I recently went to the new Zapata’s on Second Loop. It is tucked away and faces sideways so you may have missed it. I consider myself to be something of a “Mexican food” connoisseur. After all I ate at Monterrey’s in Columbia 10,230 times in college. Surely that counts for something? Personally I prefer Zapatas [...]

I have been to Victor’s for lunch twice already… and both times I forgot to take pictures. Oh well, just imagine me chatting, eating, and laughing at Victors.

Bill is smoking meat Monday night and Tuesday, so if there is something specific you want, let us know so that we can have it ready for Tuesday afternoon pick-up. We will most [...]

Why don’t you come in and sit a spell? I fell in love with Bean Groovy the other day. I could honestly sit there and write or work for hours. Comfy chairs, light jazz in the background, really good coffee…. it was fabulous. The service was excellent. I highly recommend the Chai Latte. You can [...]
