SACRAMENTO, CA - JANUARY 10: California Governor Jerry Brown speaks to reporters as he announces his proposed budget at the California State Capitol on January 10, 2011 in Sacramento, California. Governor Brown announced a balanced state budget that cuts spending by $12.5 billion and includes an eight to ten percent cut in take home pay for state employees and proposes a "vast and historic" restructuring of government operations. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Gov. Jerry Brown's plan for five-year tax extensions is stalled, but he's not giving up. He released the above Youtube video today making the case for his original plan.
But in Sacramento, the main parlor game is now: what should Brown's Plan B be, given that Republicans seem unlikely to put his tax extension on the ballot.
The thinking in this area is not particularly strong. LA Times columnist George Skelton this morning offers his three options -- none of which is a realistic option. Let's look at each of the three and the problems with each:
1. "Offer the GOP a better deal and try to convince unions it's the best bargain they're going to get."
PROBLEM: The unions won last November's elections so they are in no mood to surrender to Republicans who just got beat. In general, a plan that requires surrender by one side in a dispute is not politically viable.
2. "If the GOP Five still won't budge, employ a traditional "pick off" strategy in the Legislature. Bargain with Republicans individually. If they won't buy into the policy, dangle pork and perks."
PROBLEM: This is the closest to a real strategy. The problem is: it's the same old strategy, and Brown has insisted he's not the same-old, same-old. If you buy Republicans, that costs money, money the state doesn't have. One reason California budgets are so full of gimmicks and produce large deficits is all the extra purchases of votes needed to get 2/3 of the legislature to agree.
3. "And if all else fails, Brown should break a foolish campaign promise he made in winning election last year."
PROBLEM: The promise Skelton is referring to is Brown's promise not to raise taxes without voter approval. Skelton wants the governor to just raise taxes without the public vote. The problem is that it still takes 2/3 of the legislature -- and thus the votes of at least 4 Republicans -- to raise taxes (the same barrier for putting a new measure on the ballot asking voters to raise taxes. And it's likely to be more difficult to get Republicans to vote for a straight tax increase than it is to get them to give voters the choice of tax extensions. In short, Skelton's suggestion makes no sense.
The fact that someone as smart and experienced as Skelton can't come up with a viable option for Brown shows just how stuck the governor -- and the California system of government -- is. Brown's only real options in this circumstance amount to these:
1. Take the Republicans up on their offer to vote to put his tax extensions on the ballot -- if he will agree to put their own tax cuts on the ballot. Yes, the spending cuts would be even more disastrous if the GOP tax cuts were to win. But if Brown wants his plan, it's a risk he may have to take.
2. Use an aggressive legal manuever to put the tax extensions on the ballot via a majority vote. (This could be done by altering a previously approved voter initiative--a tactic that would almost certainly be challenged in court).
Neither of these are good options. But they would give him a chance of getting his tax extensions on the ballot. In the end, however, the only way out of this budget fix is to redesign the state's fiscal and governing systems themselves. That requires constitutional revision. And so far, no one, least of all Brown, is willing to go there.

statistically speaking, if a player is shooting efficiently while his scoring average drops a tad, i'm not worried. teams change and while his points may be down, his assists are up, so he's contributing in other ways. additionally, Andre averaged 1.3 fewer points per game than the previous season, but hig fg percentage rose from .445 to .460. that's certainly a noticeable improvement.

here's the real question for me: were we a better team with Andre on the court than otherwise? we absolutely were; no question about it. i expected that, but the difference is so glaring that i'd say he exceeded those expectations.

