Break out your fatboy pants — it’s Restaurant Week!
Yes, we’re embarking upon Mobile’s second annual Restaurant Week, and I have to admit I’m more excited than Elvis Presley with a peanut butter and nanner sandwich, a pound of butter and a hot skillet. I like it when my civic duties for the week are as follows: Don’t throw trash out of my sunroof while driving; try to figure out why the City Council can’t do something as simple as electing a president; and eat at as many area restaurants as possible.
