I haven't been to a Cafe Homestead special dinner in a while, but this one looks too good to pass up.
On August 17, Cafe Homestead will roll out a garlic-crusted prime rib dinner augmented by some eye-catching sides. There will be two settings — 5:30 and 7:30 — and it will cost $48 per person.
Here's the 14th installment of Tuesday Trivia, which we'll be running all summer.
We've been tying trivia to new music releases since that happens on Tuesdays, so you would have some framework for my question's origin.
Well, I'm more conflicted than anyone should be concerning the opening of a convenience store.
Stripes, which contains the fast-food taco cafe Laredo Taco Company, opened at the intersection of New Road and Bagby today. My grand plan was to hit it up after my morning warm-up at Starbucks and buy enough tacos to take home for me and my friend Giles, who usually mows my yard on Monday.
The Major League Baseball trade deadline came and went on Wednesday without any life-altering news in my world of sports. But I still sort of sympathized with baseball teams who either lost or gained players.
(In case you're thinking that maybe I'm accidentally posting this on the wrong blog because it fits better on my sports essay venue, just hang with me for a minute and it will make sense.)
A new bar, featuring multiple entertainment venues, opens this week on Lake Air Drive.
Brian Brown from Sloppy Joe and Red C Production's Russell Clay and Chris Cox have partnered to open Cinema next door to Captain Billy Whizzbang's, and coming at you on Friday.
Here's the 13th installment of Tuesday Trivia, which we'll be running all summer.
We've been tying trivia to new music releases since that happens on Tuesdays, so you would have some framework for my question's origin. Today's question coincides with Vince Gill releasing a new album called "Bakersfield."
I have three items to report from my weekend rounds with three different levels of information.
First, my buddy Toph Whisnant told me he dined at the new Mexican food restaurant, Cancun, which is located on Waco Drive in the building formerly occupied by Adriana and Janette's. Cancun opened in the last week or so. Whisnant said the decor in the restaurant is impressive but the menu might still be finding its way.
Nizza Pizza quietly opened on Bagby on Thursday.
In a sense, it's something we didn't already have — a walk-up, New York-style pizza place. It's kind of like sbarro, Michael Scott's favorite pizza joint in New York. I've already consumed the two pieces in the picture with this blog. I was going to eat one on location and save the other for later. Which I did, sort of, as I saved it for about 20 minutes later. Restraint.
OK, I'm back from my golf trip and back from Big 12 Media Days in Dallas and I'm ready to get back into the realm of new restaurants in Waco.
The first item on the agenda today was lunch at the new Outlaw's BBQ, which opened on Thursday at 8th and LaSalle. My friend Wes Kitten, who provided the photo for this blog, texted me last week to tell me Outlaw's had opened. I usually like to be in town when these things happen, but the way things are shaping up, if I wait until there aren't any openings to take a vacation, it could be a while before I have a vacation. So I can live with this one.