Attorneys quickened the pace in jury selection Wednesday in the
George Zimmerman trial.
On a third day of juror questioning, the lawyers sought to whittle
down the pool of hundreds of potential jurors to just six, plus four
alternates, who will decide the fate of Zimmerman, a Florida
neighborhood watch captain. In Florida, 12 jurors are required only for criminal trials involving capital cases, when the death penalty is being considered.
On Tuesday, attorneys for Martin and Zimmerman questioned 10 potential jurors at the Seminole County Courthouse -- three men and seven women. By the end of the day, 30 jurors had been dismissed.
Despite the case's high profile and the worldwide media attention, the Central Florida jury-pool members told attorneys they were open-minded and haven't formed opinions on what happened the night in February 2012 when Zimmerman shot Martin.
Sources of information where potential jurors heard about the case varied. One college-aged young woman said she read about the case on her Facebook feed. Another had heard about it through her church. Circuit Judge Debra Nelson ruled that the potential jurors remain anonymous, so they are being identified only by their juror number.
For the first time, we heard from two black potential jurors. One, a middle-aged man, says he watched the coverage on Fox News and disagreed with the way a congresswoman handled herself."I didn't think it was necessary to say the young man was hunted down like a rabid dog. No one was there but these two guys, I don't think he was hunted," juror B35 said. "I don't know what happened because I wasn't there. But I don't think it was racially motivated."
Although he told the court that most of his friends were Martin supporters, he said he could "absolutely" keep an open mind if he were to listen to testimony from Martin's parents.
The other black potential juror questioned Tuesday said she heard about the case from her pastor. When she told the defense she attended a Sanford church, she was asked to look around the room for her pastor. "Reverend Blue doesn't by any chance happen to be in the court room? Would you look?" she was asked."I don't see him," she said.Some questioned Tuesday were asked if they wanted to be on the jury just for the attention. "I'm not interested in any limelight," responded juror B51, an elderly woman. "Just doing what I have to do, then go home."For the first time since jury selection began, Zimmerman could be seen taking notes in court. He occasionally leaned over to whisper to his defense team.Zimmerman showed little emotion as potential jurors were faced with the reality that they could be picked for the jury that will decide whether Zimmerman acted in self-defense, as he claims, or whether he will go to jail for murder.Martin's family has been in court and following the jury selection closely. His family says they're confident a fair and impartial jury will be picked and that justice will be served."We told them to prepare for a slow process, that you want to make sure that it is fair to both sides," said Benjamin Crump, a Martin family attorney. "They are happy that they're at least finally picking the jury, because they've prayed for this day, they've wanted this day, to see the killer of their son have to come to court in front of a jury of his peers," Crump said.
Zimmerman, 29, is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder charges in
the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. If convicted, Zimmerman could
face life in prison.

NEW YORK — The blogosphere is buzzing with Frank Gehry''s derogatory remarks about green design. In a recent public interview, the starchitect summarily dismissed the movement that''s working to make the built environment more responsive to our deteriorated natural environment, according to Metropolis Magazine.
As we begin to understand the implications of climate change for life on Earth, serious discussion was needed to draw up the most forward-thinking and aesthetically pleasing design-based solutions to these new realities, the blog stated.
While architects held meetings about the legal implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), none of their anointed "leaders" came out to cheer them on, the blog noted.
Neither Gehry nor Meier identified the

I'd been encouraged to read David Sedaris for awhile now, and finally had the chance to read this book during one of my many plane flights lately (or as I like to call them: extended camping trips in various airports). His family could be anyone's family. And the list of what other cultures say for a rooster is hysterical. Plus Dutch Christmas traditions. I'm a fan of random knowledge.

Her inspiration stems from her multicultural origins and wide international experiences.
Celine began her career in communications and PR working at Edelman and A&R Partners.
Whether the event is a wedding, a celebration or a corporate function, we infuse style and exciting details that will make our client's vision come to life.
Our services are customized for every occasion. Beyond the orchestration of all the planning elements, we bring creative ideas and our expertise, to make each event an expression of our client's personality.
We tackle each event as a completely unique experience.
We listen closely to our clients, and offer flexible creative solutions to design their events.

