Oh, baby, it's a beautiful Monday morning.
As I sit here at my favorite coffee shop, it's sunny and 75 degrees. The high today is supposed to be 88 and the overnight low is predicted to be 54. Is it time to break out the hoodie? A man can dream.
Friends, we made it. I kept telling myself all summer that God gave Texas the heat because He knew we could handle it. I believe that. But He also blesses us with the pleasure of feeling like a day on which the high temperature is 88 degrees is a little slice of heaven.
Hello, October, let me look at you. And since it's October, that means the monthly ritual of WacoFork must be observed — The Month In Reviews.
This is where I celebrate all of the reviews written by our friends in the last month by pulling out a few choice lines. I'm not going to say I scoured all the reviews written in the last month, because it seems when someone says they "scoured" something, they're really trying to convince you they were more thorough than they actually were. So I'll say this, I read enough of your reviews to know who threw out some pretty decent nuggets of review lines.
And I also know who's been blowing us off lately. I'm looking at you mghamma.
Before I reveal September's top 10, I want to remind everyone that WE ARE GOING TO GIVE AWAY ANOTHER IPAD when we reach 1,000 reviews. Right now, we're almost to 600. This thing is completely up to you. You control how soon we give away the iPad2 (or the most up-to-date Apple tablet product when we reach 1,000 reviews) and you control your odds of winning because every review earns you an entry in the hat.
Need I say more? Here's the top 10 (with a heavy dose of ninjacoco and DavieG):
10) I remember one time we were all chilling out side, and a bunch of very pretty Baylor students sat across from us; one of my cousins cracked a joke so funny, I ended up shooting big red out my nose... so NOT cool.
9) I don't get it. I love mayonnaise, taste the mayonnaise and I'm intrigued by the creamy, almost familiar texture of it, but at the same time, the other stuff in it just ruins the aforementioned mayonnaise. The seasonings don't blend together well at all. Is that...ketchup? Worcestershire sauce? Who thought up this hot mess and decided it was acceptable?

8) Beware, it's a favorite place of Bear fans, so it's really crazy Homecoming, Parent's Weekend, and home games.
7) In this little square half block you can get the best of both worlds- BBQ and Greasy Goodness.
6) The meat was nicely cooked, hot, juicy and great flavor which had taken on extra smokeyish greaseyish awesome flavor from the greatly seasoned flattop- almost indescribable awesomeness. All coming together to make one most excellent burger.
5) It is a hole in the wall, literally. Carved out of the old deli in the IGA United Super in Hewitt. Serving up comfort food deluxe and every bite is a 'yum 'moment.
4) I ordered the french toast with cheesy eggs and my wife got the biscuits and gravy with hash browns. … Both were so good! Just like Mama used to make...only better! (sorry Mama!)
3) It's always stuffed to capacity to the point where I'd almost rather go to a roach coach for my Mexican fix.
2) First of all, I was a moron who picked it up with my fingers. Anything I touched got a bit of leftover capsaicin after that. Let's just say I was glad I was wearing glasses instead of contacts that day!
1) Check out the taqueria soon, and tell them the pastor is coming after the devil!
