This week, we headed out to Barrio Cafe  for a “quick” meet and greet  with local celebrity chef, Silvana Salcido Esparza. Well, two appetizers, three entrees, a few margaritas, and two hours of fabulous conversation later, Chef Glenn, Heidi, and I waddled out of the busy restaurant with full tummies and happy hearts. Two days later, I’m still full, but I wouldn’t turn down a Michelada. Maybe I’ll head back over to the Barrio. See you there?