When companies plan their social events, they think about many things. Who they're inviting, where they might have it, which day works best for everyone's schedule, and maybe how much they spent on it the previous year. What they don't often think about, is why they're having it.
The problem is that by not truly getting to the purpose of an event, companies miss out on great opportunities. Opportunities to make a marketing splash, to boost their image, opportunity to showcase their culture, their history, their personality. They also miss out on the much simpler and important aspect of an event: its success.
I was talking to someone earlier this week whose husband works for a very large and well-known tech company. He recently attended one of the company's largest international employee events, bringing together people from all over the world. This one specific event was supposed to be a crucial, once-a-year opportunity for all those employees to gather in one place and network together.
But the band was so loud, they couldn't hear each other.
Despite their $30,000 budget, their past experiences and all the man-power necessary to create this enormous event, it fundamentally failed its purpose.
To succeed, the purpose of a corporate event needs to remain at the center of the planning process. By using it to guide spatial layout, vendor choices, design, energy and its rhythm, event planners can really make their clients shine.
Food for thought!

It is with great excitement that we let go of our lovely 99 Red Balloons to become elegant Avenue Lesage!
Our new identity is the true essence of who we've been all along. Over the past three years we've worked with exciting clients, creating fantastic events with energy and style. It was time for our name to better reflect our approach, our philosophy and our true personality.
Where does the name come from? Avenue Lesage is the street where I grew up. It is where I learned to be independent, to observe the beauties of life and build my own person. The street is in a town called Maisons-Laffitte, just outside of Paris. It is lovely, and green, and extraordinary. It is a town well-known for its horse racing stables, where cars share the streets with proud racehorses carrying their jockeys to the training tracks.
I am excited to share this new Web site with you. It is a great way to showcase my past events via the Gallery, details about our services and even some information about me.
Avenue Lesage offers Strategic Consulting Services to non-profit organizations nationwide who need help defining their fundraising strategy, and creating fundraising events to support their strategic goals. We combine expertise in marketing, messaging and fundraising to guide clients who need to streamline their fundraising efforts.
With a strategic approach to fundraising, non-profit organizations can better identify their targets, use specific messaging to push their community into action, and get the right donors to support their cause. Strategy also turns unproductive events into powerful social tools to spread ideas, get funding and garner long-term support.
Avenue Lesage Strategic Consulting Services are only available on a retainer-basis. We provide our services over a one-month, two-month or three-month period, each renewable.

But, the most compelling argument of the night goes to:
" Dan does have a personality tho"
Cogent argument indeed. If Scott Peterson had you as his attorney instead of Mark Geragos, dude would have walked.excuse me for not having time to write an essay on why i like dan when you obviously can't even see my point of view~
I can't see Chuck as a Badass. He's been floored twice by Dan, overwhelmed by Nate. In fact the only character that Chuck has taken in a fight is Jack. Sad to see that the remaining, lesser Basses are both pussy boys when it comes to manly stuff.
I don't think his drinking and drug-taking automatically makes him badass either. He's no Keith Richards, or even a Pete Doherty. Any attempt at bad-assedness is offset by that fact that he acts out, because he didn't get enough hugs as a child. Poor Chuckie, that would make it hard for him to communicate his fweelings.
That he has a catchphrase doesn't make him badassed either. Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served had a catchphrase too, and I wouldn't exactly describe him as badassed.
But in the end I might see him as a cod-Freudian clichee, but if that's what floats your boat and gets you fantasising, fair enough.
I would have never thought taht Jack would be friends with Chuck... Jack was always the bad guy. Chuck said it himself : My uncle is my worst enemy... So no I didn't think Jack was going to come back and give Chuck advice about Blair...It's ridiculous to have him change side like that. Even at the end of the episode, I was still worried that Jack had an agenda...When it turned out he wasn't...I was chocked !

Qualifications & background
I joined the Department in October 2000. My undergraduate years were spent in Sheffield and I went on to train in clinical psychology at Oxford University, where I subsequently took my D.Phil. I then worked for several years in the pharmaceutical industry with Merck Sharp and Dohme, conducting research into Alzheimer's disease and the neuropharmacology of memory. Following this I developed a career in clinical neuropsychology, first at St.James's University Hospital, Leeds, then at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield and finally, briefly, with Bradford Hospitals NHS Trust. During this time I also held academic appointments at the universities of Birmingham and Sheffield.
Research interests
Neuropsychology: especially disorders of emotion, social cognition and self-awareness. In a nutshell, I am interested in how the brain constructs a self and how the self responds to the deconstruction of its brain. This has led to research across different neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental domains, including schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy and acquired brain disorder.

