Friday Open Thread

Good morning Pragmatic Obots.

The Black celebrity-owned restaurant series concluded today with Mr. B.B. King’s Blues Club and Grill.

 Named after the legendary musician who holds court there, B.B. Kings is a Blues club that also offers an impressive off-the-grill menu. Hard to beat when it comes to authenticity, B.B. Kings serves as a regular host of live Blues performances at all of the club’s several locations in different cities.

The proprietor’s entrepreneurial streak can be glimpsed in the array of promotional merchandise that is offered at the club’s gift store, while his commitment to providing the best service possible is evident in the consistently high reviews garnered by the clubs.

Lucille’s Grill, named “Best Great Bar That You’d Never Suspect Was a Great Bar” by the New York Press, where local acts from the New York music scene jam away with no cover price every night of the week. The mahogany framed, bi-level bar & grill offers a unique atmosphere, complete with signature saxophone beer taps, colorful contemporary art and iconic photography of all the legendary blues masters.

    I posted at Bluesky about how everyone made fun of Michael Dukakis riding the tank but no one is batting a eye over The Great Bone Spur Parade of 2025.
