Kabuki is huge with a variety of dining areas. One could take in the Texas heat on the beautiful outdoor area, be entertained by a…More »

Before starting the road trip to Marfa I reconciled that there will be no sushi in my diet for the next 4 days.
Then for dinner on our last night stay, we discovered the Uchi of Marfa. Beautiful modern decor, great service, lovely food, overall the…More »
Oh the childhood memories of sneaking off the bus a few stops before the middle school drop off and bolting off to Bult's. They serve locally made Sun Drop in the glass bottle (I promise it is better that way) and they have the best cream filled…More »
After a good fill of fun Chicago dive bars, I was ready for a nice glass of wine. I did a Yelp search and Francesca's quickly pulled up. We walked in, it was nice but the typical restaurant bar atmosphere.

There was a 30 minute wait, this could only be a good sign that this was the place to get some pie. Be prepared…More »
Seeking a quick bite to eat that was not super expensive in Marfa on a Sunday is not the easiest of tasks. We wondered into Padres big spacious bar to find stools on the tables except for a few at the bar that were occupied. The owner exclaimed "we…More »
