Stamford Summer Bar Tour [6] - 122 Pizza Bistro

Pizza Bistro 122? Have I fallen off the stated mission of bar hopping into a restaurant romp, not unlike my brief detour into a Townhouse Cafe tour? Known simply as "The Bistro" to rowdy group of townies who can often be found cramming a sliver of bar space any night of the week, 122 Broad St has one of the most popular restaurant bar scenes in Stamford

BlogStamford was joined on this stop by about 8 co-workers hungry after an all day event of corporate team building. Any self respecting group of office drones knows the key to retaining ones sanity in the workplace is to grasp onto an inside joke and punch, kick, strangle, and bulldoze every ounce of funny out of it. My crew shares a love of Willford Brimley's Liberty Mutual commercial and his non-standard pronunciation of of "diabetus". See for yourself:



Maybe the warm cozy feeling of the Bistro reminded me of fireside at Wilford's because I decided to start shouting lines from the commercial at various co-workers. Everyone was loving the bit about how some people still didn't know their testing supplies could be covered by Medicare. The part about Liberty being a participating Medicare provider killed. The free of shipping went over huge. Or so I thought. No one was laughing. Was the joke finally dead? Was I the asshole doing a bad impersonation of Borat a month too late all of a sudden? What had happened? Was our newest associate, a shy, straight out of college girl and possibly the one person in the group not aware of Mr. Brimley's work to save us money and hassle on buying meters the X-factor in the mix? No, but maybe it was her boyfriend who had just met us out, dangling a shiny medical bracelet from his wrist and apparently fresh off telling the entire group (minus a certain distracted blogger) about his diabetes.
