In-N-Out update
on Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Latest News | Comment
In February we told you that In-N-Out is looking to expand its Texas operation south of Dallas-Fort Worth and that Waco was in their plans. That little bit of news seemed to excite people, so of course we're going to stay on this story.
In the last four months, things seemed to have inched forward. I emailed my source at In-N-Out this week because I was starting to hear more rumors and more of you have been asking about In-N-Out. I got an answer within the afternoon. It's sort of like watching a download on your computer when you sit there and think "did it just move forward, I think it did."
Monday Recon: making room for the new

It feels to me like our town has gone a little quiet at the moment.
Maybe it's because all the schools are out now, Baylor is sleep walking through the first half of summer session, some of my buds have exited for other places, some are preparing to make moves and some folks have just skipped town for a little while. I'm a glass-half-full type of guy lately, though, so I'ma just be happy that parking spaces are easy to find.

I'm invoking Rule 90-20 today. That's the rule that states if the temperature outside is below 90 degrees and the wind is blowing less than 20 mph, then I probably play golf. This is not to be confused with Rule 80-20, which states that if the temperature outside is below 80 degrees and the wind less than 20 mph, then I definitely play golf.

Mama Fu's plans to open at the start of July
on Friday, May 31, 2013
Latest News | Comment
This just in: Mama Fu's has July 1 tentatively targeted for the grand opening of its new Valley Mills Drive restaurant. That will make it the first restaurant to open in the shopping center anchored by Aldi and soon to also include SmashBurger, Jimmy John's and Rusty Taco.
One cool thing about Mama Fu's, which is sort of Asian-fusion casual dining, is that it's an order-at-the-counter deal during the day and table service at night. Click here to check out their menu.
News and notes: SmashBurger eyes August opening

It's looking like we'll have SmashBurger open right around the middle of August.
SmashBurger's Brad Brown told me this week that they're looking at about four weeks until they start outfitting their space, though they're still in that stage where they're waiting on outside factors, so they can't name a specific date yet.

Seats available for Cafe Homestead Farm-to-Table Dinner
on Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Latest News | Comment
I checked with Cafe Homestead this morning and they still have seats for the June 1 farm-to-table event.
The restaurant began this series calling it "farm to table dinner" and then moved away from that distinction when the menu didn't precisely fit. But this one is going to be a spring harvest farm-to-table dinner. There will be one seating at 6:30 p.m. and the cost is $49 per person.
Common Grounds grows a little greener
on Monday, May 20, 2013
Latest News | Comment
I'm currently working from Common Grounds for two reasons.
For one thing, I'm unofficially making this "old crotchety guy day" at CG because with Baylor graduation directly in our rear-view mirror and summer school directly ahead, it's the perfect day at Common Grounds for guys like me. That is, guys who like to work in a public space, but want to find that sweet spot where I'm not at my house but also not in a really crowded place. Common Grounds is the right amount of chill today.
