Last night we went to Smoke Daddy to watch the Bears vs. Packers game with a bunch of Dallas’s friends. It was only like 50-some degrees outside, but we still sat on the patio with the TV facing outside and the window open so we could hear the audio. There were a few people with us who did not like the Bears, but no other person who was cheering for the Packers.
It was a fun night, despite the cold and the Packers’ loss. We all ordered food and beer and watched the game. A lot of people walking by on the street would stop and watch for a while. Years ago, I lived a few blocks from Smoke Daddy, before we knew Josh, the owner, and we used to go there sometimes. I don’t think I’ve eaten there since that time. Last night I got pulled chicken and beans and tried some of Dallas’s chili and cornbread. Everything was so delicious.
And the game? It was really close at the end but the Packers got so many penalties (18!) and that’s what killed them. The Bears ended up winning with 20 points to the Packers’ 17.
