This year’s Super Bowl started out rather dry, with the 49ers trailing behind the Ravens 21-6. The half time show featured a disappointing performance from Beyonce, as well as a brief visit from Destiny’s Child. To top it all off, power was lost at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for a total of 34 minutes, making it hard for television viewers to stay focused.
Evan Burschkopf, CEO of restaurant-bar Zarsha Leo, expressed gratitude to his staff for being quick on their feet.
“The staff at our Maryland venue was forced to come up with some pretty creative pastime ideas during the blackout. Our waitresses ended up auctioning off special deals and conducting a bar-wide trivia game using free drinks as prizes,” he revealed. “Thankfully they all had smartphones, or they wouldn’t have been able to come up with enough questions!” He added, “I’m impressed with their crisis management skills and am immensely proud of all who were involved.”
