Last October, we reported on the closing of Tulsa's Casa Bonita after more than three decades of thematic family fun and some of the worst all-you-can-eat Tex-Mex slop on the planet.Although only the famed Denver location of Casa Bonita remains open (cliff divers and all), chain founder Bill Waugh has opened a new restaurant called Casa Viva in Tulsa's former Casa Bonita location. Hopefully they are improving upon the food, but Tulsa World food critic Scott Cherry wasn't too impressed, and I trust a man whose column is called "Eat, Drink & Be Cherry."
As long as we’re on the subject of Bill Waugh, I recently found out from some Metroplex-bred friends that he is also the man behind Taco Bueno, Burger Street and the once-beloved Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti chain, which is now down to one location in Irving.