The pair, who met on the set of "Green Lantern," might be changing their ways. Blake and Ryan looked adorable on the 2014 Costume Institute Met Gala red carpet on Monday night.

Record: 37 – 35 – 10
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Trouba takes big leap from college to NHL
After a few days' deliberation, Jacob Trouba's heart told him it was time to try the NHL.
"It's definitely going to be a challenge," said the Winnipeg Jets' newly signed defenceman, the 19-year-old who was the ninth-overall pick at the entry draft last June. "I'm not going to get any better if I don't challenge myself. It's my goal to play in the NHL and I feel like I'm ready... for the change."
His one season at the University of Michigan yielded a selection to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's first all-star team and the league's offensive defenceman of the year award after 12 goals and 29 points in 37 games.
The Wolverines didn't have the greatest of regular seasons (10-15-3) but streaked in March and made it all the way to the CCHA's championship game, where their season ended with a 3-1 loss to Notre Dame.
In the middle of the season, Trouba was at the world junior championship in Russia, where he was named the tournament's top defenceman and his United States squad won gold.
"It didn't change too much what I was thinking," Trouba said of the tournament. "I knew... to me, we got pretty lucky that tournament. Everything kind of fell right for us.
"Playing against those guys that are the best under-20-year-olds in the world, seeing how you compare to them, then go back to playing college and playing against older guys, seeing how you compared to them... it's tough to worry about how the NHL's going to be but it's something you've got to try to do and try to adjust to it."
The adjustment will begin in Winnipeg sometime today, when Trouba arrives.
Trouba has agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract. It's a two-way deal, as all entry-level contracts must be, and it's been reported it's for the maximum salary of $925,000 each season, plus a $92,500 signing bonus for each season. The deal ends his college hockey eligibility.
The Rochester, Mich., native is likely to be on the ice here in the next day or two but Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said there have been no promises of playing time.
"We'll see how everything unfolds but there's no guarantee of games played but having said that we'll still have an opportunity to assess as we move forward," Cheveldayoff said.
The GM wants expectations to remain low, but realistic would be more accurate.
"There really is no expectation from within," Cheveldayoff said. "There are no expectations being put on Jacob. This is a pleasant opportunity, certainly something we are very pleased when Jacob had indicated there was thought of wanting to turn pro.
"We welcome it as an opportunity to get him acclimated to our organization on a more day-to-day, intimate basis.
"How it plays out from the playing standpoint, we've been very clear with everybody that this isn't something we're trying to create any expectations."
Trouba said he's simply going to be here to get started with the next phase of his career.
"I want to learn as much as I can being around the Jets and just trying to soak up as much information as I can about what it's about and what it takes to play there and what I need to do this summer to put myself in a position to be with the Jets next year," Trouba said Wednesday.
Will he play for the team this season?
"That's not up to me," he said. "That's up to the coaches. I'm just going to come in and work as hard as I can, just try to get better as a player and as a person, just learn and kind of take it all in. Whatever happens, happens.
"They're in the heat of a playoff race and I just want to come and try to help and do what I can. That's up to the coaches."
He was clear that despite the decision to leave school, he enjoyed his freshman season at Michigan.
"There's a lot. I mean, it's been a great year on and off the ice, just being a part of Michigan, being part of this university," he said. "It's pretty cool. It's a pretty special place. That's definitely something I'm going to miss but this is a goal of mine, to play in the NHL."
PROSPECT UPDATE: Cheveldayoff said Wednesday he hopes to soon have an agreement with 2011 third-round draft pick Adam Lowry, 20, to join the AHL's St. John's IceCaps for the rest of the season. Lowry had 45 goals and 102 points for Swift Current of the WHL this season but his junior days are now likely over. "We've had quite a bit of discussion with Adam Lowry's group," Cheveldayoff said. "We're trying to work out a deal. I think there is an opportunity for Adam to make his way to St. John's on an (AHL) contract and hopefully that's something that can happen here very shortly."
The best of the bunch
Jets' top prospects, after first-rounders Jacob Trouba and Mark Scheifele, both of whom are signed:
1. Patrice Cormier: 22, second-round pick of '08, much-injured banger has played just 40 NHL games including 10 this season with the Jets. Reassigned Wednesday to St. John's.
2. Ivan Telegin: 21, fourth-rounder of 2010, sparked much hope with a superb final junior season but the left-winger has been so-so (3 G, 7A, 34 games) in St. John's as a rookie.
3. Adam Lowry: 20, 6-5 forward played mostly centre for the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos this season. The 2011 third-rounder scored 45 goals and had 88 points.
4. Eddie Pasquale: 22, Pasquale was on recall to the Jets for a couple of weeks but didn't get any action. The goaltender was excellent last season in St. John's, less so this season.
5. Carl Klingberg: 22, Atlanta's second-rounder of 2009; left-winger is finishing his second full season in North America, has nine goals and 21 points this season.
6. Scott Kosmachuk: 19, the right-winger has had seasons of 30 and 35 goals for the Guelph Storm (Ontario Hockey League), is junior-eligible again in the fall.

