Queso Fundido at La Mezcaleria

La Mezcaleria Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato I've had Queso Fundido at a couple of places (Glowbal and The Mexican) and so far Glowbal's done it the best. Why? The main reason is it's hot and stays sizzling hot for a long time. This keeps your cheese goopy and tasty, and helps you get some seared cheese on the sides of the stone bowl.

Tried it tonight at La Mezcaleria and it was disappointing for so many reasons. Price was probably the worst -- at $26 you might be able to make it a meal for one, but you're also more likely to get much better and tastier for your money. And at $26 (for the one with ground Mexican chorizo, the only meat-optioned one) it cost twice as much as at Glowbal or The Mexican, for a comparable portion of cheese in a big but thick-walled shallow bowl.

It came to the table sizzling but strangely with very little seared cheese on the sides of the volcanic stone bowl. Our server pointed out the seared cheese being a delicacy and I was also definitely looking forward to it. But it was actually really hard to find any, and I think the sheer oiliness of the cheese they used actually prevented the cheese from forming a crust.

The cheese cooled down very, very, quickly. Shortly into it we even asked for the bowl to be reheated to try to get the cheese searing but when it came back it just wasn't any better.

Served with three dips -- a watery green avocado, a smoky chili, and a really hot pineapple habenero. I actually recommend the pineapple one. The cheese and taco shell provided to eat the cheese with will absorb some of the heat, leaving you with the refreshing pineapple to offset any heaviness from the cheese or oil.

Total waste of time and money. I would recommend you check Glowbal first if you really want Queso Fundido and maybe get it during their happy hour, but it looks like it's gone from their online menu.

All their Queso Fundido are gluten-free.
TIP: If you are having trouble scooping up a manageable portion of cheese with a spoon, try rolling it up with a fork like spaghetti.

Service was friendly and conscientious if a little bit uncoordinated -- you might get different servers checking in on you but hey, at least they are all paying attention and making sure you are being served.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
