Friend of the Devil?

No, not really!  But this weeks menu is tied directly into the Bull City.  The recipe this week is some Bleu Deviled Eggs infusing a traditional deviled egg with bacon and bleu cheese to make them even more savory.  The drink this week is a tobacco whiskey sour that is light, refreshing, and pays tribute to the tobacco history of Durham. Perfect to enjoy while the Hokies take on the Blue Devils this Saturday night!

Hokie

I am a 5th Generation Hokie. I have Orange and Maroon blood coursing through my veins. I was lucky enough to attend VT from 1999-2003 and graduated with a history degree. I became a history teacher and football coach working my way to spending multiple seasons as Head Coach at schools in North Carolina and Colorado.


I now live in Colorado, with my wife and son and do what I can to follow the Hokies from afar. The outstanding team here at Sons of Saturday was gracious enough to let me talk some football and be able to impart some my knowledge gained from years spent on the sideline.


Aside from following the Hokies in all sports, I am a fan of the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Braves, and Carolina Hurricanes. I also try to play a lot of golf and enjoy skiing out here in the rockies!
