almost all ATL based.  Forgettable.  Applebies with more TVs.  Sports bar.

I still have not made it to Crescent Bar that Badge recommended.

I grilled filets last night, they were good.  We had a bottle of Kirkland Stag's Leap Cab which needs a bit more time I think.  I bought a case the other day at Costco.

well obviously you feel better
Did you lose a spot in the rotation or sent to a farm team for rehab?

Heh, I am feeling pretty good, just some tightness and soreness in the joint.  I'm not supposed to do any curl type lifting.  I should get cleared for everything Oct. 7.  I went jogging once, I clearly lost a lot in two months.  I'm doing a lot of stretching for PT now, twice a week with the therapist.  I think I'll be soft tossing by mid-Oct and we'll see how it feels.  The wife is finally feeling better also, she had the full rotator cuff surgery which is tough.  She's still on the DL.

Red Robin is generally very good for fast-casual. One of my buddies oversees operations (exec VP) for 150 stores around the country.

I think I went to a Taco Mac one time to watch WVU play Wisconsin. It was in Douglasville, GA. I remember nothing about the place except when I asked somebody to turn a tv to the WVU game they gave me a weird look.  GT was playing somebody and that game was probably on 75% of the TVs in the place.

I had totally forgotten about that until you posted the name and it triggered that memory.

Her left shoulder, my right.  My kid from Texas came here for a week to help out, which was essential.  She fell a while back on a street and tore here supraspinatus tendon.  My injury is from 1971, a labrum tear called a SLAP.

Yeah, Taco Mac has TVs but mediocre bar food.  

When I was a kid, going to the Varsity was a treat.  They had four rooms each with a TV tuned to a different channel, it was revolutionary at the time.  Chick-Fil-A was a treat.  Just about any food anywhere else was a treat.  My junior year in HS I had lunch every day at McDonald's, same order.  My senior year I switched to Burger King, same order each day.  School food was ... um .... not good.

Not that they gave you an issue about it, but I hate when a single game is on a high % of TVs and they reluctantly turn ONE TV to something else.  It makes me feel like I'm on a hidden camera show.  

The more I have the "you can't be serious" feeling, the more I realize whoever it is, is, in fact, being serious.

Taco Mac at the time was one of the few places in the area with a good beer selection. 

Plus I have a trophy naming me "Georgia Premier Homebrewer 2007" from a homebrew contest they held.

Sure, there were only 6 entries, but I won.

Congrats.  They did have an enormous "beer" selection on tap.  Some were ciders and whatnot.

The wife counted over 50 TVs that we could see.

Taco Mac sounds like a tex-mex casserole dish with taco ingredients and macaroni.

Yeah, they gave me one small tv perched in a corner, which was fine.  But the look when I asked for the WVU game was along the lines of, “Are you sure?”

My buddy and I had a similar experience at a sports bar outside of Chicago about 20 years ago.
