Boo-dan is HERE!

| 0 Comments
Boudin (boo-dan) Balls will be making their debut here tonight (Tuesday, 4/21) around 5pm.  What are Boudin Balls?  Well, it's boudin, rolled into balls, duh.  No, really, it is primitive hog love that will make your belly smile.  Part smoked pork, part carolina gold rice, part crazy amount of labor by Dan Huntley and his crew, Boudin Balls are sure to be your new favorite CY appetizer.  

Smoke-free By Choice

It was not an April Fool's joke when The Coal Yard Restaurant and Lounge went smoke-free Wednesday.  Smoking is permitted on the deck.  I still maintain that it is wrong for any government to force businesses to ban smoking and I will make sure the city council gets a fight if they ever decide to pursue a smoking ban that interferes with private property rights.
