He was irritating, to be sure. Where do they get these guys?

Of course, the demo sandwich might have been called a

So I'm here at Ellen and Joel's, and they have cable, so at
11:30 we turned on the box, only it was preset to Larry King,
who had Ringo and Paul on, so we watched that instead. I had
to stay up until 2:30 to see the show, and you know what, it
wasn't nearly worth it.

 DD> There were three joints on this episode. I will be sure to try the
 DD> Tecolote Cafe next time I am in Santa Fe.

Posted here March 2006:

Surprisingly, Carol was hungry for lunch, so we made the
obligatory stop at the renowned Tecolote Cafe, where we
were helped by a pleasant enough waiter who unfortunately
looked as though he had just jumped off a Dia de los
Muertos t-shirt. Carol's sheepherder's breakfast - potatoes
topped with green chile and eggs - was pretty ordinary,
except that the chile was quite hot. I think that she was
swayed by Michael Stern's gushing encomium to the dish,
else she'd have got something more interesting. I tasted
her food and opined that it was probably just like the
89 cent tax included breakfast at the casino down the way,
and she sort of nodded. Except that the 89c breakfast comes
with meat. I wasn't hungry but ordered a side of carne
adovada and a side of chicken livers ($4 something each).
The meat was pretty standard, a small (about 4 oz) serving,
fairly spicy, too lean. The chicken livers were out, so I
substituted a cup of green chile and a tortilla ($1 and
change), which was nice and hot. No alcohol here, so I had
the closest thing, root beer. It was a cheap meal, but we
didn't eat much, either.

 DD> Title: Springfield Horseshoe Sandwich
 DD> 8 oz (to 12) meat(s) *

More meat, for sure, especially if you deviate from the
original salty ham. Of course, for you folks it's all
about the chizz, isn't it.
