I have been looking for a place to unload my utter disappointment in Angry Egret. Maybe this is the place? I believe people when they say that they love Wes’s cooking, but I have never had anything from any of his places (dating back to the truck) to make me say “damn!”.

I tried Angry Egret once. It was “fine.” I have not been interested in returning.

I did have some “damns” at the truck. But not after that. The bricks and mortar GT was ok - nothing transcendent. And AE really sucks.

Liked the GT truck, have tried quite hard but can’t find much to like at AE.

I really enjoyed the tacokase when Sergio was still in the kitchen

I tried it once at GT with @J_L
Was fine but wasn’t wowed by anything.
I think a self-curated takocase at Holbox could be more satisfying.

I’ve never been, but I find what’s even weirder is Banh Oui, a fast casual sandwich shop. Beard is expanding beyond Euro-centric French/Italian, but these choices are just odd.
Is this pandemic availability related?

As Tom Colicchio joked on Top Chef, “when someone tells you they were a finalist, it means they didn’t win.”
