Jeff Hughes, the bartender at Jonathan's Cork, is a man of many interests.
He likes to cook.
"I make anything you can grill or smoke," Hughes says. "We did a couple of smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving. And I love a good steak. I kill a lot of animals."
He likes hip-hop.
"My recent purchases were the Wu-Tang Clan's "8 Diagrams" and Common's "Finding Forever," he says.
But most of all, Hughes likes sports. The person who nominated him wrote in an e-mail, "nobody knows more sports trivia than Jeff."
Hughes says sports trivia just comes naturally.
"I watch so much sports, and so much sticks in my head," he says.
But just how good is Hughes at sports trivia? There's only one way to find out. It's trivia time.
