Jose Cuervo Tequileria ~ Las Vegas, Nevada


Las Vegas airport. C gates in Terminal 1.

First visit: May 2022 

It appears they might have locations in Miami and Charlotte airports as well. Details are sketchy.

So it's finally time for the Official Niece's grand wedding. 2 years in the making with the pandemic as the sole reason for the delay. And the insane communist General Secretary Governor of California. More on the wedding in other posts. First stop - well a layover in Las Vegas, as Southwest doesn't fly direct to San Diego from Colorado Springs. We were looking for a light dinner, and maybe a new beer or two.

One can't expect much from an airport restaurant, and Tequileria made sure not to raise the bar. I think this airport purposely sandbags the restaurant scene so that you will spend your layover hours wasting away your money on slot machines. Gambling is not for Mr. and Mrs. RJG for just that reason - though at the prices we're paying here, we're still getting robbed. But they did have 2 beers from Tenaya Creek I hadn't tried, so that was one plus. We ordered chips and salsa, and they brought us a variety of 3 salsas, all of which were quite good. And the chips basket was very large and tasty at that. They get a check mark for that too. We also had a chicken quesadilla that we split. Mrs. RJG said the chicken was more like rooster. Ah well, they can do better, but I don't think they care. The audience is hostage, so don't complain too much. Considering some of our other options included hot dogs, this wasn't a bad alternative.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries ~ national chain : Colorado Springs, Colorado

Latest visit: Oct 2023 (Colorado Springs - Interquest) First visit: Jan 2007 (Reston, VA) Locations: 49 states + DC. Only Alaska is missing. There are 30 in Colorado (4 in the Springs). That's +3 from last year. Texas has 68 (our former locale of Southlake is closed, so Hurst would have been the closest). There are 123 in California which is their largest state presence. The original Reston location that I first went to is still going.  In what appears to be a recurring theme, I state each year this will be my last visit to Five Guys. Only to return anyway. This year's excuse is I wanted to try their new location, which very recently opened up close to our house. This is definitely the closest we've ever lived to a Five Guys - even the Reston location was further from my office at the time. And I thought maybe it would make a good choice for a weekday lunch while working from home, thus putting Five Guys back into the rotation. I put that idea to the test here this Saturda...

Denver's Old School Italian Restaurants

I know, I know... I haven't posted anything in 6 months. You were checking back every week, then every month and now I've fallen completely off your radar. Sorry about that. My only lame excuse is that I've been "saving up" for a good one. I've been wanting to write about Denver's Italian restaurants since we returned part-time last year. And you all know how the RJG feels about this style of restaurant . As someone who grew up in Dallas, perhaps I've been more drawn to cities that embrace their history rather than completely demolish it. Only recently has Dallas become more acutely aware of their past. Previously, any buildings not in use have been razed as fast as possible, to make way for the next brand new shopping center - all in the latest architecture naturally. Contrarily you have cities like St. Louis that are 19th and 20th century industrial ghost towns - places frozen in time because for most everyone who could, they just up and left to ...

Pietro's Italian ~ Dallas, Texas ***CLOSED***

Last visit: Feb 2016 First visit: Sometime in 1984 When Mr. Music told me this earlier in the year, my heart sunk. It was reason enough to stop talking and writing about restaurants. All I can say is this: We did give you advance notice. The below was published on  March 28, 2010 , so Pietro gave you a good 7 years to check it out. If you missed it, then I'm sorry to say there is no replacement. No other place like it. A part of me went with it too... January 2014 update: Pietro's is as magnificent as ever. Mrs RJG and I just had another exquisite meal here. It remains my all-time favorite restaurant even after 30 years of going here. I beg and urge you all to try it at least once if you have a hankering for Old School Italian food. I'm sure it will not be here forever. Pietro must be close to 80 now, and it's hard to imagine the restaurant without him. We try to go 3 to 4 times a year, almost always on a Saturday or Sunday because of the traffic to get to inner Dalla...
