So when we decided to join a college friend for a few games of 8-ball at <a href=\"http:\/\/jilliansboston.com\/\">Jillian&#8217;s<\/a> last weekend, it was not a pretty sight. After struggling to finish 3 games in 90 minutes, we decided to console ourselves at the highly touted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetcheeksq.com\/\">Sweet Cheeks Q<\/a> for some Texas-styled ribs &amp; brisket.
