One "Casita Jorge's" survived, the 1 on Hancock Drive, bought by traders, with the similar decor and foodstuff, but without Tony Bennett, and without Jorge Arredondo climbing out of a bowl of chili on the menu cover.

I did consume at the old Jorge's on Hancock Drive, but they experienced been tinkering with the menu and managed to damage the dish I requested (effectively, they extra bacon to a breakfast dish, which I now see has grow to be typical, if improper). Well, take a girl with a dim minimal imagination, add a traumatic childhood experience or 20, marinate for 10 many years in the ill social stew of the general public faculty system, and presto: You've Got Goth!
In 2021 I find out that Jorge handed away on November 29, 2020. His authorized name was actually George C. Arredondo, and, aged 87, he was born on November 10, 1933. The area NBC affiliate in Austin interviewed relatives customers -- he experienced five children -- and bought their recollections about Jorge and his places to eat.
