- A friend of mine who knows a little about good food and wine just had

- I haven't been to the Hog's Breath is quite some time, but I liked the
- place, especially that patio. Really nice place for drinks. Also, if you
- are female make sure to check out the graffiti in the ladies room. All
- sorts of stuff about Clint (I am assuming it's still there). And, if you
- are really lucky, Clint will be there when you stop in. I've heard that
- once in a blue moon he's been known to wait on tables if they are short-
- handed. Personally I think the chance of seeing Clint is enough to get
- me to go there!
