Flying Saucer To Hold Plate Reunion Party

AppId is over the quota

When the Flying Saucer announced its recent move to 111 East Third St. in Forth Worth, the manager was a little cryptic about what would happen to all the plates that lined the walls of the original location.

Customers who sign up to join the U.F.O. club (and pay an $18 fee) can drink their way into the ring of honor. The distinction earns "beer knurds" a plate emblazoned with their names that hung on the walls of the the old location. The ritual was popular enough to fill many of the walls. but those plates did not join the beer-swillers at the new location. Next Thursday the estranged plates will be reunited with their rightful owners, and the Flying Saucer is throwing a party to mark the occasion.

True to Flying Saucer form, some proceeds from the party will benefit the Tarrant Area Food Bank. They're holding a silent auction to raise money for the organization they've supported with canned food drives and other events in the past. If you've had a plate with your name on it at the old location it's time to realize your destiny. The party starts at 6 p.m. August 16.

The New Torchy's Location Is Having a Grand Opening Party. Wanna Go? (Updated)

AppId is over the quota

Update:We used a random number generator to pick a winner and drew comment number one. KrisinDallas, may your future be filled with many tacos and drinks.

We told you back in February about Torchy's Tacos opening up another location near the SMU campus, and as the opening date gets closer there's some more news coming out of the Austin based taco chain, involving booze. The latest Torchy's, which will share space with a second Nodding Donkey and a World of Beer location in the BLVD residential development, will not have just bottled beer for sale but a full bar too.

Other than cocktails, the new Torchy's will otherwise mimic the same model that's made the chain popular this far, says a spokesperson for the company. They're hitting the booze hard, though, with draft and bottled beer and frozen margaritas in the popular college flavors of lime, strawberry and mango. There's even a full line of cocktails in the works, some of which are infused with spicy spirits.

The grand opening party is August 15, and they're planning on giving out a ton of free tacos and beverages to anyone with a pass. That's the real reason for this blog post. I have two of them to give away a commenter who can tell us why they deserve them. Time's up at 4 p.m., so get that bragging/rationalizing/begging go, and be sure to send me or leave an email address in the comments.
