This episode is a different twist to our normal reviews. We discuss the life of the late Anthony Bourdain after S read his famous book, " Kitchen Confidential Updated Edition: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly"

In this episode we discuss a new snack and wine pairing from wine sommelier Sam Capaldi https://www.instagram.com/samanthasommelier/ and review a favorite Houston based Tex- Mex restaurant, El Tiempo Cantina. DFW has one coming to Arlington in May. We discuss everything from the menu layout, history of fajitas, tortilla preferences and new favorite margaritas. This time we actually order dessert. IYKYK!

We’re each picking our top 5 best margaritas in Dallas so far! We dive into the history of the frozen margarita machine and also sign up for the Margarita Mile game, the self-guided tour headed up by Visit Dallas, to expand our knowledge and palates. Salt, sugar, and Tajin rims come into question, but we’ll probably drink it anyways (as long as there’s a straw in the goblets at Katy Trail Ice House). Cheers!
