Alicia may not be a hostess, but she is one of the best (and dare we say it: extremely skilled, creative, friendly and professional) bartenders we’ve come across since we were chugging Harvey Wallbangers and Jellybeans (a redneck version of the pousse-cafe) at the OutLook Inn, in Louisville, Kentucky (circa 1978). Oh, and she’s hot too.

La dama es muy caliente! …is all we can think of whenever Silvia is taking us to a patio seat at the Border Grill. Chef Mike Minor may make some the best Mexican food outside of Mexico, but she could even make roasted chapulines with fried cuchuma over braised chinicuiles taste muy perfecto.
These signorinas gracing the entrance of Cafe Giorgio in the Mandalay Place Shoppes are so caldissimo that we would eat there even if Chef Nico Chessa was serving frozen seppie ripiene, stale malfatti, and mediocre minestra di trippa. What he does serve is some of the best Italian food in town.
