About Paragon

Allen Adams was born and raised in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley and has over twenty years of experience in the restaurant, nightclub and bar business. Allen cut his teeth managing the The Shark Club in downtown LA. While working at the Shark Club, Allen learned the importance of treating customers in such a way that garnered incredible loyalty and a multitude of return clientele. Allen moved on to be the bar manager of the Seafood Broiler and Milano’s Italian kitchen. Allen always strived to create a personable environment where the customer would feel comfortable and want to be a part of. He always puts the customer’s needs first and foremost. Allen decided after years of being in the business to venture out and open the Paragon Bar and Grill. Along with partner “CJ” Willis, their goal was to create a place in Northridge that would give the feel of going to Hollywood or Downtown, without the long drive or potential pretentiousness.

Everything we do here at Paragon Bar and Grill is prepared fresh, from our handmade cocktails, to our snacks and all of our food. Our menu was created by executive chef Greg Schroeppel. Greg has worked with Wolfgang Puck and has done a great job putting a menu together for you. Our goal is to provide the best service, drink and food in the Valley.

“Great Bar, Great Food”

In round 1, most the teams got all the answers right, but only Drought and Brexit doubled. In round 2, every team doubled, but Mom and Nothin failed. Chungus and Brexit successfully doubled in round 3. Then the game got weird.

Drought guessed wrong in round 4 and followed up with two failed doubles, leaving even before the final round. Shrek had a correct 10-point guess in round 4, but was kept just a couple of points out of placing. Spectrum, also with a failed guess in round 4, had every answer in round 6, but failed to double on it. Chungus maintained a decent score for the rest of the game, snagging second. The B-Sharps took a correct 10-point guess in round 4 and strong scores for the rest of the game, capturing the 3rd-place spot. Like Spectrum, Oscar didn't double in round 6 and were just a single point outside the top spots. Brexit, however, took successful doubles in the first three rounds, and even though they failed round 4, immediately followed up with another double in round 5, all the answers right in round 6 (but still no double), and a strong showing in the final round.

I want to thank everyone that joined us for my birthday tonight. I was tickled to have "Happy Birthday" sung to me several times. I'm especially appreciative of Oscar for going above and beyond to celebrate my birthday. The signed collage of all your group's photos is very touching. I appreciate you.

See you all next week!

Our teams struggled a bit with tonight's quiz. C2W jumped into the lead with a double in round 3 and a 10-point guess in round 4. Unfortunately, a stumble in round 5 led to a failed double and gave Shrek and Oscar a chance to close the gap, overtaking him in round 6. Even getting 8/10 in the final round couldn't bring C2W back up, and Oscar rode a 10-point guess in round 4 and a perfect score in round 6 to a win!

Hope to see you all next week for your Quiz Master's birthday!

Nothing, Swamp, and Virus took an early lead with successful doubles in the first two rounds. Hogwarts jumped up from behind with a double in round 5, and then things got interesting.

A successful double in round 6 clinched the lead for Virus with failed doubles in the final 2 rounds only pushing the leaders farther ahead of the rest of the pack.

Happy New Year to everyone, and I look forward to seeing you all again next week!

P.S. Congratulations to Hogwarts on making it to the Tournament of Champions!
