Restaurant Review: The Happy Pig - 200 S Alcaniz St, Pensacola, FL 32502

The Happy Pig made me very ANGRY!!! We were traveling through Pensacola and got a craving for BBQ. We did a quick google search and saw that this restaurant had a very high rating. I will be very amazed if this review makes it online because it seems as though this restaurant uses some type of a scrubber company to delete bad ratings from their reviews. The first red flag came to me when we rolled up on this establishment in a posh neighborhood setting. No great BBQ establishment in the history of the world has ever had this scenario. The second red flag was the lack of BBQ smell both outside and INSIDE the restaurant. At this point, I pointed out to my wife that this might not be a good idea. But, we were hungry they had a 4.7/5.0 rating, so we decided to continue. The third red flag wasn't that big of a deal... the diet coke that I ordered wasn't any good, so I switched it with a tea (no biggie). However, the fourth red flag was absolutely unacceptable for any restaurant, BBQ or not. I ordered a 2-meat combo platter for $16.99 and chose ribs and ham as my two items. With that order, you'd expect at least one of two things: 1) Large Portions, or 2) amazingly delicious smaller quantities (or maybe both). We got neither. The rib (not ribs, BTW) was room temperature and the ham was cold. COLD. Oh, and let me tell you a little more about the ham. When you order a $16.99, 2-meat BBQ combo plate from a 4.7-starred restaurant, you'd expect your ham to be pretty amazing, correct? I imagined nothing less than something you'd get from Heavenly Ham, or at the VERY least a well prepared ham steak. Do you know what I got?! I got three rectangle pieces of sandwich meat. Let me repeat that. I WAS GIVEN, AS MY PORTION OF HIGH-QUALITY MEAT, FROM THIS 4.7-STARRED ESTABLISHMENT, LOW-GRADE SANDWICH SLICES OF HAM. And they didn't even step up to the High-quality ham slices. It was that government-issue grade ham that you save 60% on at Walmart because no one else is stupid enough to purchase it. Yeah, that crap! This place should not have been opened if they were going to serve the type of food they served. And if this is their standard, then they should be shut down immediately. And if the citizens of Pensacola think that this is delicious BBQ, they all need to have their heads checked. WORST. BBQ. EVER!!!

The "Man Stuff" Club

You know what would be an awesome organization for men, young and old?  An organization that puts the proverbial hair back on the waxed chest of today's effeminate man.

We need a "Man Stuff" Club!  Blame it on what you will, but it is obvious that the traditional roles that men play in the world have greatly changed over the past few decades.  We are no longer the hunter and gatherer types... we are cubicle junkies, paper pushers, and stay-at-home dads.  Many of us, including myself, didn't grow up with a dominant male figure in our lives.  As a result, we have to call an electrician to come over every time we need a light bulb changed.  This is ridiculous!

Men need to do manly stuff like chop down a bunch of trees and build a cottage.  Men need to learn to hunt an animal, skin it, and cook it for their families.  Men need to know how to fix things around the house, how to rebuild a car engine, and how to keep their lawns in shape.  Men need to start being manly, again.
