Hard Times at Four-Mile Fork: Bring your own stick, drink lots of beer, eat free chili Date published: 3/30/2006
By MICHAEL ZITZ Craig: The first thing that hits you when you walk in the Hard Times Cafe and Cue at Four-Mile Fork is that it's a big place. Really big. Mike : And coming from you, a big, big, really big man, that's saying something. Big Craig. Big Craiiig. Big, bad Craig. Craig : You're weird. Mike : I think we've already established that. Craig : Lots and lots of pool tables. One thing I've always wondered about, though, is the guys who come in here carrying their own cue sticks. They're that good that they can't use the house sticks? What's the deal with that? Mike: Exactly. Look, ladies and gentlemen, it's the famous Spotsylvania Fats! He's brought his own cue stick because he's serious about this game, folks. There's a bowl of Cincinnati chili on the line! Craig: Yeah, and he's going to hit you over the head with that custom cue if you don't settle down. Mike : I wonder if that would qualify me for workman's comp. Craig : One of my favorite things about Hard Times is the hot sauces. They're really hot, really tasty, and they have really risque, cool names like Mike : We can't say that. Craig : And like Mike : We can't say that. Craig : And like Mike : We can't say that. Craig : We got the chili lime wings as an appetizer, and they're great--big and meaty and flavorful. Mike : We can't say that. Craig : Our Hard Times waitress, Justine, didn't give us a hard time. She's attentive and nice and . Mike: We can't say that. Justine put up with us without complaining to either the bar's or The Free Lance-Star's management, which is always a big plus in my book. Craig: The place has a nice selection of beers on tap, including the local microbrew Blue & Gray Lager, which they call the Hard Times Lager here. Craigy likey. Mike : That's about the only thing we can say.
