Dont Wake The Bear

Dancing Bear Pub
1117 Speight Ave
Waco, Texas 76710
254-753-0025
TDB



After hearing about this place on Facebook and from the guys at Wacoboard, I decided it was time to give the place a try. They are a nice little local Waco pub, with a wide variety of beers and food from the place next door- Food For Thought. From the outside it doesn’t look like much; but when you walk in… bam. They place is really nice, clean, nicely decorated. Very calm atmosphere.

I finally hit them up yesterday, but I didn’t really do my research so I ended up there about 20 minutes before they opened up (4:00pm). Well instead of leaving and wasting gas, I just decided to wait it out in my car and catch up with a couple of my cousins. Once they opened I was obviously the first person in, but not by much. By around 4:30, there were already 8 more people. That’s pretty cool.
I sat up at the bar to watch tv and so I could see who all comes in and what they drink. Im generally not a big beer drinker besides Dos Equis Lager and the occasional Killians. When you go to a pub like this, you gotta give it a whirl. I ordered one of their Oktoberfest beers; I believe it was Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. It was light orange color, not very foggy, small head. The aroma hit me with cinnamon and light pumpkin & vanilla; was pretty awesome. The flavor was a lot like pumpkin pie, but much lighter and sweet. While enjoying my beer I ended up talking to a guy about what is going on in the Big 12…. Pretty interesting talk, always gotta appreciate different views and insights… cool guy. Jeff, the bartender seems to really know about beer, which is obviously good. Most of the guys who came in just asked Jeff for a recommendation, and 9 times out of 10 he nailed it. They also let you sample the tap beers first, which is nice. I sampled the beer of the day, but it was too hoppy for me.

I never did order food, for two reasons; 1) I didn’t realize they didn’t start serving food till 5 and 2) they get their food from Food for Thought (which I haven’t eaten at yet). I really wanted pizza, but didn’t want to order a full one for myself or wait till 5. So I talked to a friend of mine, and hopefully we will be hitting the bear this weekend for some more beer and a homemade pizza.

For my first time there, I really enjoyed it and I’m disappointed it took me so long to try this joint out. They have a nice selection of beer, supposedly good food and game night once a week. It’s not far from my house, so I’ll definitely be going more often. So if you are a beer lover, you should really give this place a try and tell'em DavieG sent ya.

Drive In Walk Up







B.C. Lees Drive-In
104 Hillsboro Dr
Waco, TX 76704-3108
(254) 799-6916


For the next 3-4 weeks, I’ll be eating out a lot more. Finally having the kitchen totally revamped; new floor, new appliances, new lighting, new walls, cupboards, counter-top…. new just about everything. Once it is done, it should be really awesome. Today was the start of it… started ripping up part of the floor boards. So pizza delivery for dinner, cereal for breakfast and for lunch I tried Lee’s Drive-In.

You can find this little joint over off Elm, right behind Jasper's BBQ. In this little square half block you can get the best of both worlds- BBQ and Greasy Goodness. Lee’s is a literal drive in—not drive though, not walk in… you actually drive up, park, get out and go place your order at the window. They give you a ticket, and then you either go back to your car or chill out side till they call your number over the speaker. Pretty nifty.

They have your basic menu; Burgers, ham & cheese sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, Korny dogs, fried fish, etc. Also got cookies, sodas, and shakes. One of their newer items, which seemed really interesting, is Chicken Tails. I love chicken tails, Ill snag them at work every once in a while when our rotisserie chickens still have their tails. But I was in a burger mood today; ordered me a cheese burger with mayo, lettuce and pickles with a side of fries.

On the way home I notice the bag my burgers in is starting to get a grease spot… always a good sign. Got home and dug in. It smelled great, just like a burger should. It was a pretty dang good burger; the meat was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy with great flavor. The veggies were fresh, the bun was nicely toasted and something about the mayo was really interesting. The mayo had a light golden hue to it, and was really sweet. I wonder if they mixed honey mustard or something else into it… but it was really good. It was a pretty tasty burger, and will definitely being going back for another one. The fries were your run of the mill plain fries that need salt, pepper and a little ketchup. Next time I go I really wanna try their Chicken Tails and maybe one of their shakes.