Why does the American government meddle in everything?
Arrogance and ambition prevents healthy thinking... people have died because of the American government's ambition... however humanity is still silent.
Is there a solution for this?

Dec 6 2012: Successful countries spread their "memes". That has been almost a fact for thousands of years. The US "government" (I think) cannot be truly and fully separated from the US population. I believe we spread these ideas in hope to benefit ourselves and the world much like you or anyone spreads the ideas they feel are beneficial. "Meddling" is a negative word and I don't think anyone can automatically attribute a negative word to something without already beginning an in-depth discussion about that topic also. But to summarize...
I think we have spread our successful culture across the globe for the general benefit to the world... and each country will decide which parts of our culture they will adopt while trying to make their own original and (what they will feel) better spin on what they have taken from us. Everyone will benefit, we will gain friends (likely enough) and they will evolve their culture much like we have always been doing more or less.

A move by the US House of Representatives to eliminate financial support for Brand USA would be a "blow" to inbound tourism, says NTA president Lisa Simon.
Funding for the country's first tourism advertising and marketing campaign targeting overseas visitors was eliminated in a 2013 budget bill passed by the House at the end of March.
But NTA is urging US representatives to re-evaluate their decision, which if cleared by the Senate and signed into law, would bring an end to the $100 million in matching funds used by Brand USA to market United States destinations internationally.
"Losing Brand USA would be a blow to U.S. inbound marketing efforts that are important to creating jobs, boosting the national economy and helping all of our members who benefit from overseas visitors," Ms Simon said.
"This is a good time to re-emphasize the importance of tourism so the elimination of Brand USA will not be part of future versions of the budget."
Funding for the program is currently derived from fees paid by international visitors from visa-waiver countries when entering the US, an amount matched by the private sector.Created in 2010 as the Corporation for Travel Promotion, Brand USA is set to launch its first marketing campaign in May.
Brand USA should stay, says NTA

