posted by RL Reeves Jr in Can't Be Categorized

The most famous strawberry in Texas, and therefore the USA is preparing to take the main stage in the garden spot of Atascosa County: Poteet, Texas on the second weekend of April .

Established way back in 1948 as an incentive for Texas servicemen to return to their lives as farmers after mustering out of the military, the strawberry party sees 1000s of people turn out pumping an estimated 10 million dollars into the south Texas economy!

Hornswoggled! Flim Flam Man Michael Angelo Carrion Outwits Wholly Cow And Ruby Thai Kitchen

Apr 1

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Can't Be Categorized

Reading on the KHOU website they're reporting that confidence man Michael Angelo Carrion is using the old "pretend to be a fire safety equipment inspector and hustle the manager on duty out of a few hundred bucks" trick.

Works every time.

Carrion strolled into Wholly Cow on Congress Avenue and straight pulled the wool over the manager's eyes before walking out almost two hundred dollars richer.

He also hornswoggled Ruby Thai Kitchen out of nearly $600.

Smooth talker.

Apparently Carrion is on a multi-state fire inspector confidence scam spree and needs to be stopped before slow-witted managers can be fooled again.

He's also wanted in Atlanta among other states.

If you spot the corpulent con man get in touch with law enforcement but do not engage the silver tongued devil as he's apparently quite fluid for a big man.

Austin Texas Brisket Wars Part 2: The Stallion vs Stiles Switch

Mar 31

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Barbecue

When was the last time you had brisket so bad it threatened to put you off barbecue for a minimum of one year and potentially a lifetime? If you want to relive that feeling, motor on up to The Stallion, the venerable Airport Blvd meat n 3 that recently served me a brisket sandwich so bad I wanted to bring in Terry Funk from Amarillo to wipe the floors with their sorry excuse for a pit boss.

Rebooting our contest gimmick. Rasheel, winner of " Name This Austin Landmark And We'll Buy You A Margarita At El Gallo" with his guess of El Taco Rico never came forward to claim his prize.

You know you run with a rough bunch when a promise of free booze isn't enough to accomplish the hang.

Title says it all. Tell us where this famous Austin landmark is located and we'll meet up with you and buy you a margarita at one of the few places in Austin we've ever been thrown the fuck out of. Story's on the internet btw.

Rasheel guessed correctly. Can you? No cheating http://www.scrumptiouschef.com/food/index.cfm/2013/3/17

Mar 29

posted by RL Reeves Jr in Can't Be Categorized

The plot thickens at Zed's, the awful, shuttered North Austin restaurant that had a multi-year run in spite of routinely putting out food that beggared the imagination.

Lone Star Fugitive Task Force swooped in on Jacob Hilbert and wife Lynda Kaye Hilbert in North Austin last night.

The Hilbert's had been on the run from North Carolina where they stand accused of embezzling over 100k from Ends Meat LLC (Manna Restaurant.)

Jacob Hilbert had been celebrated in Wilmington, first at Tango du Chat, and Santa Fe New Mexico at A La Mesa restaurant prior to his "mysterious disappearance"
