Burger King in South Beach now serving Beer

MIAMI BEACH, FL -- Burger King is opening a restaurant in Miami Beach that will serve beer along with burgers and fries, the chain's first U.S. location with alcohol.

At the Whopper Bar South Beach, guests can pair a Whopper sandwich with Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors brews. With fries, the combo will run $7.99.

The restaurant will offer outdoor dining, a walk-up window and delivery service.

It's scheduled to open mid-February. The announcement was made Friday.

Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy says adding beer at selected locations around the world is part of Miami-based Burger King's effort to reinvent itself as a fast-food restaurant with a sit-down feel.

Hottovy said making the new image resonate could be a challenge in some locations.

7.99 for a burger fries and a beer, SIGN ME UP! If this catches on its only a matter of time before Burger King puts every other fast food joint out of business. Also if this concept does catch on I full heatedly expect the number of DUI's in the US to increase by 40%

Dad in stripper pole case seeks fair trial

EASTON, Pa. — A Pennsylvania father accused of hosting a teen party featuring alcohol and a stripper pole says he can't get a fair trial because of media coverage.

Steven A. Russo will ask a Northampton County judge for a change of venue after the judge rejected a plea agreement last month. A hearing on the request is scheduled for Friday.

The 37-year-old Bethlehem Township man was charged with corruption of minors, providing then with alcohol and other charges. He was charged after racy photos surfaced of students drinking and dancing at a stripper pole at his house.

Defense attorney Erv McLain says the story has been so sensationalized that Russo can't get a fair trial locally.

Russo is currently in prison after being convicted of stalking an ex-girlfriend.

This has got to be the best dad in the world right?! Like my dad wouldn't let me have more then one dude over growing up. This dad is an american hero getting a stripper pole and booze for the kids, like can it get any better!? God knows if this is a crime I'll be committing a crime the day my son turns 16.
