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...).
kesos tacos
The Rise N Shine (scrambled eggs, chorizo, bacon, slow roasted pork carnitas, jalapeños, refried beans, and queso on a corn tortilla; $5) was heartier than the Tin Man at the end of The Wizard of Oz, a truly impressive taco.
black gold
Black Gold is all about the pits. The dark steel of his two approachable Cen-Tex smokers named after Stevie Ray and Jimmie provides the meats and the moody gestalt of the architecture, decor, and tablescapes.
what we ate way back in December of 2024
pomegranate and duck and cherry salsa, oh my!
hit&run: modavie in montreal, canada
Modavie, which stands for “mode de vie” or “lifestyle,” turned out to not only be delicious but also one the best places to eat in Montreal (and Canada).
what we ate way back in November of 2024
curry and kolaches and posole, oh my!
north street (san marcos tx)
The menu sings of Indian-Texan fusion, including chaat (snacks), curry tacos (using the paratha as a tortilla), features (mains), and bevs, including several Indian-influenced ones.
