P.S.  Don’t be too hard on those bright red cherries.  We’ve been known to soak those toxic red cherries [...]

Big Tex Decatur

Migas Topped With Carnitas & Jalapeño Relish

Breakfast heaven, tender chunks of pork with crispy edges bury those perfectly cooked eggs.  Sometimes, we can be a bit generous with that word.  But, this time, we’d offer even higher praise.  Those eggs were light, supremely delicate and touched with that hint [...]

Yebo Restaurant & Bar

Bunny Chow

That sounds so much nicer than chicken liver curry with peri-peri in a South African bread bowl.  Or, then again, does it?  No matter.  It doesn’t really matter what you call it.  We want to eat it.  This was a mildly spiced, rich and creamy curry with little [...]

Smoke & Stout Caramel Bar

We both love caramel… especially when the sweetness of it is toned down.

Here, deep dark caramel has complex, malty notes from the chocolate stout.  It works beautifully with the bitterness of the smoke.  And, there’s this perfectly tiny touch of salt.  That hint of salt works to highlight the [...]

Santa's Private Reserve Ale -- Rogue Ales

What are you putting out for Santa tonight?

We’re enjoying Santa’s Private Reserve Red Ale.  This double hopped red has plenty of toasty malt.  It’s rich with a deep bitter caramel flavor.  And, finishes with a spicy bite from the evergreen.  That hoppy spruce finish makes your tongue tingle with [...]

One Eared Stag

“Hot” Chicken

Two orders, both divinely hot and spicy.  We’ve tasted both Prince’s and 400 Degrees.  This was more reminiscent of 400 degrees with a hotter, slightly bitter hot pepper heat.  But, we would have licked our plates clean if we were animals.  So, yeah, this was pretty delicious “hot” [...]

The Optimist

Oysters, West Coast

Sweet and bursting with an incredible depth of flavor, we loved them.  These oysters are meant to be eaten as they are.  They’re just too good to be hidden under a mignonette or grated horeseradish.  Add a drop or two of lemon, if you must.