So over all it was a pretty good meal. There aren’t many burger joints in that part of town, so if you are every down there and craving a burger, hit them up. Just something a little different than usual.
---And Ill update this once I try the Chicken Tails and whatever else I might try next time.

Gonna Miss Their CFS

Just found out this weekend that Bill & Bobs will be closing their doors, only to stay in the Catering Business. They have some of the best Fork Tender, Flavorful, Chicken Fried Steaks in Town... now we will have to settle for second best; They also had a great, basic, American menu. They have been part of Waco for decades and it will be sad to see them close down. Hopefully, someone will buy their location and keep it open as a locally owned and operated restaurant with the same drive and quality as Bill & Bobs.

~My Hat off to you Bill & Bobs~

Best Burritos in Town





Lolitas Restaurante
1911 Franklin Ave
Waco, TX 76701
254-755-8008


One of the best breakfast & lunch joints in Texas. I’ve been eating here for as long as I can remember. The place is owned and run by Jerry & Lolly Bergstad; but as of recently due to health reasons, it is mostly Lolly & their oldest son that you’ll be seeing there. Whenever you go in, you should definitely say hi to them, they are great people. They have been a part of Waco's restaurant scene for decades, and I hope they stay around for decades more.

Gerry is German descent and I believe from North Dakota, where Lolly is Hispanic… so go figure. They serve authentic Mexican food and burritos for lunch and breakfast, with a menu and pricing that can’t be beat. My favorite thing to get there is their breakfast burritos; their Bacon, egg, cheese and potato and their chorizo, egg, and potato. There are also plenty of items I haven’t had a chance to try yet like their enchiladas, menudo, barbacoa, and their guisada. But today I am gonna talk about my usual breakfast.

This morning I called in a pick-up order of; 2 Bacon, egg, potato, and cheese burritos, 2 chorizo, egg, potato and cheese, and a slice of their cake. All of this cost me $10.99 on the dot. That isn’t bad for 4 freshly made burritos and homemade cake. A lot better than that crap you get from a chain burrito place that moved here a while back, that gives you more filler than anything else. Quality is more important than quantity… and if you think about it, about 3 of Lolita’s burritos is equal to the size of the other others place and come to be about the same price. If you wanna get a giant burrito you can always grab one of their "Elephante", which is a 10inch burrito filled with; sausage, bacon, beans, egg, potato and cheese...and what a deal.

The chorizo burritos are great; they are tender, have great flavor that balance well with whatever you throw in there with it. If you don’t know what chorizo is, don’t look it up until after you’ve downed one of these babies. The potatoes carry their own with the . The eggs are freshly cooked and aren’t over cooked like many places I’ve been. No single ingredient really pops alone, but when they morph together; it is perfect harmony. The B/E/P/C burritos are my favorite; I get these more often than anything else. The eggs are tender and flavorful, perfectly cooked. The Potatoes are tender with no real seasoning, but the way they cook them adds some major flavor. The cheese is warm, gooey and awesome. They don’t use American cheddar or Velveeta or any of that crap. It looks like they use a white cheddar or pepper jack. The bacon is my best part; perfectly crispy, never chewy, cooked in its own deliciously great fat/grease. LOVE IT.

The tortillas are delicious and soft with great flavor. I usually hate flour tortillas, but these don’t have the over powering flour flavor that many do. Oh and did I mention it seems that they seem to cook just about all their foods in good ole fashion Lard… the flavor and pop definitely show that with each bite. Their freshly made pico and house salsa are also most excellent. My dad always orders a bunch of pico, and I always snag their salsa. The salsa has a great bite, I could pretty much drink the stuf... okay so I have... like I did this morning. -Dont judge me-

Last but not least their desserts; cookies and cake. When I was younger I used to always get a slice of their pink frosting cake with my burrito. Today was the first time Ive eaten a slice in probably 4 years… insane I know…. But it tasted just as awesome as it did from when I was a kid. Slightly crumbly, moist, mild cinnamon flavor, great smooth vanilla frosting and some sprinkles for crunch; Some great cake. My parent’s favorite dessert to snag there is their sugar cookies. These babies melt in your mouth delicious. Baked fresh with plenty of butter or lard; which lends to the smooth and melty texture of the cookies. To bite in them, they have a slight crunch… then dissolve away to a sugary sweetness, with just a slight “bite.”

