Hard to believe, but it's less than a month away until the Cowboys take over my great city. I am totally psyched that they are coming back here. And since I fully expect them to move camp back to CA at some point, I plan on enjoying this year's camp as much as possible.

Who's comin' down to join the fun?

I wonder if there will be another huge kick-off party in the 'Dome like there was in 2007.

I'll be here considering I live in San Antonio. I'll also be hosting a get together on the 9th of August in my (don't own it) restaurant for the TrueBlue forums. I hadn't really announced it anywhere else, but I have 32 spots open out of the 45 available so far. We'll be eatin, drinkin, and watching one of our old Super Bowls on our flat screen in the back room.

If any one is interested, go to aldinos.com and click on the "specials" on top right. That'll take you to a screen and then go to the $10.99 dinner menu for the special menu of the evening.

Our dress code is business casual, but Cowboys gear trumps that.

Well, here's the entire post from over there copied and pasted:
------------------------------------
A few of us have discussed this in the past, and thought it might be an idea to get together at some point during Training Camp for dinner at the restaurant I manage.

After talking with the owners, we've decided on August the 9th which is the second Sunday of camp. We'll have a private banquet room at our disposal that seats approximately 45 people, with direct access to our patio.

For dinner, we'll be showing one of our games that brought home a Lombardi.

Our normal menu runs from about $16 for plain spaghetti and marinara to $38 for Veal Saltimbocca. However, we'll be having a much reduced price menu for the evening that is much more family friendly.

Here is what I've got so far, each of the following a special $10.99.

Soup and Salad

A cup of our Tomato and Leek soup with a Shrimp Caesar Salad.

Pesce Alla Venezie

Sauteed Potato Crusted Tilapia Filet topped with cherry tomato with a white wine buerre blanc sauce. Served with spaghetti alla olio (EV olive oil and sauteed garlic) along with our steamed mixed vegetables.

Chicken Parmesano

Baked Chicken Paremesan served with spaghetti alla olio and vegetables as well

Ravioli di Funghi

Roasted Mushroom Raviolis with a Basil Cream Sauce.

Penne Primavera

Penne Pasta with sauteed diced chicken breast in a Rosini Sauce topped with shaved Asiago Cheese (Rosini sauce is a combination of cream and tomato sauce)

Beef Cacciatore

Cuts of Sauteed Peppered Beef Tenderloin mixed with our Bell Pepper Celery Cacciatore Sauce and Linguini Pasta.

--------------------------------------------

Of course we will have the entire menu available as well. I'm thinking I might also have a few unique appetizers for those who want to sit back and light munch while drinking a few cold ones and discussing the upcoming season.

For those of you unfamiliar with San Antonio, all restaurants are non-smoking, but the patio will be available for those who wish to do so.

Like I said, seating will be limited to 45. You can either PM me here or post in the thread of how many you will have with you. Most likely we'll be arranged into tables with seating of 6 per table. If you would like your own table, that can be arranged.

I'm thinking we'll get started around 5:30 or so and put the game on at 6:00 pm sharp. Dinner will be served at any time as prescribed by the individual. If you just want to sit back and drink a few cold one's, that's more than alright as well.

Since we just lost our hard drives to a collapsing cabinet section, I have yet to update the online menu. The Prix Fix menus will most likely be phased out by August.

Feel free to post any questions about that night or about training camp in general.

Dress code is business casual, but Cowboys gear trumps that any day of the week.

Those of you who have their accounts suspended on the DallasCowboys.com forums are invited to NOT attend.

Saltwater, I don't post here a lot, but I would really enjoy the opportunity to attend your get together. I am a big eater and a big drinker so you will get your dimes worth from me. I am also a bartender so I tip very well. If you have them available, put me down for two seats. My girlfriend, who is a DC native and Commanders fan, will most likely be with me. So that is a great conversation piece. :laugh2:


p.s. I don't know if I am banned from the DallasCowboys.com forums, but if I am it was probably for an outrageous display of intelligence ;)

p.s.s I live in the De Zavala area, I know I have seen Aldino's but cant place it. How close by are you?

p.s.s.s I just check the site, you're very close, even better. More booze for me ;)

Ha, funny you should ask.

Our pastry/bread chef is from Palermo.

My bartenders are from El Salvador, Iran, and Pennsylvania.

My servers are from Israel, Mexico, Argentina, with one who is Italian/Japanese born here.

My kitchen staff has Mexico, Columbia, Bolivia, Peru, and Honduras.

Our sister restaurant's head chef is Italian and creates all of our dishes.

We are applying for special tax discounts via the UN, but I'm not holding my breath. ;)

Me too--bringing the DSLR and High-def camcorder... I'm pretty thrilled that it's finally returned to Texas yet again.

WOW, that's some serious mark-up for a $3 plate of noodles w/ red gravy and $9 plate of breaded calf, spinach and Italian ham!!!
