"Here’s a promise: as long as Big Star is in business, it will always be on our Summer Guide. Hell, even if they go out of business, we might include Big Star anyway. That’s how synonymous this patio has become with summer. People will and should continue to line up for all of the tacos and margaritas on a nice day." - sam faye
