AllGood Cafe

I click on one sim theory video and my feed turns all UFO’s and conspiracies. Well, if this is a simulation, at least I get to eat this and smile. Gooooood morning matrix!

Tonight we celebrate AllGood royalty, someone as synonymous with the Cafe as anyone has ever been. Claire Bruce is hangin’ up her apron and moving on to the much greener pastures that lay ahead. For many years she’s been the heart (or maybe even the pacemaker) of this restaurant. Tonight at her and Sara Hauder’s world famous open mic, we hoist all the glasses in her honor as one AllGood - and Dallas in general’s - Best of the Best.

It’s National Drugs Day! Sorry, I meant : this is your brain on drugs. It’s National Egg Day! It’s also the birthday of two literally giants : Larry McMurtry and Alan Ginsberg. “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,” starts Howl. To which Gus McCrae might counter : “The earth is mostly just a boneyard. But pretty in the sunlight." How the world moves in circles, I reckon.

Walking our dog Toast through the neighborhood and stopped to snap this over looking towards . Little things make great things that make this little time we have worth living. To quote Ferris Bueller: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

You can vibe the chill from zero to nothing in no time starting now. Maybe get yourself a chicken fried steak and eggs before you head to the FOE for a swim and a Jell-O shot. I don’t know how to spell perfect, but that seems pretty purfack.

madisonkingmusic has held a Thursday residency at the Cafe for three glorious months. Her voice, songs, and energy are not only national treasures, it is us who are the lucky ones who get to have her here in our Dallas. While it sadly comes to its finish-line this week, the celebration includes the one and only dezi5 for the finale. Dezi’s accomplishments reach far past the humble AllGood stage - his dallasentertainmentawards are one of the biggest and best parties of the year honoring the rich, vibrant scene here. His songs and talent are pretty much unmatched. Come in early, stay late. Let’s have some fun. Happy hour lasts until 8pm. Show starts around 7.

What pairs with a cloudy day nicely? That’s right - a grilled cheese sandwich. Also works well on any other type of day. It’s a handy meal. Do me a kindness, next time you’re out there moving about, stop on by the cafe, have yourself one of these gems. Or better yet, enjoy it while listening to some music tonight! madisonkingmusic and lil’ ol’ me johnpedigo are on at 7!
