cape coddah

ann and dabney headed to southie on sunday to visit boston tara at her family's pub, the black thorn. the pub was sold recently, so this was ann and dabney's last chance to soak up tara in all her glory behind the bar, and they jumped at the chance. they had a very pleasant afternoon hanging out with tara and her peeps, drinking guinness and black & tans.

if you happen to run into boston tara, be sure to ask her about the time that chronicle came to get footage of her bartending class a couple of years ago for a story they were doing. tara planned to make drinks she could say that wouldn't reveal her boston accent. things like gin & tonic. tom collins. manhattan. cosmopolitan. she just forgot one drink.

the cape coddah.

for weeks after the program aired, she couldn't escape people yelling "cape coddah!" at her. on the other end of the phone. across the softball field. at work.

so, a toast to boston tara and her irish clan. that the tap may be open when it rusts!
