Author: Robert E. Mace

I am a hydrogeologist who has worked almost 30 years in Texas. I've worked at the Bureau of Economic Geology and the Texas Water Development Board and presently work at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. In addition to aquifers, I love history and the intersection of science and policy. I also love cats and tacos.

review of dwight garner’s “the delicatessen upstairs”

carve american grille

...don't let the greeting table of the Protein Formerly Known as Moo dissuade you—the place is a "Grille," not a "Steakhouse," so there are other offerings for folks like us who don't automatically order steak when we see blood.

I always taste history when I have good mole, and the rich, deep, and delicious flavors of Puebla came alive with this plate.
