Ring-a-ding-a-dingy. At Hank’s.
I don’t like snails or toads or frogs Or strange things living under logs But, mmm mmm mmm, I love onions Dinner for two. For 100 pesos. Including tip. But, no, of course not including drinks. Don Day’s Wife and I have done it. A few times. It starts with the clocks...
Feels like home again. At Firenze.
I had no one to blame but myself. Oh sure, I could blame that mean and nasty Covid. But Covid hadn’t really been that nasty to me for over a year. I guess it was what’s been plaguing mankind since creation. That wanting to taste the latest instead of sticking to the...
El Terco. Tacos before sundown.
I turned the corner at Refugio, with those buds on my tongue wishing that Tio Carlos’ taco stand might have changed its hours. But no, it was all boarded up just like all of the other afternoons. I wasn’t surprised. And I already had Bahn Mi and a mystery meat...

It all sounded wonderful at first. Take the proven shopping mall food court concept and move it into town with a little more warmth, charm and selection for the clients and a lot more affordability for the tenants. Over 70 entrepreneurial individuals and businesses...
