Tacos, Tacos, Tacos, Tacos - Austin, TX

Greetings brothers. I hope this finds you well. Perhaps you are bellied up to your favorite watering hole. Or perhaps you are balls deep in you wolf. Hell, maybe you're at work reading this shit.

So I went to Austin this week for "work". I did work alright... on tacos. Tacos, also know as the Alternate Currency, are important and I'm pissed. There are, literally, taco shops on every corner and are generally legit as fuck. LR has nothing that could hold a match to the taco swag in Austin. I'm not hatin on LR, I'm just hatin on the lack of Taco Joints in our Hood.

You want to be a millionaire? Sell a million tacos. You want to be a zillionaire? Sell a zillion tacos. You want to be my new best friend? Go to Austin, visit the top 5 taco shops, rip them off and make a taco and beer shop in Little Rock.

We can sustain a business of this nature.

BTW, People from Boston are big pussies.

Loca Luna is effing cra good yo

Look Son. I'm not fucking playing. All you haters who doubted me can suck it Stone Cold 3:16 style.

Last Friday I was super romantic and what not, and took SheWolf out on the town. I was going to surprise her but she demanded I spill the beans so she dressed appropriately. To her delight we were headed to Loca Luna.

She had never eaten there so she had no idea what to expect. Immediately she liked the atmosphere. We had a small wait to be seated so we bellied up to the bar for a cold round. She got an Apple Martini. APPLE FUCKING MARTINI. I'm not hating, I'm just saying. We were then seated.

Our waitress was hipsteresque and had an admirable piece of ink on her left arm. You gotta love State pride. Bottle service you pricks, yeah that's what happened next. Then appetizers. Holy smokes, crawfish and shrimp in a subtle spicy sticky sauce. It was THAT good.

Now for the entrees. She got trout stuffed with lobster and potato's. I got pork assa buko. I know you genius bros reading this are cursing my spelling because I don't know how to spell the pork dish. It doesn't matter, it should have been called Pork AWESOME Bucko!

It was an awesome dinner. I can't wait to get back there in the spring to pop bottles on that swag patio. F Yeah Patios.

Bleu Monkey - Hot Springs

Team, our neighbors to the South in Hot Springs has got a Bar and Grill worth your logical time. It's Called Bleu Monkey. It has no relation to Blue Monkey in Memphis. 

Bleu Monkey has a lot of TVs and great bar food. I mean shit team, they might be geniuses. These brainiacs got the bright idea to fry mac and cheese. OMFG BBQ. Speaking of BBQ I got some on a burger, slaw included.

If you have time post Oaklawn, got there and get the fried mac balls. Think twice about the BBQ burger, they should leave BBQ to Whole Hog and keep on killing the bar food appetizers.

Hollar.

Stickyz Y'all

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, Sticky Fingerz Rock N Roll Chicken Shack is legit son.

Fried Chicken, tons of dipping sauces, and one of my favorite biscuits... that's what you get. Then the food engineers thought, "Hay you's guys, let's dump these chickenz in tortillas." they did it and it is awesome. They also roll great beer specials monthly, I'm talking $2 pints. Not BL and ML but craft beer.

If you want great fried chicken and good beer, take that ass to Stickyz. Downtown fool.

Root Cafe, Home of Evil Geniuses and a Nasty Good Burger

Back in the day, 2010, I was working in the beer biz over at the local brewery Diamond Bear. As the only production brewery in the State, we got a lot of visitors and even more interesting beer talk.

Some of my favorite customers include a leathersmith biker, an off the grid gold bug, and a ton of beer nerds. Mixed in with all those customers were a ton of restaurateurs. Back then an up and coming caterer would visit us often for kegs of root beer. He always told me about his aspirations to have a sit down restaurant and by God, he made it happen.

Fast forward to now, Jack Sundell is that caterer with big dreams and also he's an Evil Genius. He's opened his restaurant and it's nasty good. This dude sources as much of his goods local as possible. The map below shows all the sources and locations around the State.

I ordered the Swiss Cheeseburger fully loaded and side salad came with it. The bun was made fresh from across the street at Boulevard Bread. Top it off with a South of the Border Coca-Cola. You gotta do a few things team, namely go to Root Cafe and order exactly what I got and also quit giving fucks. Think positive y'all.

Can I get some burger with that grease?

