Oh, how I miss the nineties. Just like everything else I didn't know those were some of those good ol' days we always talk about. So many great things I miss about those days.
Senor Chubby's Mexican Bar and Grill. They are now open in Wellington Square. They were pretty quiet about their grand opening. I even tried to message them asking when it was going to happen. Then on a random Tuesday this week, I saw the announcement that they were open.
It's been a whirlwind of a week already. We found out about a few businesses and restaurants closing. When we lose food in the area luckily it seems that there is food heading our way to fill the void.
When you have a favorite dish at a favorite restaurant in Amarillo and it closes down it means tragedy. You end up searching for a place that offers something close. Country Pride Enchiladas are one dish that comes to mind.
This is something I have been waiting for. This prime real estate has been sitting vacant since Leal's closed during the pandemic. Before Leal's, it was the local favorite in Gardski's.
I drive by this empty building every single day. I miss it being a place that I could stop for a great meal. I'm talking about the old Gardski's location.
We have heard this time and time again about the supply chain shortage. There are things that are harder to come by because of this issue. There was a time when we couldn't find toilet paper.
So first of all kudos to the Atlanta Braves for winning the World Series. That means that Tucker Davidson, who graduated from Tascosa High School, gets a ring. Oh and by the way Tucker was not even born the last time the Braves won the World Series back in 1995.
I noticed this over the weekend and I will have to say it got me feeling all sorts of ways. This location has been a mainstay in Amarillo for years. It most recently was Leal’s before they closed their doors earlier during the pandemic.
It seems like I went back in time recently. I asked the question wanting to know which Amarillo restaurant was gone and you really missed having it here. Oh wow the answer's took me all over Amarillo.
