A Look Back




Long before he was Poodle Superstar, he was just Red Poodle.
This week we look back on some of Poodle's pre -blog exploits.
In April of 2006 Poodle explored the Texas Hill Country, learning first hand about brewing in Shiner. He put that knowledge to good use a few days later in Luckenbach, where he bellied up to the bar like a pro. There's no telling who you're going to see at the bar in Luckenbach. Probably a bunch of tourists. Maybe a Poodle ...

Poly - Pop Poodle

Ever since Poodle 's return from vacationing in our 50th state, he's been enthusiastically sniffing out all things Polynesian. This week found us at home in Dallas, out in front of the yet to be opened Trader Vic's. Once again, it was the windiest day ever. Poodle was in real danger!
This TV is actually opening in the same location as an old TV, so I guess it's actually a reopening. The original tiki for this location was an Easter Island style moai tiki that sat out closer to the street, but they chose to attach this new tiki right to the building. Looking around, there didn't really seem to be place to put a tiki by the street, and I'm sure zoning laws outlaw that sort of thing anyway.
Poodle is looking forward to Mai Tais on the patio when it's not so windy. Zoning laws probably outlaw that too.
