Goodbye, old friend

Goodbye, old friend

The heavy-metal teen punk in me wants to sit outside the McDonald's location on Valley Mills and listen to "Appetite for Destruction."

I'm not gonna do it, but I'm glad that part of me still exists. The sight of a demolition crew taking down the old McDonald's was enough to get me to pull over and snap a photo. McDonald's is tearing down this old building in order to build a new one in the same spot.

We told you last week about Sironia's Cupcakes & Cocktails event coming up this Thursday. This is your reminder, so take heed because this could be a blast and quite possibly the highlight of your week.

Sironia will host the party in its store and cafe from 5-7 p.m. Sloppy Joe's Brian and Jeremy will play music and announce door-prize winners every 15 minutes. Prizes range from candle sets to $500 gift certificates. While you're waiting to see if you won the next door prize, there will be plenty of cocktails, cupcakes and other appetizers to hold your attention.

Mark your May calendar for Cupcakes & Cocktails

It's going to be a busy month. The kind where I really need to keep a calendar because I can't keep it all straight in my brain. One of the things I definitely have down is the Cupcakes & Cocktails event on May 16 at Sironia.

This is a quarterly affair that just popped up on our radar when Sironia partnered with us earlier this year. For free stuff (food and drink and more) it doesn't get much better than this event.

Waco native Brian Patterson has a new EP, "A Short Century," out there for your listening pleasure. We really dig it and we couldn't be happier for our buddy.

Do yourself a favor and go here or here and buy it. It's the best $5 you'll spend today.

Who serves the best hot dog in town?

I submit it's a dog fight between Katie's Frozen Custard and newcomer G&K Hot Dogs, which has set up shop downtown on Austin Avenue in the last month.

 

How bout Bangkok Royal

[ "How 'bout …" is the logical extension of our tagline "Where you wanna eat?" Because we've all been there when someone says "Where you wanna eat?" and then everyone stands around a little awkwardly until someone cautiously offers up "How 'bout …" and then the name of a restaurant. It's also a way for us to highlight the restaurants that we want to highlight. Here it goes. ]

Bangkok Royal is Waco's premiere Thai food restaurant offers top notch cuisine in an elegant setting ideal for anything from take out to a a casual lunch to formal celebratory dinners. Open since 2000, Bangkok Royal has established itself as one of the area's favorite restaurants of any kind. BTW, it's a great place for a graduation dinner or any kind of end-of-the-semester treat, so look into booking it now.

If you're celebrating Diadeloso tomorrow, then there's no better food choice for you than the Oso burrito at El Crucero.

Do it.

Well, friends, we did it. Our little Gut Pak has achieved national fame as the Cooking Channel College Eats Bracket Challenge Champion.

We at WacoFork had a fun time being a part of it from the beginning. I was in Austin three weeks ago having a little taste of SXSW when Julie Keith from Vitek's texted and emailed to let me know the Gut Pak was going to be part of this deal. At the time I thought "this will make a fun thing to blog about on Monday."

Looking to shop with the option of snacking? Want to meet for lunch and a maybe pick up the perfect birthday/wedding gift? Just looking for a well-prepared and satisfying meal? The Sironia Cafe provides the ideal setting for all of the above. The Sironia menu ranges from quiche and soup/salad/sandwich combos to as hearty a burger as you'll find anywhere. And desserts? Just try to say no.