- Great food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Wonderful experience, good service and delicious food.I arrived way too early, and was seated right away. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun imes for FamilyBocadDoubleDined on 9/20/2014We visited Buca di Beppo again as a family night event. Food is great and the potions are large! We ordered way too much, but now have food for lunches most of the next week. Note, this is not a quiet, romantic place. It's loud, from the many pictures on the walls, to the tour through the kitchen, to the streams of people passing by our table. This is a noisy, fun place. Take a group, they can handle large parties. Last thought, make sure you make reservations. The wait without reservations on Saturday night was 2 hours! With our Open Table reservation, we got seated withing 5 minutes of our timeslot.Special Features:
- I Love Italian Food!PastagirlDined on 9/13/2014The food was amazing. I called in a reservation for 7:00 2 days before, and when Our group got there, we were not seated until 7:40 due to an earlier party mingling around our table. We received free appetizers due to this, however, in the future, I would not want this to happen again. I love Buca and will be going there a million more times! Great food and great service!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Recent ExperienceBusinessMeetingDined on 9/3/2014The mean and experience was enjoyable. Overall, it met the expectations of why we chose to dine here. Business meeting over lunch was comfortable, convenient.Special Features:
- Nice restaurantjenbDined on 9/1/2014Visited on Labor Day. Not very busy but we showed up on the early side. Cute little rooms carved out of this restaurant that gave it a more intimate home feel. Food portions were huge. Three of us ordered pasta type dishes. All were pretty good. One ordered eggplant parmesan. Pretty good. Had a coupon and it was honored without a hassle which was nice. Overall nice timeSpecial Features:
- outofstateoutofstateDined on 8/30/2014consistently excellent food and service, waitstaff very attentive, portions generous, decor outstandingSpecial Features:
- Buca is awesome!SummerBirthdayGroupDined on 8/30/2014We took a group of 13 which included 5 children to Buca to celebrate multiple birthday's in our group. Everyone had a great time. The menu is diverse enough that the children had no problem finding something tasty to eat and of course, we adults had delicious options galore. Love, love, love the mini meatballs appetizers. The peach Bellini is my fav. The birthday song the wait staff sung to us was fun and made the evening even more special. Thanks Buca di Beppo, we will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alittle disappointedonefortheroadDined on 8/29/2014The place was easy to find, lots of parking, and in a good part of town. We both had the Veal Parnassian, and found it plain, not much seasoning in the sauce, and had to order noodles on the side which we found odd. We've been to the restaurant in Indianapolis and it was much better. Sorry I won't go back when I return to Houston, there are too many other places I'll try/
- Birthday dinner blahDijjerDined on 8/26/2014I went to Buca Di Beppo for my 48th birthday with my family. The waiter forgot that it was my birthday. When we asked for desert he dropped it off and kept going, without napkins or forks. One of my family members had to remind him that it was my birthday. He said, "Oh, I'll bring the candles." He brought the candles and sang the birthday song with my family, only. Two other times later in the evening other tables had birthdays with multiple waiters making noise and singing loudly happy birthday. I felt like it was a mistake choosing Buca di Beppo for my birthday dinner!Special Features:
- awesome place to share a meal:)OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/25/2014Buca always a great place to share a great Italian meal with family and friends :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!mindyDined on 8/23/2014Andy was the best waiter, so helpful and friendly. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better Than Olive GardenbucasdatspotDined on 8/17/2014Authentic, family style Italian cuisine that has no match when it comes to uniqueness and individuality (no two Buca's are the same), rich cultural celebration (regardless of whether or not you are Italian yourself...me being Caribbean American), atmosphere (can be very homely and calm but also lively and celebratory at the same time!), GREAT service, and above all else...GRRRRREEEAT food with awesome serving sizes for the price. Hands down the best Italian chain-restaurant in the country.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- feedmeDined on 8/16/2014The service was great as well as the food. Enjoyed meeting some relatives for dinner. Relatives really enjoyed the restaurant as well as I did.Special Features:
- Seated late for reservationNicoleDined on 8/16/2014Had a reservation for 5:15. Was seated at 5:45. Why make reservations?Special Features:
- Great Foodjennyc2002Dined on 8/14/2014This is a great place to go if you are in a large group and want try eat in a family-style setting.Special Features:
- Awesome!JontyDined on 8/12/2014This is my second time dining here both after 6 pm. I must say I had great service and delicious food! Servers are very amiable and concern with your needs. We will be coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodGmendozaDined on 8/7/2014It's not my first time going to Buca but me and my boyfriend love it and the good is great. Except this last week that we went the ladies we were sitting next to were extremly loud .