HEALTH Rock Cafe

Oh happy day! We can eat at the most wonderful restaurant in all of Guilford County once again! As it happens, Bear Rock Cafe at Friendly Center crammed for its mid-term and pulled an "A" in a re-test last week. Oh what a sparkling oasis of health it must be! I hope they will let us eat off the floor, cause that's what a quick turnaround "A" makes us want to do. Like they say, the safest time to fly is right after a plane explodes.

Taylor Hicks best expresses our feelings about restaurants that pull out the bleach and clean up after receiving a public health downgrade:


From last week's Restaurant Report Card:

An inspector re-checked Bear Rock Cafe on Friendly Center Road in Greensboro. It has its "A" back with a score of 95.5

Well Done Bear Rock:

WE GIVE YOU A SOUL PATROL SALUTE!

WWKCT- What Would Katie Couric Think?

Ok, if you haven't seen the American Cancer Society's latest commercial for colon cancer awareness, turn on your TV and don't leave until you see it.

Our protagonist, Robert, sits in a diner with a couple of friends from the local chapter of AARP.

"How's a test gonna prevent colon cancer?" asks his waitress.

"I'll show you," answers our hero.

Robert draws a "colon" in his mashed potatoes.

"So they take a look at your colon,"

"and if they find a polyp," Robert stabs the lima bean "polyp" with his fork...

"they get it out before it turns into cancer!"

Then he eats it. The little lima bean polyp. We even get a "No you di-in't" from the friend who's drinking iced tea. The American Cancer Society has infected me with their very first attempt at viral marketing. You can see the whole stupid thing here. Robert even has a Myspace page. I think I'm gonna put him in my top 8- move over Cedric! I'm still mad at Robert for eating his own fake polyp, but I'm also kind of proud of him. Yes, Katie would approve.
