The opportunity to fill your dance card with quality, small-venue shows rolls around later this month in Waco.
A five-day run will offer shows by David Ramirez, Green River Ordinance, Jillian Edwards Chapman, Seryn, Jarrod Dickenson and David Ford (that's a chronological list, btw).
I told you earlier this week that Longhorn Steakhouse was open on Franklin Avenue and I also told you I had penciled in dining there and specifically taking down their rib eye.
Done and done as Cory and I met there for lunch on Tuesday.
I just called to confirm that Longhorn Steakhouse is officially open.
The new chain steak joint on Frankliln Avenue opened this morning at 11.
Last week we told you about the new Greek food truck, Xristo's Cafe, on University Parks. Turns out these things come in pairs, apparently.
As soon as I published that article, someone told me about the new truck What About Wednesdays on Franklin Ave near the intersection at 8th Street. I stopped by early this afternoon to get the scoop on it.
I was picking up a little lazy-Thursday-on-Spring-Break lunch at Bangkok Royal today when, while walking back to my car, I noticed a new food truck across University Parks.
It was Xristo's Cafe and it's been open for a little more than a week, which I learned by crossing the street and speaking with owners Xristo and Stephanie Garman.
We counted 23,935 votes in the first round of the 254Eats Bracket Challenge (well, actually Polldaddy counted for us) and narrowed the field from 32 to 16 restaurants.
Voting for the second round, the Sweet 16 in tourney vernacular, begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Here's a look at some of the intriguing matchups.
I've been keeping a close eye on the 254EatsBracketChallenge as we reach the final 10 hours of voting for the first round. Remember, voting ends at midnight tonight.
With a little voting time left, there are six close matchups, including three — all in the Cameron Park Zoo bracket — that have flip-flopped in the last 24 hours.
Attention fans of chain steakhouses: Longhorn Steakhouse will open its new restaurant on Franklin Avenue on March 24.
I asked about opening preview events and received a vague response involving the Chamber of Commerce or somesuch. Oh well, it will be spring break anyway. I think I was only given tentative permission to publish this blog. I couldn't really understand the conversational arc. But I'm taking the risk for you, WacoFork friends.
Well, wouldn't you know it, we roll out our 254EatsBracketChallenge and, on the same day, Torchy's let's us know when they're opening.
We have an opening date and an initial enticing offer. We're still keeping our ear to the ground to find out if there will be any sort of pre-opening events.
