KNOW YOUR NOLES: DINNERITME IN TALLAHASSEE (81 DAYS)

No idea for the pic this week, so here's former FSU grad Burt Reynolds and his pet bear.... No wait, here you go:

Presenting the FSU "Outside" helmet. A fully padded helmet for the special lil' FSU fan in your family when traveling outside the safeties of your home. Warranty only covers injuries sustained while walking.

Hi kitties, it’s your Seminole buddy, NoleCC again. Did you enjoy the origami lesson on my site last week? I hope so. That’s the official DFIG logo at ScalpEm.com, fyi! And don’t forget, if you’d like to see footage of Willy Mac (Or just some rancom Clemson fan) shotgunning a beer, head to my site.... (Or just check out my article here. - Willy Mac)

As part of our ongoing series with DFIG, here’s the key to game weekend dining in the Capital City.

Restaurant: The 4th Quarter Bar & Grill. – The 4th Quarter is a dive with fairly cheap food and drinks, and it is my favorite hang out in town. The only downside to it is that the local Gators migrate in there a little too often, but it’s a good place to watch other games in peace. And the drinks are pretty cheap on top of that.

Dish: Cardiac Basket (Cheddar Bacon Fries with Ranch Dressing on the side). If that doesn’t clog an artery, I don’t know what will. For dinner, get a Patty Melt, but make sure you ask the waitress to “Hold the Patty and Hold the Melt” after you’ve had a Maudite. Really, they LOVE that, I swear.

Booze: Yes

Open Sundays: Yes

Restaurant: Famous Dave’s BBQ – Okay, it’s a chain, but it basically put Smokey Bones out of business, and it has sauce called DEVIL’S SPIT. How can you beat something called Devil’s Spit?

Dish: From what I can tell, anything. I’m not the biggest Q fan, so I order burgers there generally, but EVERYTHING looks good, and numerous friends of mine have said it’s good. The only thing you might want to stay away from are the fried apples, since they aren’t mushy enough for me.

Booze: Yes

Open Sundays: Yes

Restaurant: Harry’s – It’s downtown at Kleman Plaza and everything is Creole / New Orleans style. It’s more upscale, but on a game weekend you’re fine in your Clemson polo and khaki’s (relatively anyway, it’s orange for crying out loud).

Dish: Check out the specials and go with whatever fish you desire.

Booze: Yes

Open Sundays: Yes

Restaurant: Momo’s Pizza – If you want something simple like pizza, but not necessarily cheap, head to Momo’s.

Dish: Pizza, DUH. Momo’s has slices the size of your head, and it’s the best pizza in town if you like something that is New York Style. You have anything from regular toppings to stuff like Bradley’s Country Sausage, a very good white pizza, or a Pesto style pizza. If you head to the Momo’s on the North side of town, you can get appetizers too, make sure you get some cheesy bread.

Booze: Yes

Open Sundays: Yes
