It's late night, you and you're friends are hungry, you need a cold beverage, and you have the distinct need for meat wrapped in tortilla. In my mind there is only one place to go, Fuzzy's Tacos on Watson near the corner of Laclede Station Rd and Watson. Home of heaping nachos, delectable tacos and monstrous burritos it is also one of the neighborhood hangouts, with the walls decorated with Webster University and Webster Groves High School (my old school by the way, Go Statesmen) sports gear and always filled with the sound of laughter and conversation it is the prime example of one of the simplest formulas to run a restaurant by...
CB+GF=RS.
Cold Beer + Good Food = Restaurant Success. Laugh if you will it is the truth, look at your favorite food hangout, is the food good? I'd hope so if it's a place you visit repeatedly. Is the Beer or drink of your choice good? Alcohol is expensive so I'd hope so if you keep putting money down on the table. The secret to Fuzzy's success lies in the food, simple, cheap to make and cheap to buy... until you start craving a cold beverage to wash that Shrimp Taco, or that mound of Pork Nachos down with, then bam with out realizing it you've downed a pitcher of the Goose Island or Dos Equis XX Amber and had another full plate of Nachos. Or perhaps you've decided to go with one of their many kinds of Beerita's that they have, a margarita with a beer turned into it, when you're drink gets low simply lift the bottle a bit and you're margarita fills up with the bottled beverage of choice.
Of course there are more Traditional Mexican eats Under the Arch, and I mentioned in yesterday's post my near fanaticism for true authentic cuisine. That being said I'm a St. Louisian, I bleed Blue for Hockey, Blue and Gold for Football, and every year is the Red Bird's year for the World Series. Another aspect of that heritage is my love for a good bar, and good bar food. So gather you're friends draw straws and pray you don't draw the short one and head over to Fuzzy's Tacos, have a drink for me.
