Every restaurant that has been in that space has had difficulty. Murph's had the longest tenure and it is amazing they stayed open long; there was never anyone in there. I thought the dogs and fries I had at Dudley's were okay, but the burger, Italian Sausage, and Italian Beef could have used some improvement, like fresher bread to begin with. They fixed the place up real nicely, too. It's a shame they had to fold.
I'll be curious to see how the taqueria does. There are a couple in the area but nothing really stellar. Thanks for the update on Dudley's and the new Taqueria.
"People are too busy in these times to care about good food. We used to spend months working over a bonne-femme sauce, trying to determine just the right proportions of paprika and fresh forest mushrooms to use." -Karoly Gundel, Blue Trout and Black Truffles: The Peregrinations of an Epicure, Joseph Wechsberg, 1954.
