If you tool over to 3001 W. 5th in FW, let me know. Still owe you a cup of our best 90 weight coffee and some good conversation prior to the 7am meeting.
I worked on the Northside for 21 years and only went there once, which was enough to convince me that El Asadero, Los Paisanos, El Rancho Grande (now the Original) were better authentic options and were less than a mile from my office.
Beat me to it. Great days (or so I thought) back when Caro's was next door and Johnny Day Whitten would deliver puffy tacos to the Oui and you could multi task with dinner and drink-gone.
Epic fail.
Closest HEB from our home is 4.3 miles in Johnson County. Would love to have one practically in our backyard and give the finger to Neighborhood Wall Mart, Albertson's, Super Target, Kroger, etc. Miss the days growing up in Corpus where there was an HEB every three miles.
Thank you for this announcement. I have driven by more times than I can count wondering if the day would ever come when they were open again. Missing the enchiladas mucho. Gonna take home some yardbird the next time I go in there as well, but Drew's is my favorite choice.
Mexican Inn on 8th is the tits-Camp Bowie location sucks. Love me some Mexico Real.
Bluebird won't be the same without Robert Ely and never went to the defunct Helen's.
Wouldn't be the Showdown if it was anything but a shit show. Missing the late Peter Plenk who was a friend.
Spent the afternoon watching both episodes of Bill Russell:Legend and highly recommend it. Having grown up watching the Russell/Chamberlain rivalry, it was really well done blending historical footage/commentary of their games, interviews with stars from the 60's through today, and a remarkable telling of Russell's life off the court using his voice to address whatever he thought was right.
Agree. Took a friend of ours to celebrate her PhD and this place has it going on. Atmosphere, 5* service, and a true interior Mexican menu that has options that keep me going back regularly.
The ramp is a pain but the real problem is sitting on the bridge on BI where two turn lanes exist. After turning left there is always some a$$hole in the right lane who cuts over in front of the left lane that is merging causing a back up or worse, a wreck. And having to yield on the ramp entering westbound I-20 when the lane is jammed up is truly one of the most remarkable failed engineering feats in TXDOT history.
Went to see two Oscar nominated shows in the last two weeks:
The Whale-Brendan Gleeson is likely to win Best Actor, but JEBUS, this was a hard watch. The special effects used to make him look 600 lbs will probably take an Oscar too.
The Banshees of Inisherin-Collin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson are great, but supporting actor nominee Barry Keoghan was OUTSTANDING and should win a statue imho.
Top three imho:
1. Goldee's-definitely deserved the #1 ranking in Tx Monthly, but prepare to stand in LONG lines if you arrive after 8am. Brisket beyond compare.
2. Panthercity Barbecue-now has a building and outstanding in brisket, ribs, sausage.
3. Hurtado-recently opened on 8th avenue in FW, but have only been to Arlington location on Division.
Honorable mention:
Heim on White Settlement-better service, parking, and overall quality of product than their Magnolia location.
Welcome. There is a solution to your drinking problem and a number of us that will help you going forward. Glad you are here and look forward to seeing what happens in your life in 2023.
