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.

So happy for Joshua Ray Walker and his new release . The album cover stands as what could’ve been had he not triumphed through his battle with cancer. And lucky us, because it’s a beautiful piece of art that stretches time and space. Go over to Good Records or your local record shop to get you a copy. On the way there, stream it wherever you listen to that kinda stuff. You’re gonnna dig it. We know we do.

A bittersweet First Thursday Open Mic at the Cafe this week. Come bid Claire best wishes on her next adventures as this will, sadly, be her last week serving and bartending at AllGood. But Greener pastures lay ahead for her and hers. Let’s all celebrate the good times and hoist many a glass to her good fortunes. Bring your songs and instruments. We got the mics and the grub. 7-9ish.

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.

“I order the club sandwich all the time and I'm not even a member, man.” This turkey club is the bomb. Seen here on some sourdough bread, it’s so perfectly crafted. Turkey and Bacon saying howdy. That slice of Gouda is like, “say whaaa?” And that toothpick holding it all together. This thang’s putting out “daaaaaang” vibes.

Anybody wanna put on some jeans and play some volleyball? Quick rabbit hole : Irene Cara’s Flashdance theme song went #1 on this day in 1983. The movie used the song in a montage/music video style that the producers (Bruckheimer and Gibson) continued to use in most of their subsequent films including, of course, Top Gun that used K-Log’s “Danger Zone” to great success. The 80’s were sooo radical. Speaking of radical, tonight I’m gonna high-five everyone at the and show here at the cafe tonight. It’ll be totally bodacious.

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.

The [Big Matches] are coming to Dallas in a “Global Glass” kinda way. We can’t say the name of the event because it’s trademarked, but let’s just say, it’s a world-class soccer thang. With that in mind, we’re looking for a server/bartender to help us on the adventures throughout and beyond. Ever wondered what it would be like to eat a chicken fried chicken every single day? Now’s your chance. Come by and apply.

We are open today! Memorial Migas. Blue skies. The cooler’s loaded and iced. Got some hot dogs ready for the back burner. Let’s get down to business. First, a Bloody Mary and mimosas for everybody.

In Rochester, NY., they have a dish called the Garbage Plate (pictured 2nd). It’s insane: two burger patties worth of meat with cheese, a macaroni salad, and krinkle cut fries all doused with mustard and ketchup. To eat it is to wonder, “Why!?” In Cincinnati, OH., they love their spaghetti loaded up with a kinda-sweet chili mess topped with two tons of grated cheddar cheese. (Pictured 3rd). It’s an acquired taste. And in Deep Ellum, Texas, we have “The Boracho Biscuit.” It’s kinda like Grandma’s biscuits and gravy but only after your crazy uncle showed up and tossed queso and sausage and pico and jalapeños and avocados all over it. It is pure deliciousness. And on this holiday weekend, it’s the perfect cure for what ails.

I’ve been tailgating all night long, because it’s “World Paloma Day!” Yeah! It’s finally here for all of us to celebrate. We’ve been waiting weeks, putting in the training. You might be thinking, “Well, Johnny, today’s a thirsty day like any other - six on one, half on the other.” True, Jethro. But today is special because someone on the internet said it was an “official food and drink holiday.” So - Come drink a Paloma or a few today with tequila or mezcal. Then warsh it down with some classic Hank Williams music tonight with this world-class band. deeringmilo , scarlettlovescats , and Rick Babb play the hits from 7 or so until 9 or so. Happy Hour is from 4-8!

I could look at chicken fried steaks and chickens all day every day. Just look at this thang. Hot and golden. It’s saying, “Ay there, you. Whatcha doin’? Why don’t ya take a lil’ bite, hmm?” I’m not playing with my food, Mom. I’m hanging out with it. Risner means business tonight. He writes songs that are reallll good and sings all purty like. Do yous a favor and come out. You’ll be glad you did.

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!

In case you were about to google search “did Cher and Jimmy Stewert ever have a joint birthday party,” I’ve gone ahead and helped you out. The answer is, sadly, no. Can you imagine that rager? Maybe they do a lil’ duet of “I Got You Babe.” Martini himself is tending bar. Clarence is flying high above. For some reason, I’m reminded of a lil’ hidden quote written below a picture of Pa Bailey from It’s a Wondeful Life : “All that you can take with you is that which is given away.”

