Put this on your menu & it will automatically become one of your most popular items

Many of our night life clients provide a variety of menu options for their customers. However, studies show that no matter what they offer- there is one item that continues to be a staple in the eyes of every hungry American.

Calling it the "Holy Grail" for restaurants this publication provides some additional insight on just why Pizza is a really big deal.
  • One in eight Americans consume pizza each day.
  • Americans spend an estimated $37 billion each year on pizza. ( #ermagod )
  • The U.S. accounts for one third of global pizza consumption. 
  • Twenty-five percent of American males between the age of six and 19 eat pizza each day.
  • One out of six males between the ages of two and 39 will eat pizza for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner today.
  • Adults usually eat pizza for dinner. Children eat pizza for lunch and dinner just as often.
  • Per capita consumption of cheese is up 41% since 1995 due to America's love for pizza.

SoCal Selections:


 Spinach and Chicken Flat bread.  - If your looking for more of a pizza "pizza" try the Italian flat bread on the menu!






You may have to scan a different menu than usual, but its there. Check the kids section and choose either half or a full sized. Hey, sometimes you have to go back to your childhood.


Check out our other participating vendors here and let us know what your favorite items on the menu are- no, they don't have to be pizza related- however, according to the survey some of you won't be able to resist.

Bands you might be surprised who are still touring in 2014

Our advice- you might want to break down and finally buy a ticket this year…it really could be your last chance. 

Rolling Stones: Ok for this one you may need to also pick up a passport. Right now it looks like they are overseas…if you catch them though you will be able to catch most of the original cast. Well-known names Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are still rocking out and even though he wasn’t an original member, drummer Charley Watts joined the band early enough in the game that he is often considered an original himself.

ZZ Top: They're even making  new music! Check out their latest release….only a year old in 2013 “I Gotsta Get Paid”

KISSWITH  Def Leppard – we know it’s almost too good to be true. And…Since the majority of our readers and patrons are from the triangle… here you go- a direct link to get your tickets:







Chicago: They even have their own sound cloud on their blog to brush up on their songs before the big night:

#bestlongsongs for your work out, road trip or listening pleasure

We would have to guess- January and the summer are the two times a year when the gym is the most packed. January is catching people post News Year’s resolutions and summer holds more than enough wedding guest or dress attire and bikinis than we can count.  

With summer and wedding season in full swing- we wanted to provide a list of the some of the longest songs for your bridal or bikini body workouts. These tunes will last as long as you do…maybe longer. *Spoiler Alert*  Free Bird is NOT on the list. We had to dig deeper than that…

In no particular order:
·        Purple Rain-Prince And The Revolution (8m42s)
·        Station To Station-David Bowie (10m14s)
·        Too Long-Daft Punk, ' (10m00s)
·        Come Back-FooFighters (8m)
·        Estranged – "Guns N Roses 10m
·        Stairway to heaven-Led Zeppelin (8m)
·        Machine Gun-Jimi Hendrix, 12:36
·        Starless-King Crimson, 12:16
·        Echoes-Pink Floyd, 23:31
·        Achilles Last Stand-Led Zeppelin, 10:25
·        Voodoo Chile-Jimi Hendrix, 14:59

Check out #bestlongsongs on twitter for the complete list of songs and input from other people who are looking to to do everything from work out longer, rock out longer or taking a long road trip!

Pre-Wedding Playlist: Songs to get you ready for the big day!

The appropriate way to rock out in a wedding dress
The reception  isn't the only place for music in your big day! Get ready right with this suggested mix from the knot.com.

 A SoCal Suggestion: mix in your own personal songs that mean something to you and the bride. Maybe there's a song you both love to dance to that is totally un-wedding related and awesome. Do you karaoke to the spice girls- invite them to the party and play wanna be at random. Do the bride and groom have their own song- add it to the bag... you get the idea .
