 Ireland is on lockdown again, this time for 6 weeks until early December. The schools are open, but there was no “trick or treating” this year. Sacrificing Halloween to save Christmas is the logic we’re hearing. Although the kids didn’t dress up in costumes this year, Joe carved a scary jack o’lantern and […]  30 years ago, I founded the Austin Hot Sauce Contest. I served as head judge for 26 years. Covid cancelled this year’s party, ending a tradition. Here’s an intro I wrote for the Austin Chronicle in the late 1990s explaining the origins of the Hot Sauce Contest; We called it […]  Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is a minor holiday in Mexico, dwarfed in importance by Mexican Independence Day. For reasons that defy logic, Texans embrace the 5th of May as the day to celebrate all things Mexican. Or is it […]  It’s great to be back in London! Texas Joe invited me to sign books and give a Tex-Mex talk for a big Cinco de Mayo fiesta at his BBQ joint.

I didn’t catch a lot of fish, but that’s okay. It was my way of saying goodbye to the Coastal Bend of Texas, my home for the last few […]  London is now a taco town! Over the last two years, some excellent taquerias and innovative Mexican restaurants have opened. And tacos have been deemed “the food trend of 2017” by some London food bloggers. So we sent our correspondent, Julia Walsh, to London on a taco tour. We’ll be posting her London […]  Katie Walsh comments on a recent article in the Daily Texan: The chile relleno at Matt’s El Rancho in Austin—which was Lyndon B. Johnson’s favorite dish here—came covered in queso instead of ranchero sauce, by request. My sister Julia ordered the Grilled Old Fashioned tacos, which we’ve been eating here for at […]  London is now a taco town! Over the last two years, some excellent taquerias and innovative Mexican restaurants have opened. And tacos have been deemed “the food trend of 2017” by some London food bloggers. So we sent our correspondent, Julia Walsh, to London on a taco tour. We’ll be posting her London […]  Tortilla chips and salsa, chili con carne, and fajitas are now typical European bar food.
