The 75th BNO Stop!
The 75th was a grand time. We had the back room at Johnny Del Monico’s. Lana (Beautiful Manager there), assisted us and #24 guys made it to the year end big party! Incredible service, lots of TLC. Johnny’s obtained a score of #8.95! They moved into 4th place edging out their neighbor across the street The Merchant!!!! Thank you Ron for taking the pictures and thank all of you for making the effort to support such a great hobby (Hamburgers)!
I made a stop at the bank that night and had a cashiers check made out to Second Harvest Food Bank. We made a donation of $178.00 dollars! You can see the attachment of the check! We now need to set the bar higher and see if we can go beyond that mark for this year! Goals fellas GOALS~
There were Posters, a recap of scorings, BNO Dan Roehre was there, No Doug Moe, but lot’s of fun and a little too many expensive hard liquor drinks. *Watch that guys, ya might need to pour in some extra bling next time!
ALSO/Bonus is the BNO T-Shirt, and I will need to get sizes. The cost will be $25.00 per shirt.
Final score of #8.95
Tanner’s
Happy New Year and Happy Burgers and Beers!

Will Doug Moe make our #75th? Can Dan Roehre come out of retirement along with Mark Consigny? (That’s pronounced come see me.) Speaking of which, chime in for the 75th if you have not already done so. The sooner I get a head count the better!
Overall an 8.265 score.

Tale of the Buns
June 13th found us at the Blackhawk country club where thirteen guys brought in a RARE treat. Chef Todd and servers Lara and Vladimir allowed spoiled us rotten! Our Dan Dieter connection generated more clout than just a mere Burger Club, we were royalty! We even had special labels and the marque announced us as we came in the place! The BCC rocked IT!
Overall an 8.710 score.
One week later, we visited Monkeyshines were a legend (Don Gill) made a living hustling pool and taking money from any dog owners in Nakoma! The Dog Mafia I think. Chef John and server Laura made a huge hit with us notching visitation number #68. Wow!
Now the BNO men are bucking to have two places a month! I swear a little extra beef in their diets and good beer and they turn into raving BNO A- holics!
Next month is July 18th @ The Argus. BNO Men are clamoring for a Memorial Union Terrace run.

BNO Bob went to Palo Alto, CA to the Dutch Goose in Menlo Park for his burger for spring break. Meanwhile back in Mad Town, 10 brave men wandered into Fielers for a March 28th rating of 8.13. Brian had a tuff time with Winter predictions and refused to be in the picture that Brian Stain “Scotty Miller snapped!” Jonathon told Scott 105.5 MMM is better than 94.9 and marked his burger a 1/2 point higher! Ah competition
Many thanks to Gerry Boris for taking role and scores while BNO Bob missed his first ever Burger Nite! Heck Brett Favre had to break his consecutive games played too. Mine went to #63!
Good times and great beer.

Where’s Wando’s….? In 7th place.
Wow and you all thought we were drinking Wando Fish Bowl concoctions! No some Gumballhead, Spotted Cow and Capital Amber. We were nursed nicely by Nikki and we needed a nice score and knew we were knuckleheads, but burgers can can be needy so we nestled our necks and thought we were being given noodles and nachos, but none the less-we got excellent burgers that were the nectar of the Night! Neat huh?
An #8.6 overall score and they moved into 7th place- narrowly!
Stay tuned for next month. We might change our start time to a half hour ahead of time, to be sure to get any Packer fans home in time for a kickoff against: Da Bears at 7:20pm. Stay tuned for more details. BNO Bob Out~
Final Score: 8.6

The Silver Eagle
Well it was tense for a few moments. I was with a pitcher of beer ALL by myself and at 6:10PM it seemed that BNO Bob was going to be the only scorer :(
But the Silver Eagle came through when Limo Larry came, then Kettle Bell Kevin arrived, then Defibulator Dan Graf showed and the tall guy, Rick Vierstra made a medium rare cameo. The Crowd was alive, the burger special only $4.99 & the Beer was cold and spotted, and the Silver Eagle netted a 8.26!
Not bad, our server Lauren was really good & ESPN In The Trenches was there doing a live broadcast. It was a nice evening. Please rest up your cholesterol levels men. Make sure you mark you calendar for February 9th at Liliana’s in Fitchburg. It will be our 50th!
Final Score: 8.26
