My family's store was recently featured on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown.  My mom and dad opened the store earlier this year and a few months later, they were contacted by Bourdain's producers.  I wasn't able to attend the filming due to no vacation days, but everyone else thought it was a pretty good experience.  My hometown of Palacios, Texas is an interesting place.  The longer I am away, the more I appreciate the place.  It's a melting pot of cultures in the middle of nowhere.  I never once was asked "what are you?" until I left for college.  It took me a while to understand that they were just trying to ask what my heritage was.   Tips: Ask what their ethnicity or heritage is not their nationality.  If you asked my nationality, I would say American, because that's what it is and it's offensive to say "where are you 'really' from?" after I tell you I was born in Texas.

We will be sure to fill you in some of the top highlights of the last couple years in our future posts.  It takes a lot for three busy BRBers to keep in touch there have been lots of touching memes, rants, and just the usual that you all (when I say you all ...I am clearly talking to my self) have come to enjoy.
