Queso Heaven

A Richmond taco junkie checks out the new Torchy’s Tacos in Short Pump and Carytown. Confession: I love Taco Bell. As a food writer and culinary school grad, that is not an easy thing to admit, knowing that it bears about as much resemblance to authentic Mexican food as the McRib does to a rack from ZZQ. The fact is, whether it’s prepared by a well-known chef or ordered at a drive-thru window, I’m a sucker for any combo of beans, seasoned meat, and melted cheese on a corn platform, preferably with guacamole and salsa, and a spicy marg next to it. Alas, while we have some decent Tex Mex fare in Richmond, historically the options have not been plentiful....

What Are We Doing Now?

All right, what is that Pfundtner Guy up to now???It was such a beautiful day that he decided that we needed to haul sheets of drywall on the flat trailer. It's unusual to be able to do this in the middle of winter without getting them all full of road slush and salt. But because all of our snow melted, and it's a sunshiny day, we were able to haul back 12 sheets of drywall with no problems whatsoever. Of course, he also added four big rolls of insulation into the back of the Saturn at the same time. Want to hear something strange? The last four times we have taken this trailer out to haul things, somebody has hit it!...