If you haven’t tried this little joint out yet, you definitely need to. I’m sure you will greatly enjoy whatever you order from them to chow down on. I have yet to get a bad order from them and love the atmosphere when I dine in. They open up pretty early in the morning and close around 2 every day, but they are close on Mondays..

I do have one little peeve though; If you decide you wanna go through the drive through… please call in your order. Many people will go through the DT and place their order at the window. These orders are made to order… not pre-made… so the drive through can be very slow. My recommendation is, if you want some grub to go; call ahead, then go inside. Will be much faster and much appreciated by the Jerry and Lolly. Jerry used to actually have a sign that requested people to call ahead their orders, but people kept tearing it down. Apparently dialing 7 numbers and giving your order is too difficult for most. My dad always joked around saying he “would stand outside the window and program Lolitas number into everyone’s cell phone.”

Texas Flavor

Heitmiller Steak House
4509 N. IH 35, Ext. 339
Lacy Lakeview, Texas
(254) 867-1400
http://www.heitmillersteakhouse.com/




So after a week of having fellow employees telling me that I need to try Heitmillers, a place Ive driven by probably 100 times, and I didn’t even know it existed. They are a locally owned and operated steak, who has been in Waco for decades, and only changed hands of ownership once. Apparently they are well known for their selection and cooking of steaks, as well as their giant chicken fried steaks.

On my first day off, my father and I decided we go try it out. He had been to the original one, but not this new one. Apparently they used to be hole in the wall with great food; but due to expanding the highway and the government had right of way or whatever it was called, they had to close the old one and relocate. Turned out to be a great deal for them it seems; they got a great location right off I-35 and right between 3 Local Colleges (TSTC, MCC and Baylor), and their new place is just huge and max out. Big enough for over a 100 people, huge ole cast chandeliers, frosted windows, even a big ole gift shop. The only big down side to the size of the place was the acoustics; not exactly nice on the ears… really messed with my dad hearing aids.

As we walk in I notice to the side, a sign with the daily specials- CFS or CFC with corn or green beans and mashed potatoes. Which is perfect, cause I wanted to snag one of those. I almost will never order a steak at a restaurant… only on very special occasions and only if I know the chef… cause I can cook a steak like there is no tomorrow. Since there are two of us we split it up; I get the CFC and my dad gets the CFS. I order mine with corn and loaded mashed potatoes, he orders green beans and regular mashed potatoes.

While waiting for our food, we chill and talk about politics and football. Notice a few movers and shakers of Waco are enjoying a lunch there, together. Blow bubbles in our chocolate milk. Check out the cute waitresses. You know, the usual stuff.

Our food comes, looking delicious and all… couldn’t really smell it, the place is really well ventilated. The first thing I notice is the size of my dad chicken fried steak… it is about the size of a football. My chicken fried chicken is only half the size, weirdly enough it looks like a pre-made frozen one. I try my CFC; it is fork tender, juicy, good flavor and the batter is nice, flavorful and crunchy. It was a pretty decent chicken fried chicken, but not the best Ive ever had. Next I tried the corn, which, just by looking I could tell it wasn’t fresh corn… even tasted like canned corn…. Which was really disappointing, too many places used canned over fresh or frozen. Then I snag a bite of my dad’s chicken fried steak; fork tender, good flavor, very nice batter. Definitely one of the best CFS I have eaten. Last but not least, the loaded mashed potatoes- gravy, bacon, cheese, chives; The mashed potatoes were made from scratch, they alone had really good flavor and mashed texture. What was odd though was the use of freshly chopped chives, but they used canned bacon bits…. Kind of a downer. But Bacon is Bacon…. Except to-bacon and tur-bacon.

Over all I had a really nice experience and enjoyed the food, and will be going back to try some other items on their menu…including the Calf fries. Who knows I just might even snag a steak; as I do recall they have a ½ a CFS with a Steak deal. So ya, if you are ever down in the MCC/ TSTS area or are heading to/from Dallas or maybe you just want a giant CFS or Steak… go ahead and give Heitmiller a try. I doubt you will be disappointed.

for once my co-workers were right ;)

Definitely Not Hippie Food




Beatnix Burger Barn & Cafe
1700 Colcord
Waco, Texas
254-235-9555
Mon. - Sat.: 11:30am - 3:30pm
Fri. & Sat. Nights: 1:00 am to 4:00 am
http://www.beatnixcoffee.com/home

Earlier today I saw a picture posted by Wacoboard.com of a burger from Beatnix Café & Burgers. Id never eaten at Beatnix before, just the burger joint that was there before them. So I decided I would go snag lunch from Beatnix today… this is that story… dunh dunh dunh…

The place isn’t very hard to find, its right off 18th street and Colcord, and with its wildly colored Graffiti it sticks right out. I pulled around and parked in the back, as I got out of my car I could smell the delicious grease from the flattop and fryers. Always a good sign.

