Kennedy wrote it up today. https://www.instagram.com/captainlafishchick/ About to smash the $8 Purple Frog deal here again shortly. The joint he opened in was originally a Sambo’s. It’s an old nasty building. I tried it after he opened and he was selling swai, then added real catfish, then says now just catfish. I don’t trust the dude. Some reviewers said they got swai when they ordered catfish. I got chicken instead of fucking swai. It was average. anyway if you’re in that area just go to Catfish Sam’s right down the street. It’s still very good. in Mansfield is a newish place called Bob’s Chicken and Seafood. Debbie Ln at Matlock next to Kroger. The chicken is outstanding, as good as Mikes in Dallas. Excellent huge fried shrimp and tasty fried oysters. Catfish not swai. And fried chicken skin and chicken cracklings (skin with some meat) should be sold by the dump truck. check it out.

May 6May 6 Palio’s Bryant Irvin has moved to Vickery in that little strip center next to Walmart by SW Blvd. Not digging their chances there. Landlord has been forcing people out of that BI strip, not sure who he’s planning on replacing them with.
May 6May 6 The same strip center that has/had a Cuban pizza shop and gilligans pizza has added Palio’s? #hammockdistrict
May 6May 6 Appears they moved into Gilligan's. Never knew a soul that ate there, & that's my hood. Palio's dining room on BI was fairly nice, can't imagine it looks similar on Vickery.
May 9May 9 He’s too ornery to get kilt like that. It’ll be some old biker hag stabs him in the parking lot of Maxine’s with a rusty pair of needlenose pliers
May 9May 9 Blue cheese burger at Tommy’s is good shit. That Riscky’s actually had a decent HH way back in the fucking day. Still not 100% if Maxine’s version 2 is open or not, never see any vehicles.

May 15May 15 @Herbie Hancock, are my girls at Pearl’s still kickin’? Ain’t been out that way in a minute.
May 15May 15 [mention=5553]Herbie Hancock[/mention], are my girls at Pearl’s still kickin’? Ain’t been out that way in a minute. Pearls Cherokee? It’s been a minute since the last time I was down on that end of Division after dark, but the lights were on and there was a half dozen old farts outside smoking like it was their last cigarette.
May 15May 15 Man, Palio's has NO shot at that Vickery location. Fucking tiny inside. Little cashier girl said their BI landlord raised rent 30%. Sucks too, they've never served me a bad pizza.
May 15May 15 I got half King half Scorcher a few weeks ago from the one in Azle and it fuckin slapped. Cheesesticks were less than ideal, but that’s about like bitching about the beer choices at Flashdancer

May 16May 16 ^ They currently have an insurance office, two empty spots, & a Cuban joint named QBola. Anyone seeing that is immediately going to think Ebola, not ideal.

Pearls is still good for a cold beer on a hot day as it’s dark in there and the ac is cold. The crowd is mostly geriatric.
May 17May 17 An old friend had his funeral at University Christian Church on Friday. Those giant bells played The Eyes of Texas for him. Pretty cool.
May 19May 19 That adios pantalones is actually the only brew from Rahr that I’ve ever liked. Damn tasty after three hours of mowing
May 19May 19 Author More light beer for Fear! Rahr is closing, I may actually swing by tomorrow. Are they permanently closing?

Quote “Chopped” TV winner Ben Merritt is about a month from opening a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant, The Fitzgerald, at 6115 Camp Bowie Blvd. near the Ridglea Theater in the Village at Camp Bowie. The Fitzgerald will offer broiled, grilled and roasted seafood, including broiled oysters three ways, he said. The price point will be lower than prime steakhouses and should fit the Ridglea market, with an inexpensive lunch, Merritt said. Known for his Fixture Kitchen restaurant, Merritt said he will reopen the back bar area and patio built years ago for the long-gone Cafe Aspen. Restaurants must improve at service, he said. “People are anxious to go out, and they’ve put up with a lot — they’re still putting up with a lot,” he said. “We want to put the emphasis back on service.” On 1/7/2022 at 10:04 PM, shadow_operative2.0 said: Fitzgerald in the Frost Bank lot. They gone. I blame Fear.
May 20May 20 Quote Pizza Verde is the most talked-about new pizza restaurant, serving all-plant-based pizzas on a choice of a regular or cauliflower crust. Plant-based pepperoni or mozzarella might not suit everybody, but they’re easier to gobble down, and the cauliflower crust is a hit. It’s open nights and all day Friday and Saturday at 5716 Locke Ave., 817-349-9852, pizzaverdetx.com. They gone. I blame Como & vegans.
May 20May 20 Something made me look up Mama's BI lunch buffet the other day. $15 w/drink, that's a little ridiculous.
May 20May 20 Something made me look up Mama's BI lunch buffet the other day. $15 w/drink, that's a little ridiculous. CiCis is $8.99 at 8th Ave. location, and something like $10.99-$11.99 with a drink depending on the extra cost.
May 20May 20 BI Mama's is probably their worst one. Razzoo's has a bunch of $11 deals, give me that shit every time.

May 20May 20 BI Mama's is probably their worst one. Razzoo's has a bunch of $11 deals, give me that shit every time. Agreed. The Bud article also said Pizza Verde closed? I pick up Szechuan next door once or twice a month and I have never seen that place open. It looked like the locks had been changed for a year plus in there.
May 20May 20 Scroll up 5 whole posts. That explains it! Vegans don't eat lunch I guess, and they mostly come out at night... mostly.
