Post subject:  Hoob's reviews of eateries that nobody cares about

My wife and I sometimes try to pick new places to eat. Most of the time we end up in separate bathrooms at home, pooping out the results.

Today we tried Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Denton. They have two such places in Foat Wuth, so I guess it's nearly a chain.

On the plus side, food was good, they actually put some effort into the tacos, and the sides were good.

The negatives were, it was too expensive ($1.85 for a soft drink), no hots were working there, it was a sports bar atmosphere, and all the furniture was wood. It looked like something I made in the ag shop when I was a kid.

Other interesting items. As is my custom, I carried my Glock in, and there were at least a dozen law enforcement types there eating. I guess I didn't have to do that. Also, the cashier, if cleaned up properly, would have been really attractive. Alas, she had three tattoos on her hand, another on her arm, and looked like she had been on somebody's webcam show until 5:00 this morning.

I think I'll say thumbs up for Fuzzy's Taco Shop. They have a website, http://www.fuzzystacoshop.com.

Fuzzys is good, but I can go to a tacqueria down the street and get something better for half the price. You should try the burritos.

That's a good way of putting it.

Back in the eighties, I used to work for Oshman's Sporting Goods. I was shocked when we sold every damned box of ammo on December 31. I was so naive that somebody had to explain to me that all of my brown brothers were going to shoot that stuff off at midnight.

Lately my attempts to try Mexican food have not been good, and many of them have ended up with hard sprints to the restroom. I don't see how places can mess up Mexican food, but we have found a few lately that did.

Saturday we played way out in Sachse, and I noticed a restaurant called Asado's nearby, so we went there before the gig.

The food was good. I had tacos al carbon, and they gave me plenty to eat. They also didn't ruin it by putting sour cream all over it. In fact, it wasn't anywhere on my plate. Sour cream on Mexican food was made for white people to eat and is not a part of authentic Mexican food.

They had a page of expensive foods on one spread (two pages) of the menu, and they had more traditional pricing on another spread. I was able to eat my meal and drink two beers for $16, which is good.

Most of the female wait staff was cute, and they were all friendly.

Thumbs up to Asado's in Sexy Sachse.

I live like 5 miles from that place and have never tried it. I'll give it a try sometime soon thanks to the Hoob stamp of approval.

Hmmm, now that I know what band you're in, will have to come listen to you sometime. :-)

For those that are into margaritas, Asado's gives them away free often!

(I personally am liking Desperados right now because they have good food and the music man sang happy birthday to me the other day)

Have been passing a new place out on 380 called Bubba B's. It's a cajun type place. Since we haven't been to a new place in a month, I took Mrs. Hoob there Saturday afternoon, had a catfish/shrimp platter.

They need to change vendors that supply their catfish and shrimp.

Also, how about some sort of flavoring in the batter? If it's going to be so bland, drop the price. A lot.

We were underwhelmed by the eating experience. I wanted to like them because the staff was so nice to us.

Ok, Saturday night I played in Rockwall, so we noticed a small Italian place called Napolis Restaurant near downtown. It was a small mom and pop looking place.

I played it conservative and just ordered spaghetti and it was pretty good. I don't like ordering fancy stuff before gigs because sometimes they have unfortunate gastric results. There's nothing worse than bailing out in the middle of "Louie Louie" because I have to make a run to the crapper.

My friends ordered various dishes and loved them.

So thumbs up to Napolis in Rockwall.

The only negative of the place was, it was BYOB, which was a little strange.

Hoob.

I think I'll rip a well-liked place today: la Madeleine.

If a place is not a traditional eating establishment and has different "rules" for ordering and getting your food, they should make it plain to new customers. For example, Babe's system of ordering and eating food is different, but they tell you that as soon as you set down.

But not these hoitty-toitty French bread baking sons of bitches. If Mrs. Hoob hates you, you suck.

