  Waiter Tales

"This season’s workers at Red Grenadine’s Steakhouse had been uniformly defiant in the matter of Iced Tea in the morning and had refused to add the brewing thereof to their opening duties. And this despite the steady stream of Texans who had been ordering it at the crack of dawn each and every day without fail since Nate had started just before Christmas. In fact, the fact that ”Iced Tea” was typically the first two words out of at least one customer’s mouth before the sun had even come up or the temperature had a chance to climb to double digits had not seemingly registered with whoever was training new workers or assigning first shift chores and even though Nate found that his rhythm was thrown off on almost a daily basis by having to wait for a full cauldron of tea to not only brew but to then cool down a bit so he could serve it, he wasn’t about to take the relatively simple steps that he could have to rectify the problem himself. He found the whole situation with Iced Tea kind of comical actually."  Read more

Plaza Liquors and Fine Wines
 
"Another thing Plaza does a great job of is rotating stock for the changing seasons. Especially around the holidays, we always start watching the sign out front for some form of the inevitable "Holiday Ales have arrived" message and there's nothing better than yanking your ride into the parking lot, mixing and matching a case or two of that year's seasonals, and driving off with a trunk full of Xmas brews to sample from around the country and world. Plaza dabbles in seasonal wines as well and the staff offers helpful, hand written descriptions of any vintners and labels that they've tried and enjoyed."
