Congratulations To The Winners of the Pork Slope Boars' Head Contest!

All last week, we ran a lil' contest with the Pork Slope dudes where we asked you, FiPS readers, to come up with the cleverest names possible for two boars heads that'll be hanging up in the soon-to-be-open bar. The Pork Slope dudes have picked their two favorites, and those lucky FiPS readers (& a guest!) will be in attendance at this Wednesday's pre-opening party.

We got a ton of great responses. My personal faves were the pair of "i used to fuck guys like you in prison" and "rick" but I wasn't choosing, so the boars will, from this point on, go by the two winning names:

[REMINDER]: Name Some Boars! Go to a Pork Slope Party!

Screengrab via Charging Interests

G'day, ladies & germs! Are you PUMPED! I'm pumped. Patrick Swayze's birthday is less than ten days away, which can only mean one thing…PORK SLOPE IS ALMOST A REALITY. In less time than it takes to finish a seven-game NBA series, you'll be able to experience the throat-ripping, piggy awesomeness that has been promised within Pork Slope's doors.

You don’t want to wait that long though, do you? You're an impatient motherfucker, aren’t you? I hear you. If it takes me more than three minutes to fully masturbate or get a fish taco at the Brooklyn Flea, I friggin' lose it. Calm down, citizen. FiPS has your back.

[Win This]: An Invite to Pork Slope's August 15th Pre-Opening Party

FiPS readers! The time has finally come to squeeze into your best pair of tight jeans & lace up your ass-kicking boots. Come August 18th on the late, great Patrick Swayze's birthday, Pork Slope, the ridiculously-named bar, partially inspired by the 1989 film Road House, will finally open its doors for business (hopefully you've been preparing by growing out a sweet-ass mullet over the past few months).

As mentioned when we first broke the news back on April Fools Day, Pork Slope is the newest venture from Dale Talde, David Massoni and John Bush, AKA the Talde crew. A casual bar designed in the spirit of bars that they'd want to hang out in, it will include pitchers of beer, a pool table & a decidedly pork-laden menu of bar food.

Since we love you guys and want you to be as cool as humanly possible, we've put together a lil' contest that will grant TWO lucky FiPS readers a ticket (and one for a guest!) into Pork Slope's August 15th pre-opening party. If you recall from our initial announcement about the place, they're planning on making said party a raucous event wherein at least one person will head off into the night in a squad car. After all, that's how Swayze would’ve wanted it.

Talde Is Now Serving Brunch, Btchz!

At long last the wait is over! (and I don't mean the wait for a table). As of this weekend, Talde is officially serving brunch!

Hours are from 11am to 3pm, and they don't take reservations unless you have a party of 6 people or more. 

As with the dinner menu, there is some fly ass shit on there. i.e. I'd like some sausage, egg and cheese fried rice in my mouth RIGHT NOW. 

Also of note: Korean fried chicken and waffles! Tater tots! And a big OR little Bloody Mary...you know, for the kiddos (t-o-t-a-l-l-y kidding, ppl. Not about the little Bloody Marys, but about your bebes drinking them). 

Anyway, see all your asses on line this weekend. 

Talde's Menu Has Arrived (and they'll be opening this Sunday)

Word has come from the Talde folks that they will be soft opening THIS Sunday! And, BOOM: their final menu is above.

As you can see, there's gonna be some good shit to be eaten there. Most importantly, our long expressed dreams for Korean fried chicken in the nabe are f-i-n-a-l-l-y coming true.
