To the customer that decided to come in to our café, buy the kitchen a bottle of wine, and tip generously on top of that, thank you! Way, way above and beyond the call of duty.
Things like this go a long way to restore our faith in humanity.
I promise, we will enjoy the wine!

I love taco’s. More specificially, I love Taco’s Al Pastor, that delectible Mexico City street food tradition. Not that I have ever been to Mexico City.
I have been checking out a new mexi joint at Central and Lowry called Adelita’s quite a little bit, and it seems pretty solid.
Decent molé, tasty salsa, and nice carnitas and tacos al pastor. Polle en adobo is pretty rightous.
Check it out, and let me know if you think it stacks up!

The 112 Eatery just does not mess around. They are, as they might say in the dark alleys around the world, playing for keeps.
Any nay-sayers? Read the following:
All I have to say is Tagliatelle with Foie Gras Meatballs.
I recommend rereading the previous sentence a few times. Then, do not pass go, do not collect $200, and get down to the 112 Eatery and order the f*** out of this. Sit back and wait, as nirvana approaches.
Oh yea, we also had something called Blue Prawns with Rooster Mayo, perfectly breaded with the fluffiest breading I have laid eyes and mouth on. Sent out with a very nice and just a little picante dipping sauce.
Lamb Scottadito was not bad. Really, it was very very good. But come on, served with foie gras meatballs, it did not stand a chance.
I love this place. All that food totaled $33 bucks, by the way. Not to shabby!

Yum!
We treated ourselves to some lunch at Tum Rup Thai the other day, and boy am I glad we did.
Outstanding. Seriously. I mean, YUM.
I love life in NE, but sometimes I get sad from the lack of variety. Sure, we have tons of Mexi, but not all of it is good. We also have lots of middle eastern foods, but the lack of beer does sometimes get in the way.

Dara talks about her favorite stuff. She even mentions our own Modern Café as having provided her with one of her top 10 meals of 2006! Cool! This is awesome coming from someone that eats about a babillion times a year.