To quote a wise man who loves Jell-O shots : failing to plan is planning to fail. That sage wisdom guides me this morning while enjoying this delicious omelette. Let’s get to planning. THURSDAY - I’m very excited to join the amazing as part of her residency. These shows have been going so great and are a ton of fun. Make it down - you’ll love it. FRIDAY, Risner hops in the ol’ AllGood deep end. He sings like Vince Gill talking like Jerry Reed. He also juggles when he’s not fishing. SATURDAY, a band of ringers playing Hank Williams tunes called Ghost Named Hank comes to the stage led by Milo Deering and Rick Babb - these guys bring the good stuff. Man - Turns out, planning is easy when you just think about it. Who knew?

I’m not sure who the “they” are that decide this, but “they’ve” really thought up something to celebrate for everyday of the year. I’m probably wayyy late to the party, and most of you already party down on “National No Dirty Dishes Day,” but for those of us who didn’t yet know - Woooowee! No dishes! Imma gonna order take out. Dishes are stupid!!! Paper plates for life!!! (Or at least for today…)

If you’re ever wondering to yourself, “Do I want breakfast or lunch or dinner?”

Overwhelmed by opinions? Tired of having to sift and scroll through endless social media drivel? Might I recommend getting off the phone tonight and comin’ on down to the Cafe. tommylukemusic is an incredible talent, puts on one hell of a show, and plays at 7pm. Plus we’ve got a crazy great happy hour that lasts until 8. BUT! Even if you don’t come to our place - go out and listen to some live music somewhere, go see a play, or go to an art gallery. We must cultivate our gardens!
On a side plate : Happy Birthday Mike Taylor. May the Jell-O shots and Miller Lites flow like iced white wine.

I don’t know about you, but this week’s got me pancaked. I guess the only way through it is through it, am I right? See you a lil’ later at Happy Hour 4pm-8pm where we’ve get to kick this weekend off good and proper. First things first, pancakes.

It took me a long time to notice that the “hottest bar in NYC” in the movie “Cocktail” was actually a TGI Fridays. The 80’s were wild, man. Speaking of wild, we’ve got a brand new HAPPY HOUR that starts TONIGHT and runs late every Thursday thru Saturday night 4-8pm. Great deals for you! Playing tonight, of course, is the oh-so-wonderful madisonkingmusic along with FTW’s own slflory. Also making a long awaiting debut: Oak Highlands Brewery’s beer. (If we didn’t own the trademark, I’d get on their case about the lowercase G.) Anyways, with all this crazy news, I’d loose my grip if i didn’t remember Caughlin’s Law : “Never show surprise, never lose your cool.”

Wednesdays are great for planning your Thursdays - which, if you think about it, are kinda the perfect evening. You’re starting the weekend off, and possibilities are as endless as your imagination. There’s no better way to get-to-that weekend gettin’ than to hang with Madison King on Thursdays. This week, she brings the one and only slflory along for the ride. if you need a lil’ more enticing, we’re kicking off a new happy hour Thursdays-Saturdays 4pm-8pm with all kinds of deals. Show starts at 7pm and says the weather’ll be juuuuuust right.

Both Robin and Mike Snider share the same adoration of Bob Dylan, admiring his resolve and rejection of norms. On this day in 1963, Bob was scheduled to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. After the CBS network executives tried to force him to change the (already approved) song he was slated to play, Bob promptly refused to perform and middle-fingered his way out of the studio, choosing not to bend his art to appease some suited-execs. Good on you Bob! This type of power struggle continues today with overreach into the arts and entertainment. Look at CBS still continuing to meddle - most recently with Colbert.

An All-New, AllGood Happy Hour starts THIS Thursday and will run EVERY Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 4-8pm. Does it seem like we’ve added too many happy hours and let the party go late? Well, that’s just right by us. $3 Cans of Beer, $4 Wells, Half-Price Bottles of Wine, $4 off Nachos, and $12 Delicious Burgers. It’s the happiest of hours while we’re laughing and smiling.
