One More Bite

Kill the fatted enchilada, for my sunglasses were lost, but now they're found.

It's Monday and a holiday week and I used up all my good new-restaurant news last week. So today, you're going to read about my sunglasses saga. Here it goes: On Saturday, I realized my sunglasses were missing. I beat myself up a little as I had purchased fancy Ray Ban sunglasses to try to prevent that exact thing from happening. "I'll spend a little more money on sunglasses so that I will be motivated to take care of them and keep up with them," I thought to myself.

Ready for another exciting development in the new-restaurants-coming-to-Waco category?

We heard via the WacoFork wire recently that Fuzzy's Taco Shop had posted a job listing for a Waco store. We looked into it and received confirmation this week that Fuzzy's is coming.

Loving Wacotown

I came to a profound realization the other day: pretty soon there will be a Guitar Center and a Freebirds not only in our town, but both within a 10-minute walk of my house.

To be clear, Freebirds is already here as it opened in September of 2012 and Guitar Center will be opening in mid-July.

I stopped by the soon-to-be-open Outlaw's BBQ and spoke with owner Kirk Taylor this morning. Taylor is preparing to open a pit-barbecue restaurant at 8th Street and La Salle. He said he was hoping to open by July 5, but it's looking like middle of July now.

Taylor will be offering pecan-smoked brisket, ribs and sausage — basically going for Texas barbecue as well as it can be done.

Here's the eighth installment of Tuesday Trivia, which we'll be running all summer.

We're tying trivia to new music releases since that happens on Tuesdays, so you'll have some framework for my question's origin. But I'm not going to frame the question so that you'll just be able to look up new releases and find the answer. I can hopefully make it a bit trickier than that.

Imagine sipping a coffee, Irish coffee or cocktail on one of those autumnal evenings right after the hot weather has taken its fall break.

Get ready. It's going to be a reality as Dichotomy prepares to open at 5th Street and Austin Ave.

I love sports and I really like the city of Chicago. I could even say that I love it, but I feel like I need to get to know it a little better before I go that far. I also really like the city of Boston as we got acquainted for the first time last summer.

But I do not care about the Stanley Cup Finals.

In-N-Out update

June 19, 2013 | Chad Conine | 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."

Here's the seventh installment of Tuesday Trivia, which we'll be running all summer.

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.
