Freeway Tavern

When you're looking at different "signature" dishes from across America, you're going to think of things like the famous Cheesesteak sandwich from Philadelphila. There's pizza, and when you say "New York" or "Chicago" style, it's a given that you either mean ultra-thin or deep-dish and loaded with toppings. Boston has baked beans. Even in Montana, certain towns are known for certain things. Bozeman, at least to me, is synonymous with a Pickle Barrel sandwich. In Missoula, it's a Mo Club burger. Billings has the Burger Dive. But what about Butte?

Frank Finnegan's beautiful 2009 Corvette Convertible took home the People's Choice Award for best car or truck and Danny Mac's 1967 Yamaha won top motorcycle at Cruise Nite #3 held last night at the Drunk'n Miner Saloon and Copper Spirits Casino at 1800 Meadowlark here in Butte.

Multitalented Fred Crase will be putting on a fundraiser concert this Saturday night at the Butte Elks Lodge that has a lot of people excited. Of course, we know Fred from his work with the Brewery Follies as the Musical Director and his work as Choir Director of the Mining City Choral Union. He does incredible work with whatever his endeavor. But Saturday Night, in addition to being Alright For Fighting (sorry, I couldn't resist), Fred will be known as Sir Elton John as he takes the stage for a fundraiser show, "The Bitch Is Back", with proceeds going not only to the Mining City Choral Union but also to Butte's Orphan Girl Children's Theatre.

Get you Cat/Griz spread on Butte style.
