A misson for guacamole with ironic and dissapointing outcomes


After a long drive to our most enjoyable Mexican fare on the east coast we found ironic hardship. Waking up to plan our day of a large afternoon meal revolving around great margaritas and killer guacamole, we both were excited. With the large yellow building in sight, saliva glands hitting on all cylinders I thought out loud and said 'What if it is closed, what would we do?'. We pulled into the parking lot to find the windows and doors boarded up. Damn, we just drove 45 minutes of anticipation and it looks like the building is abandoned. Kelly points out to look at the roof, Black. A kitchen fire has struck the building. It was very disappointing. After a glance over my left shoulder I noticed that across the street there was a fully operational fire station.

Are you serious? How could this happen.

What do we end up with? 'Sante Fe restaurant', believe me there was nothing 'Santa Fe' about it at all. Note to all- don't get between a man and his guac!



The Power of the Avocado:

First of all- The word "avocado" comes from the Nahuatl word āhuacatl ("testicle", a reference to the shape of the fruit). Native Americans looked up to this tasty fruit hanging in the trees and this is the name they came up with?


High avocado intake has been shown to have an impact on blood serum cholesterol levels. Specifically, after a seven day diet rich in avocados, hypercholesterolemia patients showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Source

That is enough for me to eat at least a few avocados a week!
