Heather McNeil – amusements for your mouth

Remember that song by Carley Simon that went:

"Nobody does it better,

makes me feel sad for the rest.

Nobody does it quite as good as you,

baby you're the best!"

Well, I think we all got the original reference, but this song kept coming to my mind on Saturday night and not in the way you are now thinking...[though that would have been fun too!]

As good fortune would have it, I was a guest at the Swanson Vineyards Wine Club Event. Yes, I have been to many a "wine club" soiree, but never at Swanson.

Ahhh, summer.  Is there anything better? Blue skies with sunshine o'plenty, warm nights, the smell of charcoal wafting through the air and the foods that seem to come alive, especially when eaten outdoors.

NEVER, and I mean NEVER in all my years ;-) of writing about food, have I ever critiqued an establishment before dining there. 

I am so impressed, so excitedly doing my own little high school cheer, over  how this restaurant handled a "critic", I not only have to GET there but I have to write about it BEFORE I get there!

The restaurant is "Tacolicious", which has certainly been on my radar, for obvious reasons...

Tacolicious= tequila+tacos+deliciousness? Booty-licious? Lick my lips...cious? Well, you get it!

Can I just say, have you seen Mr. Hot Guy, aka Bradley Cooper, in the "A Team" trailer? Holy ripped ab muscles! How I'd like to eat some ribs off him!

Which actually brings me to the subject of the ultimate summer food...smoky, barbequed, lick your fingers, lip smacking,[visions of Bradley again] porkdilli-icious yum! Is there anything better?

In the day and age of service and social media, I cannot wrap my head around restaurants that want to dig their virtual graves by not giving the customer what they want.

And I mean it when I say, "please leave a comment below" and explain your reasoning, because I really need this explained to me.
