Looking forward to one of you fine people to go check out the authentic italian restaurant the KBTX noted.
Damiano's Cucina Italiano in Nvasota. If I see a good review or two I would enjoy taking a short trip with my wife to celebrate her birthday coming up.



Also looking forward to this as I've found the local Italian places pretty "meh." This one sounds interesting.

You can pass on the cilantro as it is a love it or hate it topping.

That looks good. I'm impressed with their website and branding. I expect they'll do well.

4-14% of people think cilantro tastes like soap due to a genetic deformity. The other 86-96% of us don't mind it. Could the few of you anti-cilantro weirdos just quietly pass or accept a loogie special order and not make a big deal out of it? Thanks!

I wonder if there's any correlation to the number of people whose pee smells like crap whenever they eat asparagus but not everybody has that issue.

I thought asparagus making your piss rank was universal

Nope. They did a study in Europe and apparently French peoples pee isn't affected by asparagus. I think it's because they already smell so bad.

You can't smell like asparagus when you already smell like onions?

I get Sugar Smacks pee if I have coffee or espresso.

Wayne Campbell referred to it as "Urine Trouble".

No, not everyone's pee smells bad after eating asparagus; the effect depends on both whether a person produces the odor-causing compounds and whether they can smell the odor. Asparagus contains asparagusic acid, which breaks down into sulfurous byproducts during digestion, creating the distinctive smell. However, due to genetic differences, some people don't produce the compounds, while others produce them but cannot detect the smell.

I honestly usually avoid asparagus because I can't handle it lol.

Ok….back to restaurants, any good reviews on a sandwich place with a French dip that is not dried out?

Does Zeitman's do a French dip?

I have honestly never given a second thought to whether or not I eat asparagus based on a potential smell later. If it smells, it smells.

I don't think so but they do have great sandwiches for anyone who hasn't tried them.

We went to Moho Tortilla several days ago and it was great. Both of us had the #8 Mojo Man taco, mine with chicken and my wife's with the carne guisada. We both vowed we would be back and my wife said the carne was especially good. The queso was great as well. All the personnel there were very friendly and helpful, and it was great having Costa there wandering around and checking on us, asking for opinions, etc. The only problem was there were so many taco combinations that sounded great, so picking was hard! So we will just have to back and keep trying new combos (and will do so gladly). One of our new favorite places.

"MoHo"

Interesting twist on the name. I need some MoHo!

I have already been to Mojo Tortilla 3 times. The Carne Guisada was excellent.

This place might not be good for my diet.

Thanks so much for your business! I too have a thing for the carne guisada. I've now not eaten it three days in a row lol. Had to put the brakes on.

While I have you, I noticed on this forum before that you thought the burgers at Burger Mojo are small. I just wanted to address that.

When we opened they were 1/4 lb on a 4 inch bun. We were trying to keep them as low priced as possible, so that patties were the same weight as whataburger, which uses a 5 inch bun to make their flat patties appear like a bigger burger. We quickly found out that in this market our patties needed to be bigger. So, we went up to 6 oz., which obviously is 50% more. Our burgers are also smash burgers, which have a different texture, presentation and chew feel. You may give us another try! If you contact me direct your meal's on me!!

If you have a big appetite try the smash beast double at 12 oz! If you're on a budget try the Thrift Shop, which is the original 4oz.