As you walk in you here 70’s rock in the background and are hit with the aroma of fried goodness. They weren’t real busy, only 4 other people in there… which was kinda nice not having to deal with a line. I’m greeted by the owners and while chatting, I glance over the menu. They have burgers, different types of cheese steaks, vegan meals, plenty of sides, coffee stuff and plenty of other items. I go with their Bacon, Egg and Cheese Burger- crispy bacon, American cheese, fried egg, pickles, lettuce and mayo on a toasted bun. Sounds Most Excellent, Right! I also get a side of their sweet potato fries and a sweet tea.

While waiting for my food, I look over the menu to see what all I missed out on and what I will get next time- The Texas Cheese Steak. I also notice that they are open on Friday and Saturday nights from 1am-4am, to serve food coming from the bars and whatnot. I know what I’m doing next time I go out for heavy drinking with my friends… Beatnix for French Toast and burgers. I talked to Benn for a bit, while my food was prepping. About how they were slammed with a line out the door last Friday and the register broke down, so he had to use a calculator to make change. Two of the guys enjoying a burger there, were the two first guys to every come to Beatnix’s mid-night opening.

My burger and fries arrive, open faced so you can see all the awesomeness. Lets start with the sweet potato fries first: they were steaming hot, crispy and sweet, seemed like they might’ve had a layer of brown sugar on them. I liked them a lot better that the Ore-Ida style sweet potato fries so many places serve. If you like sweet potatoes, definitely need to order yourself a batch of these babies.

The burger: Nicely toasted bun. The bacon; perfectly cooked, crispy, hot, Smokey and flavorful. The pickles and lettuce were nice, crispy and fresh tasting. The cheese was melted, warm, gooeyness. The meat was nicely cooked, hot, juicy and great flavor which had taken on extra smokeyish greaseyish awesome flavor from the greatly seasoned flattop- almost indescribable awesomeness. All coming together to make one most excellent burger, a mini orgasm in the mouth. OH yes, I went there, a mini orgasm.

While eating my burger, Benn asked me how my burger was, I replied that I “really liked it” he replied with a totally hippie “sweeeeet.” Haha Damn Hippies….. just kidding ;)

Definitely one of the best burger joints in town, and will most definitely be going back there soon. Great people, good atmosphere, and great food… and apparently BYOB. If you haven’t been here yet, make a date in your calendar, and check them out- whether it be for lunch, a Fri/Sat night, or one of their live music/poetry nights. There is just so much to this place.

Tell’em DavieG sent ya.

No Reservation BBQ



Rusty Star BBQ
10600 N River Xing
Waco, TX 76712-2523
(254) 848-7827


The Eyes Of Texas Are Upon You
P XII


After a morning of working out at my ranch (finally had some great weather), with only a cold McGriddle & hash brown to fuel me, I obviously got pretty hungry. So I decided to try this BBQ joint right off Highway 6, on the way back to Waco. They’ve been there for years, I just never bothered trying them, and Im not sure why… I think partially could I have heard some complaints about them, but that shouldn’t have stopped me. ALL BBQ MUST BE TRIED.

This is the Rusty Star; Ted Nugents choice for BBQ and was featured on Anthony Bourdain’s- No Reservations. I haven’t seen the episode yet, so I’m not just what the point blank and sarcastic Tony thought… but this is my opinion on the joint.

So I pull up in their lot, and as I get out I get hit with the smell of sweet BBQ smoke. You walk in; it’s a quaint little place, greeted as you walk in, there are already a few people sitting around enjoying some Q. I walk up to the counter to stare over the menu; they have your basics- brisket, sausage, turkey, pulled pork, ribs…. All of which you can get by the pound, on a sandwich or a plate with sides. They have plenty of sides to choose from; potato salad, jalapeno salad, slaw, beans, etc… as well as deviled eggs and desserts.

