Episode 443 - The Ultimate Houston Date Night Draft 2.0

Planning out where to go for a first date can be hard, I mean there's so many places where could you take that special someone what do you even choose? If only there was an episode of a podcast that not only picked some of the best first date spots but also third date spots, casual weeknight date spots, and even breakup spots. Oh, well it turns out this episode of What's Eric Eating is all about that. After the success of last year's Ultimate Date Night Draft, Eric's bringing it back with new drafters and a twist. This year Eric, alongside Chelsea Thomas, Lawton Driscoll, Michael Fulmer, Monica Danna, and Army Sadeghi of Clarkwood are drafting based off an occasion format. Here's the categories: first date spot, third date spot, girls/guys/friend's night spot, casual weeknight date spot, breakup spot, and a wildcard which is any place the drafter thinks would be fun to go to on a date (does not have to be a bar or restaurant). The Draft RulesRule 1: All selections must be located in Greater Houston. Rule 2: Once a restaurant has been selected for a certain category, no other drafter may select it for the same category. For example, only one drafter can select 13 Celsius for a first date but someone else could select 13 Celsius for a third date.Rule 3: Drafters cannot pick the same bar/restaurant/business twice. All 6 selections must be from different places.Rule 4: Snake draft format. The draft order will go one through six in round 1 then go backwards six through one in round 2.Rule 5: Categories may be selected in any order. Follow Eric on Instagram/Threads @ericsandler.
