Mad Melt has closed permanently as a restaurant. The space will likely be used for catering and private events..
The switch from Mad Taco was a horrible business decision.


That's a tough location over there, I would think. It's not super easy to get in and out of

Yeah the bank building really makes it tough to know anything is back there. Until that building is gone I don't think any business would be able to survive.

The Mad Taco seemed to be extremely busy every time I went there.

I would think when they put the Tower Point location in that it kept a majority of their customer base on the South side of town. Torchys and fuego being nearby with better parking and access probably killed Mad Tacos chance at that location

Just my theory

Peter said as much in his FB post at the time they made the change. Too much taco competition right nearby, and La Palapas opening a block away as well.

Toasted Yolk will be tough competition for the other breakfast places. It's fantastic.

Snooze, which will be across the street, is also fantastic. Assuming it is still happening.

We need good breakfast places. It's one area we're lacking.

Having been to several Snooze locations in Arizona and some of the Houston area Toasted Yolk locations I'd take TY every time.

I wasn't impressed with Snooze in Houston. It will do well but that is just due to the limited options.

I like TY better than Snooze as well, but Snooze is pretty good. I also like Another Broken Egg. If La Madeleine still opens in Century Square, there will be some pretty great breakfast/brunch options in town. Mess, Sweet Paris, and First Watch are solid and all pretty close to each other as well.

I like Another Broken Egg but it's kind of a pain in the rear to drive "that far" for breakfast/brunch most days.

WTAW says big changes coming to Blinn. They bought the church next door at Villa Maria and Nash. They're going to tear down the church and build an administration building and move their offices in the Tejas Center over there. Plus build a bunch of other stuff.

Trump will fix it.

I got to meet the owners. Sounds exciting. They (husband and wife) have quite the brewing resume, working at Cigar City, Jester King, and Shiner.

Saw a thing on FB that Zand's is in fiscal trouble. They need to come up with a chunk of money. The owners are sweet, cool folks and I hope people support them (good food too!)

Zands. Get a chicken and beef steak platter. With a side of hummus and extra pita. And extra garlic sauce. You will have a great dinner with enough leftover for a "gyro" sandwich for breakfast the next morning. Or at least that is what I am going to do.

Spicy Gryo Platter is where it is at with Zands. (it's not actually hot spicy if that's not your thing). I will definitely go by some time in the next few days to grab my favorite.

Spicy gyro combo. Eat it over the fries and let all the garlicky goodness drip on them.

Speaking of lesser known mid eastern food, anyone ever eat at Babylon Cafe at the center at Texas and North, behind Mr Hamburger? It always seems open and I don't ever seem to see anyone there.

My wife and I joke it's a drug front.

We talk about going every time we pass it but never think about it when it's time to make dinner plans.

Tried it once years ago.

I seem to remember them charging for a glass of water.

I was happy to go to Shiraz instead.

But that was years ago, so could be totally different now.
