Alright, I was able to get tickets for Sunday. I'd be up for meeting at Adrift for a drink on that Friday. They open at 4:00pm during the winter and I work nearby.

Anyone want to do a mug trade? I've got a bunch of cool doubles and am always looking to get anything I don't have. Just a thought.

As far as Casa Bonita, here is my theory on surviving the food. I used to think it was the hamburger meat that caused the distress but I have a new theory.

I think it is a combination of sugary margaritas, too much low grade nacho cheese and too many sopapillas. To that end, skip any tropical drink and instead go for the tall boy of PBR. It is odd, I know, that PBR is supposed to help your stomach in this case. Next, I like the #2 Green Chile Burrito with NO CHEESE - the kid at the front will probably get this wrong; you'll know you've done it right if they tell you your meal will be brought to the table (which they do for allergy meals). The fajita's are an okay option without having to special order but it is more expensive and not as good). Finally, only eat between one and six sopapillas.

I have the intestinal fortitude of an ill-bred dog and have had absolutely no problems with the food the last three or four trips using these rules.

YMMV, but at this point, I actually kind of like the #2 - the beans have a nice smokey flavor.

And thanks for all the coverage of Casa Bonita, Hakalugi, you've done a good job of capturing the feel of the place for people who haven't/can't get there.
