Henry Hudson would be ashamed

We went back to Hudsons because it was finally time to use the food coupon we received the first time we were there. Hooray! It may be the last time we go there even though we still have another $20 off coupon.

Tuesday is East Coast night which means $4 Keiths (a miserable IPA) and 25 cent butterfly shrimp. We order 2 Keiths and 20 shrimp and put in an order for Cesar salad and a buffalo/cheddar/bacon burger.

The good: The butterfly shrimp are great. Crispy batter and the spicy chili dipping sauce is a good choice. Also, $4 for a bottle of Keiths is not a bad deal--even if it's a bad IPA. Normally I hate drinking IPAs because of the hoppy taste. But there is barely any in Keiths, so good beer for me, terrible beer for IPA lovers.

The bad: Everything else.

It took a long time for our non-shrimp food to show up. Hudsons was full but not crazy busy so I'm not sure why the delay. Perhaps they're still working out the kinks in the system? Daorcey's salad was meh but he had little choice on the menu (it was either that, nachos or fish and chips). My burger? Remember how excited I was in the previous post that they had buffalo burgers in addition to the beef? My buffalo burger patty was as tasteless as making Hitler jokes while visiting Aushwitz. There was no flavour in the patty and the bacon was so-so. How can a restaurant mess up bacon?

We're probably not going back, unless it's for $20 worth of butterfly shrimp on Tuesday.
