It's a weird day in the news (sports news) and I feel like my attempts at wittiness in regard to whatever I choose to have for lunch will be too trivial.
I'm as narcissistic as the next guy, but I recognize that the fate of our local university, or at least its ties to the once-great Big 12, is in jeopardy. So I'm disinclined to rattle on about food. For the record, I believe Baylor is a great school with an outstanding athletic department and the Bears will be fine in the long run. And I'm a Red Raider who has struggled to love Baylor for many years, so that's no piddly vote of confidence.
In the void of restaurant chatter, though, I will remind everyone in the WacoFork family that we are giving one of you an iPad2 sometime soon. Sometime soon meaning sometime between now and whenever we reach 1,000 reviews. We are currently at 534 reviews, which is about 100 more than when we announced this new contest four weeks ago. So we'll leave it up to you to predict when we'll reach the mark.
The important thing to remember about this contest is that every review that you submit earns you an entry into the hat and there will only be about 550 total entries in there. Thems good odds.
On a related note, and as a way of saying we think Waco is a great place, we would like to applaud our WacoFork friends for your diligence and creativity.
We're five months old today, so the fact that we've had 534 reviews written, spanning 156 restaurants is exciting for us. That means, so far and on average, a new restaurant gets reviewed per day.
Obviously, we like Waco.
Did you hear me, Pac-12 and SEC and ACC and Texas and Oklahoma … WACO IS A GREAT PLACE! Whoever gets Baylor sports is going to be happy to have Baylor and Waco.
That's as hard as this old Red Raider can pull.