I go with the 2 meat plate; Sliced brisket, pork ribs, jalapeno potato salad and slaw… With the amenities of pickles, bread and sauce. I pick up a couple of pulled pork sandwiches for my folks, and a couple deviled eggs for later. Im not sure if they weigh it out, of just eye it, but my plate came with two long strips of brisket and a single rib. It was enough to fill me up, along with the sides.

The first item I try is the brisket; it has a nice smoke ring, good amount of fat, good bark, good flavor… but unfortunately it was a little dry… kind of seemed like it had been precut. Next was the rib; juicy, tender off the bone, good seasoning on the bark… was really good. One of the better ribs I have eaten lately. Now for the potato salad I could’ve got plain or jalapeno… well I just had to try the jalapeno. This is actually the first place I’ve seen offer it, so I had to jump on it. It was pretty good; creamy, flavorful, with some slice jalapenos thrown it. I could’ve eaten another serving or two of that. I think next time I make some potato salad I’m going to though in some Sweet & Spicy jalapenos. The slaw was pretty good too; fresh, not dry, crunchy, seasoned well… maybe a little much on the pepper, but was still good. The BBQ sauce was alright, your run of the mill sweet with a little spice, good consistency.

Later that day I tried the deviled eggs… but ultimately disappointed in them as all I could taste was egg and mustard. I like mustard, but this was too much and I couldn’t tell if there was anything else in them. I also snagged a bite of the pulled pork from my dad’s sandwich. It was alright, a little dry, but good flavor. If they had thrown some of their BBQ sauce on it while it was still warm, it would’ve been a lot better.

So over all I thought it was pretty good. The atmosphere was nice, the food was good, and they have some items most others in town don’t. I’ll be stopping by there more often on the way to/from my ranch. It’s not too far outside of Waco, so if you ever want to give them a try don’t hold back, it’ll be worth it and you might even run into the Motor City Mad Man.


Now time to go find the episode where they are featured on No Reservations, and see how it stands up to Tony.

Gut Pack Snack Attack




Vitek’s BBQ
1600 Speight Avenue
Waco, Texas 76706
254-752-7591
http://www.viteksbbq.com/



I’ve been eating lunch at Vitek’s since I was a little kid. I remember going there with my father and cousins, ordering the Gut Pack and chilling outside on the bench tables. I remember one time we were all chilling out side, and a bunch of very pretty Baylor students sat across from us; one of my cousins cracked a joke so funny, I ended up shooting big red out my nose... so NOT cool... but ya.

Back then V’s was a pretty small place; a single line for food, limited seating inside and out, a smaller menu… a perfect little BBQ joint. The Baylor students loved it, the locals loved it, and people would come from out of town to try’em out. Then while I was living in Galveston, I believe they had some family difficulties and closed it down for a bit. They eventually reopened it and then soon after remodeled the entire joint; now it’s a giant, nice, clean looking joint, with a bigger menu, more seating, live music, etc. Its great what they’ve done to the place, and they are doing better than ever.

They are known around for their Gut Pack which consists of; Fritos, beans, cheese, brisket and BBQ sauce. It’s like a super deluxe Frito Pie. I’ve always gotten the Gut Pack, sin frijoles. The name sure does fit; it fills you up and tastes delicious. If you don’t think you can devour a full one, they do sell a smaller version…. Wah wah wah.

Today I decided to try something else. So after looking over the menu, I choose to go with the 2 meat plate; Grilled Turkey, Homemade sausage, potato salad, slaw, wheat bread and a large Dublin Dr. Pepper. Sounds delicious... be jealous.

The first thing I try is their homemade sausage; this was some of the best sausage I’ve ever had. It had nice texture of a mild grind, the casing wasn’t too chewy. The sausage was nicely seasoned with pepper, garlic and other spices that were less prominent. Next I tried the grilled turkey; it was pretty good, nothing really special about it. They must just grill the whole turkey breast, and then slice it, since the grill marks were just on the side. It wasn’t dried out or bland, it was good for what it was. The potato salad was very good; nice and chunky, with some potato skins thrown in, a nice amount of mustard and with a hint of jalapenos or tabasco sauce…something gave a nice little kick to the potato salad. My least favorite dish was their cole slaw. It was fresh, too fresh in my opinion. The slaw looked juicy enough, but it hadn’t set long enough so the veggies weren’t very flavorful. All I could taste was the cabbage and other veggies, I couldn’t taste the dressing. I think cole slaw should be allowed to sit for a while so the cabbage can absorb the dressing.

