COMIC: BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS

Bottomless mimosas are both a blessing and a curse - especially if you're the type to not feel alcohol until the moment you stand up. We've had brunches before when that glass (or flute or whatever) just seems to never go empty. Every time you turn around your half full glass become completely full once more. And the mimosas at local fave The Chestnut Tree are even more impressive than that. The abundance of flavors makes for a different glass every refill and ability to serve yourself means that you won't feel ashamed about your mimosa-habit every time the waiter walks by and side-eyes you. Anna Ryan knows what we're talking about. The comic and artist put together this 5-panel comic strip documenting a meal with accompanying mimosas at The Chestnut Tree. She showcases what may be an all-too-familiar scene that may occur if your bottomless mimosa glass gets refilled a few too many times.

So shut up about your chilis. I wanna talk soup. 

It's cold out y'all. Like frostbite cold. You know what's awesome when it's super cold outside? Putting your pants in the dryer on high for ten minutes and then putting them on. I'm not sure there's a better feeling in life than really hot pants on a really cold morning. But just below that, soup is also really awesome when it's cold outside. So, let's talk about it for a while. 

We thought long and hard about what Denton has to offer in terms of soup and came up with a list of five soups that we can honestly recommend to you. Eat 'em while it's still cold. Soup is more difficult during Texas summers.