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below Average for big groupsEatingOutDined on 8/3/2014I put that I would recommend this location because I have always loved Buca di Beppo and this one is close to where I live. However, the service was below average. A friend went and asked for a dessert for himself then a dessert for the honored birthday guest. Fifteen minutes after our table was cleared, our waitress just brought out his dessert then awkwardly left the table. I'm not coming back here for a special occasion/large group solely because of the poor service. However, I am not sure if this was a one time thing or if we just came on a bad night. Normally a "bad night" is when the place is packed and everyone is busy, but this was not the case for us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great family placeLive2eatDined on 7/26/2014I love the family style dining of this restaurant. The portions are generous and the food is delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Buca di Beppo - always goodTexanneDined on 7/26/2014My daughter and I enjoyed our dinner at Buca di Beppo. It's a favorite. The "welcome" team - hostess or host, plus various waitstaff, greet diners warmly as they walk in the door - nice. The bread, served with balsamic vinegar in olive oil for dipping - always good. We often split a small entree (serves 2 - 3), but decided to try two dishes this time. We had Penne alla Caprese (good, basic) and Chicken Marsala (a splash of citrus flavor - unexpected, but good). Plus, we each had plenty for another meal at home. Buca di Beppo is fun in larger groups, too. Order several dishes and share, family style.Special Features:
- Yes, it has a cheesy smellTruleighblessedDined on 7/26/2014But the food's good and the place looks clean. Maybe it's the carpet?? We didn't smell it at first, but when we passed through the kitchen to get to our table, we made a right down the hallway and the smell smacked me in the nose. Then I was reminded that I'd read a review anout the cheesy smell. Anyway, my husband could not stop eating the eggplant. He loved it! The brushetta was delicious but the cheesecake was probably the worst I've ever eaten. I took another bite just to be sure, yep, I'm sure. The fettucine and spaghetti were good. All in all, food was good, portions were plenty and the wait staff was fantastic. They didn't come around and refill our waters though. I had to ask for that. One thumb up for Bucca!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food & fun dining experienceApierceDined on 7/25/2014We have eaten here about 6 times in the past 3 years. Food is always good and it is fun to dine family style. The portion are huge and there are several options from pasta, salads, breads, pizza, and desserts! It can be very noisy if your seated next to a large group though so try to avoid that if you want to enjoy your meal. Usually service is good but tonight our waitress was no very friendly. She did a good job getting refills & taking our order but didn't box up our leftovers which is hard to do if the table is full of dirty plates. We will go back and hopefully get a better server next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerGoodEatsUSADined on 7/16/2014I'm been going to Bucca since they opened and there hasn't been a visit that wasn't good. From the food to the service. . . a great time is inevitable. Unless you are a pessimist.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- awesome foodWissamDined on 7/15/2014family style kitchen makes it a group kinda deal. great food, great restaurant.Special Features:
- Turning tablesDinningloverDined on 7/11/2014This place doesn't care about customer satisfaction... It's purely a money maker. The food was great, but it was over 90 degrees where we were sitting. Two separate tables asked to be moved. The waitress never checked on us, only to take orders. If the food wasn't so great I would have given it one star. It was also our first time there.Special Features:
- A fun place!PamelaVIPDined on 7/8/2014A fun place to dine. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere is bright and fun. Always something to look at!Special Features:
- Overall good.DrpapakoppaDined on 7/6/2014Food came out hot. Ran out of tea and brought us water instead. One person ordered desert, but they were out. Refills of drinks was really bad, (none) I guess because they ran out. We ate our dinner on the small bread plates. Spoke with the manager, and he took the tea of the bill and gave free deserts to the table which more than made up for poor service and running out of tea. By the time everyone was done eating the meal, they brought out tea. Food was really good and portioned well. Maybe next time we will get a better wait staff. The manager made it work for us. I had recommended this place to some new friends we had met and needed this place to be good. I was worried for most of the meal but at the end everyone liked it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceKatyPRWomanDined on 7/5/2014Our group was running late; we called ahead and pushed our reservation up half an hour. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Service was great. Our waiter was a young man with a wonderful disposition. We had five kids in our party (a total of nine people), and he interacted with them so we'll. The kids loved the attention and the restaurant with all the funny pictures on the wall. The food was good; the chicken Marsala was fabulous; and we were in and out at a reasonable time! Before leaving, the assistant manager stopped by to say hello. Will definitely return with another group one day soon.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/5/2014The food is always great. Love trying new dishes too. I also love the idea that they send us coupons that we could use. Wait staff was friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old BuccaBuccaloverDined on 7/4/2014You cant go bad with Bucca.Delicious, good price, will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chicken CacciatoreGR2014Dined on 6/25/2014I've been a big fan of Buca's since I lived in St. Paul, Minnesota almost 20 years ago. We would look for reasons to get a group together and reserve the Pope's Table. Back then, they had a Chicken Cacciatore dish on the menu that was among my favorites. This week, I had an opportunity to take my staff to dinner and an Astro's game. I asked about the Chicken Cacciatore when making the reservations and they said they would make it special for our group. It was fantastic! I was worried about whether a Houston locations would be able to provide the same experience I remember from St. Paul. They hit a home run! Too bad the Astro's couldn't follow suit. They lost to the Braves 4-0... Thanks Buca's... we'll see you next time...grSpecial Features:

