Downloading Apps - The MBIP 2025 Appetizer Tour • Week Number Ten @: Brasky’s Bar & Grill

by MBIP


We’ve hit double digits on our appetizer tour and this is the tenth week already! I thought this week we’d sample some appetizers at Brasky’s Bar & Grill and so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. See how simple this can be?

Okay, off to Brasky’s we go!

Just as predicted, here we are at Brasky’s Bar & Grill on Knoxville Avenue.

There’s the dining room and I though we’d sit at one of the booths lining the back wall.

And just moments after we sit down, we’re joined by our special guest star of the day, “Phenomenal Phil” Raso!

Phil is a talented performer who specializes in Magic and Mind Reading. You can read more about him at his website. He’s a seasoned performer and his shows will leave you entertained and mesmerized by his unique mind reading and magical talents.

Phil has a show coming up this Friday at the Dunlap American Legion and I’m going to be there and you should too! You can read about it and get tickets to the show by clicking right here.

Phil appeared on The Greg And Dan Show this morning and you can listen to the interview by clicking on this link.

Okay, back to the business of sampling appetizers. Here’s the appetizer section and they have some tempting appetizer offerings!

Seth brought us drinks and took our appetizer order. Now I’ll abandon Phil to take some photos while our appetizers are being prepared.

Here’s a sign featuring the daily specials that happen at Brasky’s Bar & Grill.

There’s an impressive bar in the front of the room and it’s decorated with festive stockings for the upcoming Xmas holiday!

Here’s the half a dozen beers on tap behind the bar.

They have gaming machines in this corner right next to the bar if you’re feeling lucky. Well, do ya punk?

Here’s another shot of the dining room and meanwhile, back at our booth…

Our weekly appetizer order has arrived!

We got an order of the Italian Beef Egg Rolls and the homemade Corn Fritters! Both of them look amazing, let’s dig in!

The Italian Beef Egg Rolls came with a bowl of au jus and I dipped on in and it was a savory and delicious treat!

There’s Phil enjoying the appetizers on the other side of the booth.

The nice thing about having lunch with Phil is you don’t have to say anything, he just sits there and reads your mind! It makes for a nice relaxing and entertaining lunch!

I love the corn fritters they serve in here. They make them in-house and they are such a sweet treat!

I drizzled some syrup on one and it was so tasty and satisfying!

Appetizer Rating

I thought I’d rate the corn fritter this week, because they are a hard to find appetizer and such a sweet treat when you can enjoy them like we did this week!

I’ll give the Brasky’s Corn Fritters a nice rating of three and a half Chad Wallace Deviled Eggs!

Thanks to Phil for joining me for lunch and be sure to check out his upcoming show happening this Friday evening!
