Restaurant impressario Peter Tarantino, who's been helping out at Avila's Mexican Restaurant, tells us that Guy Fieri and the Food Network are dropping by on Wednesday to film a segment for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives at my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant.

'Don't know the time. 'Don't know the particulars. But I've got a call in to find out in case there are any Guy Fieri groupies around. Me, I'm just button-popping proud to see Avila's get recognition for what the family-run restaurant does so well.

Peter also tells us that the Avila's now has its liquor license, so you can order real margaritas. We may be in a recession, but some people are still progressin'. It almost rhymes.

... and I can add that they are filming at the Twisted Root Burger Co. in Deep Ellum today. And yes, owner Jason Boso will be there. A small miracle after the accident he suffered late last year.
