The phrase "all you can eat" doesn't get paired nearly enough with "barbecue." If it did, you'd have a lot more co-workers calling in because they came down with cases of the meat sweats. Here's your chance to call in, folks. Join the local barbecue artisans (because that's what they are, meat artists) from One90 to celebrate the restaurant's debut on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Enjoy all the One90 barbecue your homeostasis can handle for $20 as you watch Guy Fieri do his thing (whatever that is). Oak Highlands Brewery's beers will be available for purchase.

"How do you spell inebriated?"
"I-N-E-B-R-I-A-T-E-D."
"Very good, contestant, but how do you spell inebriated when you fit the definition?"
"I-I-K-N-E-E ..."
See how well your spelling holds up at Tanstaafl Pub's Drunk Spelling Bee. A $5 entry fee gets a contestant a shot of what the pub calls "spellin' juice."
