The Nodding Donkey to Open in Uptown

An Uptown donkey.

Jonathan Calabrese and Tony Winkler, owners of State & Allen, are adding The Nodding Donkey to the Uptown scene. The Nodding Donkey will be a “Texas Sports Saloon” and will open in the old 2900 building. Listen:

The Nodding Donkey is going to have a huge indoor/outdoor bar with tons of
seating and 16 TVs – inside and out. We will have great Texas Style bar
food – and what everyone wants to hear — Valet Parking! We are scheduled
to be open in early October, and are planning a great Grand Opening Party
with huge surprises!!

I’m confused. Will they only show Texas sports? If not, what is a Texas sports bar? Do we really want to hear valet parking? What do y’all think?

Randy is an software architect and avid runner!

On August 11, Aaron Wang became SideDish follower number 1,700. Today, Randy Winnett, becomes number 1,800! Huh? What’s so special about 1,800. Well, the 1800s gave us Chicken Marengo, the invention of canning technology, and nifty kitchen gadgets such as jelly moulds and pastry cutters. So, congratulate Randy. Perhaps you will be follower number 1,900. And we all know what happened in 1900, right? Hot dog carts!