- BrendaDined on 6/14/2014This was my first time at Buca di Beppo and it didn't disappoint. We were there celebrating my daughter graduating from High School. Although I didn't get a chance to have the lasagne the food was still good. The spaghetti with the giant meatballs and the stuffed shells was excellent! Will definitely come back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent (as always)BonfireDined on 6/14/2014My friend and I came in for dinner before going downtown for a show. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in all of Houston and I will drive out of my way to come here. As always, the food and service was excellent. I have never ordered anything on the menu that I didn't like. Thanks again!Special Features:
- Not for me.SergioDined on 6/13/2014The staff is young and unprofessional. This place is great for children not if you want a nice dining experience.Special Features:
- Great place for GroupsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/7/2014This was our second visit with a group, 2 birthdays in this recent group. The smaller room groupings help the noise level and make it a more intimate setting. Servings are family style and are "large". They will usually serve more than are indicated and they are delicious. This last visit we had large Apple Gorgonzola Salad, large Lasagna, large Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, small Chicken Parmigiana and a small Fettuccine Supremo. We also had the Dolce Desert Platter that has Tiramisu, Cheesecake Double Dark Chocolate Cake and Italian Creme Cake. the meal was excellent and the service was very good. I advise reservations especially for groups, large and small.Special Features:
- The following 450 reviews are from the Buca di Beppo - Houston - Speedway reviews archive.
- Very poor service!JimmyDined on 6/1/2014Went to Buca for family birthday dinner. We experienced the absolute poorest service you could imagine. We went through 3 different wait staff, they just could not get it together. After complaining to the manager 2 different times we just gave up and really just wanted to get out of there. The manager just though a free desert would make everything better. He wasn't concerned about following up on getting service going any better. 30 minutes to get all the drinks. 45 minutes to get main course. The reservation time was 3pm. Occupancy was about 25% at best. Buca is not way it use to be. We won't be back.
- Good for a chain restaurantMexitalianDined on 5/31/2014Very busy staff so service was a bit slow getting to us when we first arrived but overall good service. Having a reservation is an excellent idea. As always food is good . Nice for special occasion. Excellent TiramasuSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome experienceliveforfoodDined on 5/27/2014Went there for the first time based on a "must go" from my boss. He was right! They took us on a tour of the kitchen and theirs even a table right in the kitchen available for reservations. The place is a maze, but awesome to look at. Their isn't an inch of empty wall space - so many pictures to look at. It looked like authentic Italian and the food tasted the same way. Blows the generic olive garden out of the water. I got the pizza - half pepperoni, half supreme. It was amazing. The waiters name was Alex and he was great. He was very informative and helpful in our deciding process and brought us samples of tea to try. He was friendly, funny, and sweet. The atmosphere is fun and great for large groups. Definitely a must goSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
