Back in October, noted five-tool imbecile Terry Foster announced on his awful blog that he would be opening a new Mexican restaurant in Chesterfield Township.

A few days after that announcement he Tweeted out the following:

Well, it’s been five weeks and the place still isn’t open; according to the 97.1 moron, the doors of Mariachi’s Cantina will be open soon ….

Yep, Terry Foster is actually attempting the EXTREMELY rare trifecta of failed Eastside food service ventures. First there was Candy Express at Lakeside Mall. Then there was the monumental failure in Fraser known as Foster’s Smokehouse.

And now we have Mariachi’s Cantina. I mean, could you have come up with a more stereotypical name for a Mexican dining establishment? Was Speedy Gonzalez’s Restaurante taken?

Anyway, when Foster opened up the Smokehouse, the DSR ran a contest asking how many days it would be open and we gave away Tigers tickets as a prize. So, we figured that we would do the same thing again with the Cantina.

The person who correctly predicts the date on which Mariachi’s Cantina will be shuttered for good will win a pair of tickets to a Red Wings and Tigers game. That’s a total of four tickets provided by our good friends at the TicketMachine.

If you ever need tickets to a local event, you can call the TicketMachine at (888) 887-4411. Tell them Jiff Myst sent ya.

Here are some facts that you might want to consider while handicapping the imminent death of Mariachi’s Cantina:

  • Foster’s Smokehouse lasted a total of 124 days.
  • Foster’s Smokehouse’s “Soft Opening” lasted 91 days.
  • Foster’s Smokehouse closed for good 33 days after its “Grand Opening.”
  • The location of Mariachi’s Cantina formerly housed an Outback Steakhouse.
  • The price for Outback Steakhouse shares closed at $41.10 on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange.
  • Mariachi’s Cantina is NOT a publicly traded company nor is it one of the most popular chain restaurants in the free world.

So here are the rules for entering the “Mariachi Cantina Muerte Challenge” …….

All you have to do is email me at DetSportsRag@GMail.com with the subject line of “Mariachi Cantina Muerte Challenge.”  Give me a date (make sure you include a year) on which you think this place will follow Foster’s candy store and the Closedhouse™ (Justin Spiro) into oblivion.

There is no fee for entering, but each person is limited to just one entry.  All you have to do is give me the date on which you think the place will close and your FULL name.

The contest will close on Tuesday, December 9th at 11:59pm.

Good luck!
