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.

#hit&run: sascee’s southern style eatery (waco tx)

Sascee's is not a fine dining establishment, but the actual dining is quite fine.

mignonette (miami fl)

The Michelin Guide describes Mignonette as a “high-grade, low-key spot for seafood,” and they are spot on.

tacology (miami, fl)

I choose the Slushy Catrina since I used to be in a goth band called Memento Mori and the Slushy came in a skull.

ling wu

If you need to compromise your developmental morals, I couldn't think of a better place to do it than Ling Wu.

#top50tacos: don artemio (fort worth tx)

The cactus is impossibly thin and then flash fried, arriving like a stack of Bette Midler's hair.

ode to chicken fried steak

Why not pound it with a cubed cleaver? and batter it like a bug-fed yard fowl? and sear it to the warm hue of rusty Ogallala sands?

rebecca’s at the lodge (cloudcroft nm)

Rebecca's is named after the ghost of a chambermaid brutally axe-murdered by a lumberman after catching her with another man (I'm hopelessly disappointed that the bar's Bloody Marys are not named Bloody Rebeccas...).