Wolves. Do you have standards? Rarely do I say "Yes, I have standards fool.", but today I must talk about standards.

Let's go over some things where standards are relevant: Babes, Booze, Burgers. That's pretty much it. That's all that matters. Live by this my friends, you won't be disappointed.

This brings me to a relevant point, Burgers.

ARKANSAS BURGER COMPANY

I was eating there this weekend with Shewolf. We ordered obligatory burgers. This was her first ABC burger in many years so she opted for the Cheeseburger.

She said "Can I get some burger with this grease?" The burger was sopping wet and fell apart. "Can I get a knife and fork for this thing? They should blend this thing up and serve it on a taco."

She's brilliant.

I ordered the Cap City Burger, shrooms+Swiss. Mine also fell apart but the flavor was on. I've got mixed feelings.

If you dig greasy as f burgers then this is for you. I think I'm good on ABC for a while, at least until Q4.

Final thought: Reinvest in the exterior. This place has zero curb appeal, the paint is chipping and the awning is tattered. C'mon management.

Cheeseburger first.
Cap City second.

My last meal of 2011 was obviously Mexican

What can i say? It was NYE and the o ly last minute dinner reservation in town was Cantina Laredo aka Overpriced Burrito Cafe. While this was not atop my list of food joints for the New Year celebration, I had no choice or input because I waited til the last moment, procrastinated, and waited on She Wolf to do the leg work. So a burrito would suffice. It isn't like I divorced burritos. I'm madly in love with verde sauce and corn tortillas.

The wrecking crew arrived 45 minutes late yet scantily clad. Dapper you might say. Luckily a few patriots arrived on one and got the table on lock down. Tall strong margs? Yes please. Tequila shots? Yes please. Mas cervezas? Fuck yes please.

Congrats to Beth for making a facial on the blog.

We ordered nachos that looked like Van Gogh shat on a plate. Beautiful craftsmanship. Chicken enchiladas arrived smothered in cheese with a dribble of green sauce. I ordered enchiladas Verde and they put carrots on top. CARROTS. I REPEAT: THEY PUT CARROTS ON MY FUCKING ENCHILADAS VERDE. whatever. They gouged us but it didn't matter because it was NYE. No fucks were to be given.

For the record, my first meal of 2012 was Waffle House hashbrowns "All the Way" gravy and chili style.

Kiss me I'm Irish

It was cold evening in late December. The only thing that could warm my soul was copious amounts of Smithwicks and Irish fare. That's what I did and in sticking to it. In talking about my favorite Irish Pub in town, Dugans. I was in an authentic mood so I ordered Corned Beef and Cabbage. I almost forgot about the Irish Beef Stew to start the meal. The stew was hearty and steaming hot upon arrival.  The corned beef reminded me of pot roast and the cabbage was tender.

The kitchen vent was broken which made for a smoky meal. Lastly the floor was sticky as fuck. Mop the floor and fix the fan.

Culinary Hybrid Arts

I spend a lot of time thinking about hybrid food and what not. In fact, I would consider myself a thought leader in the culinary hybrid arts.

Naturally I'm on the lookout for genius hybrids out there. I was in Conway with Cal and Vick Williams, they've been raving about Layla's and how we've got to eat there. I've covered Layla's in Little Rock many times but never Conway, so I was a bit skeptical. Confession time. I've only had sandwiches and plates at Layla's never the pizza. You might have an idea of where this is going.

I was scanning the menu determined to get something besides that pitaful  Chicken Shwarma. Wuala. Pepperoni Gyro pizza? Don't mind if I do. Hybrid Emeril Einstein. I feel like a loser for not thinking of this unicorn. It was delightful. Generous amount of meat and cheese sans red sauce. Tzatziki? You betcha said Sarah Palin.

Cal got a serious calzone don't get all jelly belly. Look at these pics.

Do work son.

Gypsies in the Rock - FML

Wolves, you are probably aware of my disdain for raggamuffins, scalawags, and gypsies. In fact, gypsies as a people are generally known for stealing silverware and whorish lifestyles. Not that there's anything wrong with whorish lifestyles, I'm simply just saying. If you're as dumb as I hope you are then you're probably having silverware stolen right as you read this AND you didn't know there's a gypsy camp downtown. But WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This gypsy bunker is also home to some crunk ass food. No, I'm not talking about grape soda and hot fries, I'm talking about next level burgers and sandwitches you wanna stick your dick in between. Now before you start calling me a pussy for tossing salads and what not, let me give you the skinny on this place called Dizzy's.

