Celebrated Pi Day this year by eating “all you can eat” crab legs at Rock & Brews in Braman, OK. From left:<\/em> Hai Nguyen, Chris Reyes, Aelisa Carter, Susie Ternes, and Grant Ternes. Chris, Hai, and I carpooled with Susie and Grant; while Hai and Chris’ friend Aelisa met us at the casino.<\/p>\n

The $65 “all you can eat” price includes a small salad to start, corn on the cob, potatoes, unlimited crab legs, and ice cream for dessert. I think Hai normally skips the salad (to save more room for crab legs) but he got peer-pressured into getting it on this trip.<\/p>\n

The drinks are extra so I limited myself to only one margarita. <\/p>\n

All of us started off with plates like these — corn, potato, two clusters of crab legs, and a tub of butter. <\/p>\n

The server regularly comes around to get additional drink orders and empty the shell\/discard bucket. Then there’s another guy who comes around and brings you more crab legs as you finish your clusters. I thought I could eat crab legs but I didn’t realize I was going with a bunch of pros. They made me feel like a 2.5 — for real. Aelisa busted out her gloves and Chris and Hai were ready for more crab legs before I could even finish my first cluster.<\/p>\n

Susie, Grant, and I were no match for these three.<\/p>\n

We all got ice cream at the end and then walked off our dinner by exploring the casino area (and donating some cash to the gambling gods). <\/p>\n

I think they are normally not this slow on a Friday night but that was the night of the big wind storm. I suspect a lot of people opted to stay home. It worked out in our favor because I was told they sometimes will run out of crab legs when they are super busy. There was plenty to go around that night.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Aelisa had the right idea with the gloves. I ended up cutting my thumb and didn’t find it until the next morning. I knew I had cut myself because, when I was wiping my hand with a wet nap, I kept getting bloody spots all over it but, every time I would stop, I couldn’t find where the cut was. I would look at my hands and nothing was bleeding but as soon as I wiped my hands with a wet nap, the towelette would get bloody again. I knew I had cut myself. I just didn’t know where. So, when Hai washed his hands with lemon juice at the end, I opted not to use lemon juice because I was afraid it would hurt like hell. So I just went to the restroom and washed my hands with soap and water after. I still could not find the cut and I didn’t see it until the next morning.<\/p>\n

The unlimited crab legs was so good. I don’t even mind getting injured. At least I know for next time to bring a pair of gloves. LOL. Let me know if anyone wants to go and we can all carpool. I would totally do this again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
