Weird Convention Coincidence #1
by Pete WannBernie and I leave the hotel to find breakfast after a night of drinking with my brother-in-law, and who do we run into? Our Fort Worth City Councilman, Joel Burns, his partner, J. D. Angle, and Fort Worth’s own ink-stained journo, Bud Kennedy, sharing a table but not their migas con hongos, at Las Manitas on Congress.

Bud mentioned that on his way out… That’ll be a terrible loss for that area.

mmmmmmmm…….Posole at Las Manitas….me likey.
apropos of nothing I once saw John Sayles there. Not eating though - he was just standing against the back wall scoping out the joint and the view of Congress. After breakfast we spied him again walking around downtown. I would assume scouting out locations.

Bud, who happened to walk into Las Manitas minutes after us, didn’t offer to share his migas con hongos… though they looked mighty good.

Joel is right — I must disclose that I not only scammed an extra chair at their table, but also selfishly hogged my entire plate of migas con hongos.
Can somebody get Arturo at Benito’s to steal the recipe? Migas with mushrooms and garlic –
