OK FOGEYS. It’s voting time.<\/strong>

FOG IX Organizer Jim Millington: Is it any wonder Bruce and Grayce mistake him for their son-in-law?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have prepared a list of widely disparate restaurants as worthy candidates for FOG IX in July. In an exercise of Democracy not controlled by special interest groups, you have the opportunity to vote for the restaurant in which you’d like to dine with the Friends of Gil. This being New Mexico, we ask that farm animals and dead relatives not vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Piatanzi on Juan Tabo has a back room for groups. The food is unique in Albuquerque and wonderful if you like it and not wonderful if you don’t. A disadvantage is that it can get expensive if you aren’t paying attention. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Nexus is a Brewpub which is probably better noted for its New Mexicanized (my own made up word) Cajun food than beer (nothing wrong with the beer). <\/span><\/p>\n

3. El Patron is a very popular New Mexican restaurant with plenty of room and barrel-sized margaritas.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Vick\u2019s Vittles is something of a Country Texas\/New Mexican cafe with such goodies as healthy high nutrition Chicken Fried Steak, Broasted Chicken and Burritos.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can exercise your voting rights by responding to this post by midnight, June 30. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
