Creator's Key Takeaways

This new dish of brazed beef tips slowly cooked Mexican style a top of fried corn tortilla with black beans, crispy onions, and queso fresco was a 10 out of 10 for us.

When is it not, right? Liquid cheese bread bowl, tiny veggies. What's not to love?

The blacken catfish with hop and john and comeback sauce is just a winning combo of everything.

Weekdays will see much shorter lines for food booths.
