It’s been a loooong month. Allow me and my family to serve you up some fresh tasty food at DogMaster this Friday and share a smile!

Pop up prep night last night was a doozy! Remember last week when I flubbed up my tortilla dough? Yesterday I got two cases (24 pounds) of flour in and I made quick correction of it. The result of all that dough was my all time record of handmade tortillas produced in one session: 390 freshies! Which was serendipitously how long I needed to be at the kitchen babysitting the birria meat to get it nice a tender. Almost 6 hours folx!
I’m pretty sure my tortilla press is as tired as I am this morning but you bet your bottoms I’ll be serving your food with a smile and big heart tonight so why don’t you bring yourself and a fellow taco lover out to this evening for food, drinks, and a gorgeous Friday evening in the for First Friday! ♥️

As the saying goes, “Wranglin goats one day, flinging tacos the next!” I hope to see you all tomorrow night from 6-9.

I’ve got room in my food warmer for another hot topping. Should I bust out some Cassava Mama spice blend and make up some chorizo to top the nachos and quesadillas? Tell me what you want in the comments.

This is the face I make when I plan to make 20 dozen tortillas in an evening and then make a miscalculation in measuring ingredients that leaves me without enough flour to fix it and move on. So, this pouty face is going home to take a walk through the woods and look for mushrooms. Measure twice, pour once people.

As my dad used to say, "I'm tickled pink" to be one of the food vendors at the COMO Wellness Conferences Happy Hour next Saturday. I'll be showcasing a barbacoa beef taco with rosemary pickled onions, candied jalapeños, and roasted poblano salsa. There's still time to attend this unique conference whose mission is to provide people with knowledge and resources to achieve good health. And I know this is common knowledge already but part of good health is tacos. https://www.comowellnessconference.com/

This annual wellness conference presents the latest in an integrative approach to wellness. The 2018 conference will take place on Saturday, April 21.

Whew! I felt the Friday night energy at the pop up last night! Nourishs co-owners Kimber and Kalle were gracious hosts and their staff member Rose kept everyone’s thirsts quenched while my buddy Maura made sure the orders flowed smoothly.

It’s always nice to completely sell out it on the occasion I don’t, I still take it as a win because I get to have my super special morning after meal!

Pop Up happening right now from 5-8 or sold out!

Hello my loves, I’m a Cassava Mama Birria taco and quite special. Allow me to explain the process involved in making just the broth that serves as the base for the not only the beef that is slow roasted for 5 hours but also the handmade cassava tortillas! This spice-rich Birria broth is created by stewing guajillo and chipotle chilies, tomatoes, peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and herbs. After cooled, it’s blended smooth and strained. Working the broth into the tortillas makes them a vibrant orange which compliments the rosy rosemary pickled onions and fresh greenest of green cilantro so well! Check them out for yourself for dinner this Friday night at from 5-8pm.

Perfect queso sauce before 9am? Don’t mind if I do! And, knowing me you know it didn’t come from a couple of packs of seasoning and a block of highly processed cheese rhyming with melveeta. As my favorite Aussie chef would say, “F@ck jarred sauce!” Roasted poblanos, chipotles, milk, freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese, and handmade GF bechamel sauce. I can’t wait to hand off your own bowl of Birria nachos, dripping with this queso sauce THIS FRIDAY from 5-8 on Broadway in downtown Columbia!
