Which members of the Lege are getting schmoozed by corporate interests over tacos? Are our mortal enemies doing some bipartisan socializing at the deli counter? And what state reps can't eat a burger without dripping ketchup on their red, white, and blue ties? For answers, politico-watchers can observe state hacks in their natural habitat, the Capitol Grill. It's the works canteen for the state's movers and shakers that frequent our town. Tucked away in the State House underground extension, its breakfast and lunch menus are diverse, day-fresh, and cheap enough to get you grousing about political perks. It's a great way to impress out-of-town visitors who want a behind-the-napkin view of the corridors of Texas power.
