Oh, the Excitement....

Well, a few notes for this week for all of you looking to do something. The Denton Square is having some visitors from Good Morning Texas, they are filming on Wednesday April 24 for a show they will be doing on May 2nd. They will be out at around 11:30 am -1 pm getting some stock footage. Next is the weekend most Dentonites look forward to all year, Jazz Fest. The stage is going up and the weather is looking great for the shows, I know I am excited to see The Blues Brothers' Band Perform with one of the original band members there. I just loved the movie. 
Well, hope to see everyone there on Sunday night for Brave Combo.
Have fun and be safe.

She's a Killer... Queenie's

Well, I had to check out what chef Tim Love was thinking when he shut the doors to one of my personal favorite burger places The Love Shack off the Denton square. When I then saw the new look and a big "Q" on the door, it got me wondering. Well, the wondering is over and I took my wonderful wife out to Queenie's.
This new steak house has some wonderful  food and great concept to spice up the neighborhood. I still wonder about the valet parking, but that is just me. They have a great selection of steaks and entree's. There is something for everyone there and is a very unique time. The price can go high quick, but the service and the quaint atmosphere is worth it. With a more intimate dining experience, it is one that everyone need to check out at some point. My favorite was the sides, big enough where you could have enough to taste and some to take home. The Cream Spinach and Kale is awesome and is great to take home and use on a baked potato. The desert was out of this world, with a cherry serrano spice pie under a homemade cinnamon ice cream, it was wonderful.
My take, even though this might be out of the ordinary for Denton, it is something that could put it on the map. With an atmosphere that competes with some of the more fancy steak houses and a menu to match, this place just works.

And as always, tip your servers well, they work for those.

Bright Lights... Denton City!

Well, it has been a little while since I have posted anything here. I have been looking around and seeing more things filling up empty business fronts, some around the square, others away from the square but still close by. A few things that are changing just outside the square in Denton are two new places, one in the old Ramen Republic and the other is the old Love Shack location. The other is where the old Miguelito's use to be. There is now a taco place, The Rusty Taco, where Ramen Republic was, a place called 'Q' took over the Love Shack location, and Boss's Pizza is replacing Miguelito's.  

I am seeing some interesting things and am hopeful that we see some good progress here in Denton. I will return and try some of these places to let you know how they are.

God Bless