Over all Viteks is a great place to grab lunch and a Waco Institution. The food is great, the service is excellent and friendly, the same goes for the atmosphere of the place. I think next time I’ll try the Brisket Tacos that Luke from WacoBoard told me about; didn’t even know they had them.

So if you are ever looking for some good Q, should definitely check this place out.

A Taste of The Yankees



Metro Restaurant + Bar
719 Austin Ave.
Waco, Texas 76710
(254)-399-8635
http://www.metrowaco.com/



Before there was Metro R&B there was Austin’s on the Ave. I pretty much lived at Austin’s for the first 2 years they were open; celebrated my 21st there, spent many nights after class & work there and eventually I even got a job as one of the cooks when they first opened the kitchen. I knew everyone and everything about the place, was a great bar with great atmosphere and with decent food. So when I heard that Austin & Leslie were selling the place, I was really worried about who might move in. Would they leave it as Austin’s, would they improve or kill the kitchen, how would they change the lay out, would they still rock the live music weekly.

To be honest when I heard that they were gonna change the name to “Metro R&B” I was a little caught off guard. Then I heard they were revamping the whole menu… which was good, it needed that. I just wasn’t expecting such a huge change. And with the claims of it being “Fresh”, “made in house” and “best chefs in Waco”; I was a little hesitant on trying this joint out. When a joint claims to have the “best chefs” in Waco… that’s a lot to live up to… especially since I’m not working there ;)

Their menu isn’t your everyday Waco food; they got special hotdogs, some interesting sandwiches like pizza steak & lamb with beef, different style “Phillies. They have fried plantains, knish, fried provolone, etc. As well as your run of the mill pastas, buffalo wings, salads and fries. They have just a little bit of everything.

My first experience with them was one night after hopping a few bars & I was looking for some chow. Garrett’s had already closed their kitchen, so I reluctantly popped into Metro. Tania and Laura were working the bar, they are awesome women, I’ve known them both since Austin originally opened. I glance over the menu, kinda one eyeing it. I pick out their “Real Deal Cheese Steak” and a Dos Equis.

So while the sandwich is being made, I catch up with the girls. It finally comes out, doesn’t really take very long. It looks pretty good, smells even better. But looks and smells can be greatly deceiving; the meat had decent flavor but was very chewy, not how “grilled angus steak” for a Philly should be. The cheese wasn’t very flavorful, and there wasn’t a lot of it; a Philly should be COVERED in cheesy awesomeness. The bread was a little dry, and even though I requested “no onions” I found some onions in it. I love Philly Cheese Steaks, so this was “heart breaking.”

After that I was really really reluctant to go again, but I had to give them another try and get to know the place better. So last week for lunch I went by and picked up their “30th Ave Greek Gyro” for myself and the “Havana on the Hudson Cuban” for my father, with a side of “Frites” aka Fries. The Greek Gyro is a lamb & beef sandwich on pita bread, the Havana Cuban is a “Latin twist on the ham & cheese sandwich.” The “frites” are their “hand cut French fries.”

While waiting for my food, I hung around and checked out the changed in the place. They got a couple of big murals in the joint not, apparently the wife of one of the bartenders painted them. Their bar counter lights up all blue now, the kitchen has a big ole window in it; they’ve really revamped the place.

The Gyro was actually pretty dang good. The lamb and beef were nice and tender, great flavor. The lettuce and cucumbers were nice and fresh, added a coolness to the heated lamb & protein; the tzatziki sauce was flavorful and added a nice touch. The pita bread was already very good, not dry or stale, had great flavor. Really enjoyed the sandwich and will definitely be getting it again, after I try a few other menu items. The fries were also pretty good, tasted fresh and seasoned well… they did a good job on those as well.

So over all I think they are heading into the right direction with their food. I will definitely be going back to try a couple more of their menu items; like their plantains, fried provolone, pizza steak and some of their “sabrett NY style hot dogs.” So if you are ever in the d-town area of Waco and are looking for some chow, go ahead and give Metro R&B a try.
