Glad the museum and food was nice.

Didn't Chuy's do the green sauce and you ate it? Or are you cooking for them
now? :-)
Did Josh disappear? Did you say earlier that he's drinking a bit? How old
is he?

Josh is 21 and Nicholas is 23. Yes, Josh is drinking heavily. I'm way
concerned about it too.
Yes, Chuy's did the green sauce and I ate it. I must not have made myself
clear in the earlier post. Right now I've got indigestion and can't sleep.
Chuy's Verde' sauce is delish but I suffer afterwards. Gawd I love the
stuff and their seasonings are excellent. You get good Mexican in AZ?

Hopefully it's just a phase. You know, turning 21 and all. Do you know
if he's been doing it very long?

Yep, the green sauce is very good! Did Chuy's drop the tri-tip from their
menu in your area? They recently did that here and I'm disappointed.
Last time I was there I had the mahi and it was excellent. Have you tried
it?

I'm not really sure what you mean by the tri-tip. Chuys is a small joint.
Are you thinking of Chevy's? I automatically tip 20-25% if service and food
are good. I'm not real sure about the tipping things. I just watch the
check. Chili Verde at Chuys is excellent. I wish I could do it just as
well.

The Chuy's here in the Phoenix area are moderate size places, the full name
of which is Chuy's Mesquite Grille They were "famous" for their marinated,
rubbed and smoked, then grilled and sliced tri-tip (roast) beef, served up
on a place with rice and beans. They have a salsa bar where you can add
ample helpings of at last half a dozen salsas. Don't know why they dropped
the tri-tip. It was one of the best things on the menu.
Dog3
Our Chuys is not like that. They are only famous aroound here. They make
the *best* enchiladas. I'm talking slow simmered beef here. I'm not sure
what cut it is and I don't care. When our Chuy's first opened my friend
Lynne Smith (City Cousin fame) tried to help 'em out at grand opening. She
just advised, no physical work. The guac at Chuy's is incredible. I have
never tried the fajitas. They use flank steak and it's marinated and
smoked. I usually go there for my enchilada fix. The refried beans have
changed. They taste canned to me and I complained about it.

I'm beginning to wonder if the only thing they share is the name, Chuy's.
The ones in Texas are advertised separately and differently than those in
California, both of which are different than those in Arizona.

The Chuy's here is a tiny little place. A mom and pop type place. It is
really popular now because the food is so good. I can't get enough of the
enchiladas and guac. Good stuff.

I assume you mean the one on Art Hill. Haven't been there since I was
a kid. Haven't seen Forest Park in about 15 years. That is (or at
least was) an exceptionally nice art museum for a city that size.

The museum is terrific. Art Hill is a blast when it snows. The museum has
so many neat things on display. They also have an awesome brunch if you
like the muffin thing. I'm more into the omelets and hash browns myself. I
love the place and frequent it often. I also love the zoo. I used to live
right off of Forest Park so I'm way familiar. I used to walk my dogs right
across Kingshighway. Poor Missy didn't know what grass was until we moved
here and Hoot had no idea what a yard was. My Scotties loved the park and
Missy loved to (UGH) swim in the ponds. BTW Chuy's is in Dogtown, not to
far from the museum.

Well, I never lived in the city. I grew up in Wood River, IL (phew!)
and many years later lived for a short time in Granite City and Alton.
Spent a lot of time over there and knew it like the back of my hand -
now I'd just get lost, since many of the familiar streets are covered
by Sports Domes, Hotels and other such nonsense. I spent a large
amonunt of time in the 8th to 10th St, Washington avenue area (and
miraculously, I'm still alive). Remember Dooley's, the Branded Bagle
and, of course OT HOdge? And some incredibly greasy-spoon type place
on the corner of 9th and Washington, across from the Bank of St.
Louis. First time I was there, a waitress walked over to the table
nex to me, killed a roach with her towel and kept cleaning tables with
it. Also, there was a really nice hotel very close, where they had
actually closed off the street for that mafia guy that ran the city -
we happened to show up there one day when his entourage of limos and
goons piled out with their guns to give him an escort. he died in
prison, but his son carried on the business. At that hotel, we ate
lunch one day, and sat at a table right next to Sorkus Webbe jr. I
kept waiting for a bomb to go off or something. (That happened on a
regular basis around the city for a few years, you know)

Oh, and never forget the "Leon Spinx Memorial White Castle" where any
time of the day you could sit at the window counter and prop your feet
on a sleeping bum.

Uh, no Carol, not in those days - the guys that did that were not at
all homeless, just drunks who like to cruise the streets - everybody
there knew them and just put up with it - they were all right, in
their own way. I didn't literally mean "prop your feet on them".
They were sort of a fixture and on the days they weren't there, we
asked if anybody had seen them lately. I actually knew where one of
them lived and believe it or not, we stopped by to visit one time.
When he was sober, he was a really smart guy - just sort of "bone
idle". Which, in some ways is an admirable trait <G>.

@invalid.com says...
The Chuy's in St. Louis is "Chuy Arzola's Mexican Restaurant." It's
owned an run by Chuy Arzola. He's usually sitting at one of the tables
near the far end of the bar. It used to be that he would come in early
and make the rice and beans himself, but I don't think that's true any
more. He used to have a second restaurant in, I think, Alton IL. It
closed a a few years ago.

Thanks, Frank. That clears things up. The Chuy's in AZ is part of a west
and southwest chain.
