christmas time is here

and man, this morgan blunk column has the world up in arms. thoughts?

i kind of laughed at the fact that people actually created a facebook group about her. man, celeb status. if celebrity death match were still around, i would half expect to see her claymation replica battling a swarm of angry tcu women folk via mtv boxing ring mayhem.

in other news, the tcu tree lighting was last night, and i didn't get a damn candle again this year. i did, however, consume a couple of rock hard cookies and hot chocolate... and that glass or two of wine that i'd had prior to the ceremony encouraged me to buy a t-shirt. oh tcu, you know how to rip me off when i'm vulnerable.

T-giving in the 'Worth

I'm fortunate enough to have a few days off for Thanksgiving, so I'll be headed to see my parents (and eat their divine amalgamation of foods). However, I know many who won't be getting a home-cooked meal for Turkey Day. Therefore, as a public service, I'm asking The Fort Worthian's readers and writers to share their picks for Thanksgiving restaurants. Best turkey, best stuffing, best use of canned cranberry sauce or even best pumpkin pie-flavored cocktail: Let us know the best place to spend the holiday.

Buffalo Bros.

My friend, Lake, and I headed down to TCU's Restaurant Row last night to check out Buffalo Bros. We used the walk-up window and ordered a slice of pizza each from a very nice, very cute waitress. Lake got chicken and onion, and I picked meatball. After that, she offered another slice each for free (great marketing). He picked cheese, and I picked pepperoni.

Full disclosure time: My favorite pizza is Perrotti's, and I'm a sucker for doughy dough, including deep-dish. Lake's a die-hard Mama's fan. Now you know where we're coming from.

For the review, click the jump.

Me: The meatball pie was good stuff. It tasted like a gyro pizza. The crust had good texture and thickness. As for the pepperoni, it was nothing too special, except that it had a ton of pepperonis on top. And lots of grease.

Lake: Chicken and onion was spicy and good, but Lake likes his pizza a little flatter. He tossed the crust into the storm drain. After that, he tried the cheese and threw half of it into the trash.

The verdict: If you're hungry while you're hanging out at the Pub, and Fuzzy's is booked solid, check it out, but don't make a special trip across town. Each slice is $3, which is a little high for my tastes, especially when Joe's sells cheaper, better 'za by the slice just a couple blocks away.

The inside of the place looks like a nicer version of Texadelphia, the storefront's previous inhabitant. TV's are prominently placed, and there's a bar with several beers on tap. It looks like a fun place to hang out.

If anybody tries anything other than pizza, post it!

Red Cactus and The Ginger Man II

Although Carla didn't find Red Cactus too inspiring, I'm a fan. I've been twice and although I forgot the name of the first thing I got, the quesadilla I had last night was awesome.

The place is owned by a couple from Mexico. They're about as friendly as can be, and they're hoping that their first restaurant is a success. I'd recommend that everyone check it out. It's on University near the Pub.

Oh, and they have free Wi-Fi Internet.

For my Ginger Man update, click the jump:

The Ginger Man is dog-friendly! Yup, as long as Fido's on a leash and has up-to-date shots, go ahead and bring him in. Now all your best friends can enjoy the G-Man's awesomeness.
