I'd probably just skip the complications of banana and apricot beers. Hand me a bracing, cold Lone Star longneck on a 105 degree Dallas afternoon.

Low ratings due to "Obama overload" kicking in, most likely. Or maybe ABC started looking too much like state-run TV. Thank God for ESPN and The Weather Channel.

When I asked the barkeep at La Condesa why they did not have Lone Star beer, I got a lecture about "not wanting any American beers because we are Mexican" thing. I can understand keeping the CoorsMillerBudLight water wagon out, but hey,this is Texas and Lone Star is our thing.

With that 'tude, I knew they were short-timers in VicPlaza.

Not just in Arlington either. At my house today. Yep, they had their badges out.

Wonder what will happen to that great retro Siegel's sign? Maybe it'll get moved to another store, or else end up on Carl's Corner.

That political relic called the Wright amendment....like toenail fungus, you just can never get rid of it entirely.

As a foodie vet that haunted the Green Room, I welcome this addition to the East side of DFW. May the wine list get close attention, ergo, don't try Dallas steakhouse inflation, puhleeeze.

Hats off to an institution that is all about "doing" instead of "talking"!

yawwwwnnnn.

Too much plastic? Hey, its a relatively easy problem to solve - go back to returnable soda bottles and put a Brita filter on the tap.

It ain't rocket science, people.

Been bootlegging La Fee back from Europe for years. It gives a nasty hangover, for sure. But then again I wasn't having dainty drinks and snacks at Morton's either.
