Drove by the old Bennigans at Memorial & May and saw that there was work being done to the building. Does anyone know what is going in there?

Second on Poblanos.
Also heard they were keeping them both, but that doesn't make sense to me.

I've noticed a few of the servers only wear the minimum amount of flair. The lobster quesadilla's more than made up for it, though.

Chotchkie's is a made-up (read: fake) restaurant. It's not gonna be a Chotchkie's.

It's gonna be a Flinger's.

I think the only original Steak 'n' Ale bulding left is the one at I-240 and Western. The one on Meridian is still there, but it was substantially overhauled and remodeled into an asian buffet....
