The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.
The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.
Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead... asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.
They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.
The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed.
There was no way old man Ford was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords.
They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown.
And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max on the controls.

With 20 years of experience, Jose Solorio has been bartending at BRIO Tuscan Grille at Town Square in Las Vegas, Nevada for 3½ years. Prior to joining BRIO, he owned his own bar in California before the market crash of fall 2008 brought him to Las Vegas.

Rogue Stout
Celebrate this Valentine’s Day with two World Class stouts created specifically for the occasion: Rogue Chocolate Stout and Double Chocolate Stout. No need to wait until the last minute to ask that special someone, “Will You BEER MY VALENTINE?” Rogue Chocolate Stout and Double Chocolate Stout are available now.
Rogue Chocolate Stout
Chocolate Stout, with a custom “Valentine Red” label on a 22 oz. bottle, is Rogue’s platinum award-winning Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout--one of the highest rated stouts in the world--infused with decadent Dutch chocolate.
Rogue Double Chocolate Stout
Double Chocolate Stout is the amplification of Chocolate Stout, with big, rich flavors of chocolate, rolled oats, and honey. It will only be available throughout February in its 750ml bright red painted bottle--a World Class package for a World Class beer.
To enhance the experience, Rogue has collided with Spiegelau to create a revolutionary Stout Glass, the ultimate vessel for enjoying your stout. Expertly crafted, tested and approved, the Stout Glass accentuates the roasted malt and rich coffee and chocolate notes that define Rogue’s World Class stouts.
After a successful harvest season, both stouts will be brewed using hops and barley grown on the Rogue Farms in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Tygh Valley.

Inspired by classic French fare and the fresh flavor of his native New Orleans, Chef Erik Niel’s restaurant is a bistro reimagined for Southeast Tennessee. Chattanooga’s Easy Bistro & Bar blends a modern, ingredient-focused menu with upscale comfort food and impeccable hospitality.

Developed by Chef Niel and Bar Manager Alex Jump, the newest winter cocktail creations are inventive and seasonal, featuring kitchen collaborative riffs on classics.
