Unlike La Nichols and Teresa Gubbins and other foodie writing pros, I cannot take a bite ad toss. I ate everything start to finish and gained 6 ½ pounds. That was last August. Then to update since some had gone other places, I gained another 3 ½ in March. And when last weekend I took each a hand delivered copy, I gained another two pounds. I can now star in a Little Theater production of Raging Bull.

PS: I could not find KD and Timbo of For Real Fred’s. Someone evicted their smoker. Que lastima! PSS: Taqueria La Chiquita’s address is 6939 Scyene. A straiht shot off I-30 south on Jim Miller Road (corner of Scyene) But don’t miss Tacos To Go on Webb’s Chapel. A friend went there and ate so much she had to be driven home after having ‘heart palpitations’. Isn’t that the way most Dallas Chefs would love to say their customers responded?

And after a re-visit to Shave Ice Snow Cones on Bruton, I surrendered! (Again.) The Blue Bell cheese cake ice cream with sno ice atop piled, then the liberal dousing of Strawberry Cheese cake Syrup was simply worth a diabetic coma. Medium $2.50.