It's a block from Sticky Fingerz so you'd consider it a proud member of the Rivermarket. A great porch greats patrons and passerbys. This porch screams Gin. I understand the patio isn't always the place to be but don't worry, step inside and you won't be upset. Folk art and wonderful aromas fill the air. This isn't a place you have to worry about cutlery running off either. Drinks are made strong here.

Now to the salads:
Caprese Salad
Turkey lime something salad
Chips and dip
Baked potato - artichokes involved

Go here. Eat here. Tip well.

Tell me what you think.

Grady's Grinder - Only shidiots don't eat this

Team, we've got a winner. I love taking wolves to local food joints where they've never eaten. Enter Grady's. It's on 12th Street, maybe Mississippi, next to Joubert's, the other dive bar you've never patronized. I went to Grady's a few years back when I was slinging beer. I remembered the Grinder being a next level sandwich. My memory is on point. The Grinder is one of the bossest sandwiches in town. It's got your favorite meats with all the fixings you'd imagine served on an awesome onion roll. You think you know but you have no idea. Did you know Wolf Queens love pizza? Grady's got that too. "This is one of the best pizzas in town." - Clank in response to her first slice of Grady's Surpreme Pizza. Google map this place. Go there. Eat a bunch. I promise you'll dig it, unless you're some kind of pussy.

Beef O Brady's Wing Challenge

V_2a81

Team I've learned a few things recently. Namely hot wing eating challenges are probably a challenge for a reason. So I was at Beef O Brady's in Conway Tuesday and my "friend" Nick is behind the bar. He'd been bragging about completing the challenge a few weeks earlier. He challenged me to try it that might. I accepted. Eff that guy. I nearly choked to death. I completed the challenge, 15 wings in 15 minutes. I also shat fire for 3 days. I also shat black shit. Cal told me that's blood. I'm worried. Later y'all.

Whale Fire at WWT Thursday

You can all go to hell, I'm going to White Water.

Las Palmas - Conway just got crunkerer

Wp_000052

Team, this is it. I know you like Mexican food and cheap azz cerveza, here's you golden as fuck ticket to win. Las Palmas, sure it's in a shopping center. Sure the fluorescent lighting is non conducive to crunkness but the prices, and more importantly, TACOS don't lie. Take your hatin ass down there. Its in that shopping center off Oak Street, you know by Best Buy. Shouldn't be hard to find.

Corn Tortilla
Beef Tacos

FWLR - Sekisui and their Bomb Ass Christmas decor

The sushi bros were on point last night. They busted out a Godzilla Roll and Tuna Lover that Jackie Chan would be proud of. They really know how to get jazzed about the holidays. Check out the candy cane. THAT CANDY CANE. That's the only decoration in the restaurant. Sushi = awesome. Decorations = awesome. Fuck WLR.

New Juanita's Y'all

There's been at least three restaurants in Juanita's new home since I moved to LR back in 2007. It's downtown, it's in a hole, and it's off the beaten path. You could say South Main Street is that much worse now that Juanita's has packed up shop and moved to the Rivermarket. As for Juanita's, it was alright. The cheese dip is still righteous, and their prices are still high. I'm talking $9 for a small fish burrito rice and beans. It isn't like I'm not willing to fork 10 bones outta my tightwad hands, I'd be happy to do that, the kicker is I expect crunk portions. The portions weren't that crunk. The burrito was pretty dang good. I added japs cause it's my obligation to the Order.   Clank had a quesadilla, not that crunk either. Y'all. The chips and dip are dope, save yo cash and hit up Riviera Maya of you want Mexican. FMLR.

Hoodrat Ass Mexican Food

Y'all know we be chowin down on some brurritos and what not. For real. So my hatin ass room mate came home the other night after a crunk as eff session at the UAMS library. He was all like, "Look son, you gots to get down on this Mexican junt." I was all "Aw hell naw, what you talking bout?" "Riviera Maya bitch!" he said. This poser ass mofo was right. That shit is legit and dank as funk. Me and Clank hit that shit up last night. It's right next to the nastiest La Quinta in town, that makes sense right? The food was righteous. I got enchiladas Verde, Clank had tamales. Oye. You must be hating and salivating. Feast your stupid eyes below.
