    Friday, October 1, 2021 On my fifth visit to The Station, I finally got the menu item I first wanted to try nearly a year ago — their short rib sandwich. Maybe having to wait and having to try every other sandwich was preemptive penance, I discovered how excellent all the others were. Anyway this…

  • Tesoro’s Smashburger

    I’ve rarely seen a chef or sous chef put a burger together in any place except grill cooks like those you see in your favorite joint. Everything is prepped and the burger patty especially.

    Lunch – Thursday, September 9, 2021 https://www.kahloveratacos.com/ https://www.kahloveratacos.com/ I have friends who insist that specific sandwiches aren’t what they should be unless made with the best possible bread, otherwise they’re not done right, and the bread also must be freshly baked by the sandwich maker “or a baker who bakes specifically for them.
