Ms. Karen and I had planned to visit Bisbee months ago in early 2023, but things happened and we couldn’t make it. At that time, she asked me to make a reservation at a new restaurant she had just heard of called the Copper Pig in the Warren District just … Continue reading
In mid-May 2023, Ms. Karen and I, along with recent Tucson friends (they just moved here from Oregon), Linda and Gus, had lunch at Augustin Kitchen on their patio. Ms. Karen had known these friends since her college days. As it turned out, this was a “Thank You” lunch. They … Continue reading
On a Friday in early May 2023, Neighbor Roy, friend Gus, aka Stephen, and I set off to dine at the Blue Willow. None of us had been there in years, certainly long before the latest pandemic. Besides, I had been hankering for pancakes lately and figured Blue Willow would … Continue reading
On a Sunday in mid-December, 2022, Ms. Karen, Neighbor Roy, and I visited Mojo Cuban Kitchen at Grant Road and Campbell in Tucson. We arrived at noon, and the parking lot was already packed. But one of the cars pulled out just as we arrived, so we parked right by … Continue reading
Neighbor Roy and I went to Agustin Kitchen on a Friday in November 2021. It was a busy place and took a while to get menus. No surprise. The pandemic has hit restaurants hard lately and servers are hard to come by. When we were served, I ordered calamari to … Continue reading
On a Friday afternoon in mid-October, 2021, Neighbor Roy, friend Stephen (who is staying in our casita), and I traveled to downtown to enjoy lunch at La Cocina (aka LaCo and Tallboys). We arrived at about 12:30 PM and the place was busy. Jo Schnieder, the owner, cleared a table … Continue reading
On a Friday in early September, 2021, Neighbor Roy and I had lunch at the Garden Bistro at Tohono Chul Park. For the uninitiated, Tohono Chul is one of at least 4 Botanical Gardens in Tucson. I had reviewed this restaurant some years before when we were doing our Best … Continue reading
It’s July in Tucson, and HOT. So Neighbors Ron and Elaine along with Ms. Karen and myself, took off for Sonoita, an hour southeast and 10 degrees cooler. Sonoita is a crossroads to Patagonia, Tombstone, Wineries and Parker Canyon Lake. There has not been much else there for years except … Continue reading
On an afternoon in mid-November, Neighbor Roy & I went to lunch at Agustin Kitchen. By no coincidence, I had a $25 gift card to spend there. We arrived at 12:30 pm and the place was not at all crowded. Had it been, it would have been pretty noisy as … Continue reading
Neighbor Roy invited me out to lunch but gave me the choice of restaurant. I chose 5 Points because I had heard good things about it and had never been there. Two good reasons, right? We arrived about noon and the place was hopping. We got the last available table. … Continue reading
