I hear it's pretty good actually, but the symbology is great, too bad the ****ing government had to get mixed up in it. :ols:
State health officials put the kibosh on a St. Paul bar's plan to eat a bear during Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Packers and Bears.
Late Friday, an official with the Minnesota Department of Health notified the owners of Tiffany's Sports Lounge — a gathering spot for Packers fans — that the 180-pound black bear could not be eaten by bar patrons because it was unprocessed.
"They said we couldn't even give it away, that it would have to go through a processing plant first," said Blake Montpetit, a co-owner of the Highland Park neighborhood bar.
Montpetit said his cousin shot the bear during Wisconsin's hunting season and that the meat was going to be given away for free because it's illegal for restaurants to sell wild game.
"We thought we were OK, but (the health official) said there wasn't anything he could do," Montpetit said. "And we certainly understand. He has a job to do."