The food didn't come close to matching its price. So F la Madeleine. I have money to spend, but it won't be going there again.

no, i distinctly remember being very unimpressed. like hoob and mrs sweet clean hoob, me and the wifey were also a bit confused at first as to how we could actually obtain foodstuffs when we entered.

to be fair, i believe we both had a sandwich of some sort. perhaps there is something else on the menu worth returning for, i dunno. but our experience was enough to keep me from finding out.

My idea of a dream job:

Pissing in the batter that they use to fry up Stuckey's chicken. Somebody has that job. Or maybe they use a horse to do it. It's nasty.

I thought this chain went away 30 years ago, but a truck stop in Decatur converted from a Church's to a Stuckey's. Same building, same employees. But when they changed the sign, the food changed. I've tried it twice, threw it away uneaten both times.

So, eat at Stuckey's and get gas.

The other day a friend dragged me to a little place in Decatur called Moua Asian Cooking. I've driven by this place hundreds of times and never even noticed it. It's mostly Chinese food but they have a few Thai choices, too.

Almost all of the meals cost $7.50. The soup varies. They had egg drop one day, hot and sour the next.

Bring cash. They don't take cards. It's not a fancy place at all, so you wouldn't want to bring a date there.

Big thumbs up to Moua Asian Cooking out in Decatur.

And now the chicken shack side of this place is closed.

It was a Church's and was busy. But they didn't want to pay the franchise fees to Church's and so they are closed. Crap on them.

Passing through Decatur today with the wife, we decided to stop at a place called Catfish O'Harlie's. It's been there for about a dozen years so I thought it might have something. My observations:

1. Rude hostess/cashier. Needed a kick to the ass by Raphael Septien while Lance Rentzel watched.

2. Crappy food. Really crappy. If the best thing about your place is the iced tea, you should probably rethink how you do things.

3. No one interested in ringing me out even though a manager was 6 feet away doing "paperwork." Rude hostess/cashier finally came up and reluctantly took my money just as I was about to announce that I was going to leave without paying if no one wanted my money.

4. Really, no one was nice to us the entire time. I'm sorry I inconvenienced these people.

I'm sorry to have bothered you Catfish O'Harlie's in Decatur. I won't bother your piece of crap establishment again.

During gigs at Lone Star, we always got in arguments about the pre-show meal. Usually it meant doing a half-ass setup so we could get a seat at Outback, a place that I hate. Then we'd find something wrong as we were about to begin the gig, pissing me off. One night in disgust I announced, "Screw y'all, I'm walking over to this dirty Mexican place and eating there by myself. See you fags later."

To my surprise (and dismay), my friends followed me in. The place was the Mexicali Cafe on Northwest Highway near Jupiter, one door over from Lone Star. The place doesn't look good at all and I shudder to think about what the kitchen looks like. They did get decent inspection ratings the last time I looked it up.

We loved it. I've never spent more than $10 for a meal. I recommend the chicken taco plate. Big thumbs up to the Mexicali Cafe in Dallas.

I misunderstood their $1 refill policy. The rule is, bring your Fuzzy's cup back and get your drink for a dollar.

A Rosa's opened in Denton and I went there today. Meh. Got a taco plate, was nothing special. Well, the speed that it raced through my digestive system was especially special. Damn.

It wasn't very expensive, though, and you get the food fast. I'll probably go back.

I think Rosa's is pretty solid. I like their salsa bar. Fuzzy's is overrated but if you get one of their burritos they are huge. I think I had the pork one time and I couldn't finish.

The last 2 times I tried Fuzzy's, I was working my way through a burrito and bit into fatty meat and had to suspend all chewing motions as I scrambled in a panic for a napkin to spit in. After that, I can't finish the meal. You know, we're never so vulnerable than when we trust as we blindly chomp into the opaque tortilla of a meat burrito; but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, if we have bitten into a steak, carnita or even chicken burrito only to recoil in disgust as our teeth bounce off the rubbery fatness of gristle, neither can we find love or joy in the burrito. Chew on that.
