RJG 2017 recap

Alrighty then... From the time I dropped the Howdy note until now, I've updated all the places we visited in 2017.

I've created a new feature for each year - see the page above for the RJG's 2017 recommendations. This will my way of tracking all restaurants, and ensuring pages don't go unread.

There were a few places we went for the first time in 2017 that we thoroughly enjoyed, but I didn't put a page up yet. I need to revisit the following:

Roscoe's Smokehouse (Keller)
Lucy's Lot (Grapevine)
Slim Chickens (Keller)
El Pollo Loco (Keller) - well we'd been here plenty of times before, but not in DFW!

Planet Sub - I was excited to tell you about this sandwich place. I had been a frequent visitor to their location in Denver many years ago (which has now closed), and was excited to see them here in DFW. So I went to the one in Irving earlier this year and it was great! And now it's closed too. Argh. They are still open in Fort Worth though.

And, of course, we would be remiss if we didn't discuss former RJG entries that closed in 2017 (or 2016). The following are no longer with us:

Del Taco - Left NE Tarrant a couple years back, but has exited DFW altogether now
Jimboy's Tacos (Irving) Like Del Taco, the chain exists, but they are no longer in DFW.
Bellisimo (Colleyville) The RJG's very first restaurant post!
Gold-In Chinese (Keller)
El Paseo (Keller)
Pietro's (Dallas) A dagger to the heart
Burrito Jimmy (Irving) There is a location near Love Field that we can still try.
Agave Azul (Carrollton)
Tacos y Mas (Keller) Still open in Dallas and Richardson (5 locations)
Las Pinatas (Fort Worth) We didn't care for this one actually, but it's closed now.
Bangkok Cuisine (Haltom City) Under new ownership, and it is different. We will start a new post for them if warranted.
TPR Burger (Watauga)
