Hula Hotties Changes Concepts
03.08.11 A pipe burst in the vacant apartment above Hula Hotties Café during the freeze in February and flooded the little restaurant. It’s been closed since then.
But husband-and-wife owners Jill Inforzato and Roger Simpson are taking the opportunity to change concepts.
“Our spaghetti has been so popular, so I thought, let’s take a dive and make it a little hole-in-the-wall Italian place,” Inforzato says.
Inforzato’s family owned an Italian restaurant in Minnesota for almost 100 years, starting in 1913, she says. And she will use some of those old family recipes in the new restaurant, Inforzato’s Italian Café and Bakery.
Inforzato will still sell the Hula Hotties hot sauces — a venture the couple came up with in Hawaii, where they lived for many years. And they will still offer the same salad dressings, the four-cheese macaroni, cheese bread and, of course, spaghetti and meatballs, which had been the $6 Thursday special at Hula Hotties and will continue under the new concept.

Elotes At Taqueria El Si Hay
03.08.11 At night, it becomes more than just tacos when Jose brings his elotes cart to serve the masses. He sets up around 5:30 p.m. and serves until he runs out. Elotes is a layered dish of roasted corn, generous portions of butter, salt and pepper, sour cream, Mexican cheese and a little chili sauce in a Styrofoam cup. My husband orders mine the same every time: “con un poco de chile.” Jose laughs, “Ahhh, para su esposa.” When I asked Jose the largest number of elotes he has sold in one evening, he answered in Spanish, “It just depends on how many people line up. On the weekends, it can be over a hundred.”
I am not kidding when I say that I dream about elotes, and wake up wanting them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At $2.50 each, I’d say it’s the best value in Dallas.
