517 E 6th St Austin, TX 78701 (512) 469-9330 www.casinoelcamino.net Casino El Camino has been on my list since LAST YEAR, ever since the boyfriend sang it praises and my learning that it was featured by Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

This week’s Friday Food Definition is inspired by my trip to Friar Tuck’s Pantry last weekend. One of our book club members ordered coffee and the coffee they brought him is French Press coffee. Since then, I’ve asked a few of my friends about it and though none of them have had it, they say [...]
10890 Westheimer Rd Houston, TX 77042 (713) 953-7237 http://cafepita.weebly.com The last time I was in Houston, Cindy was saddened she couldn’t take part of progressive lunch so we gave her reins to pick out a place for dinner.
