NYC, GET READY FOR THE REAL DEAL

Good news for all of you Dallasites who struggle to find good Tex-Mex in the Big Apple. By this time next year, you’ll be able to order an El Rey or a Carolina’s at Mi Cocina without having to fly home. Mico just called to say, “It’s official. New York City is the center of the culinary universe and we plan to be there.” Mico leaves next week to scout for locations around “Park Avenue south between the 20s and 30s.” Best restaurant idea I’ve heard in a long time. (And I know Allison H. and David B. will be thrilled.)
