Hello AJ readers!
The holidays are upon us, which means Christmas stories will be leading the business section for a while. This week, we share where you can get low-effort holiday meals, pet safety tips for the holidays, and where you can get your pet the perfect holiday treat.
Business openings this week include a second location for Vitality Bowls, a first location for Marco’s Pizza and the opening of La Placita. Dillards also announced a plan to replace its two stores at South Plains Mall with a larger store at the former Sears location, also in the mall. The American Bank of Commerce will celebrate its 60th anniversary later this month. Twin Oaks Pharmacy also closed for business on Tuesday, November 8.

This week’s best bite belongs to the Bar Room – Lubbock, for excellent Chocolate Strawberry French Toast. This place has been on my list of places to try for several weeks, so when I saw their brunch menu, I had to give it a try. I’m officially calling it the best french toast in town I’ve had so far. Even the bacon was perfect, exactly the way my grandmother makes it. Their brunch menu changes weekly, but if this is your consistent level of deliciousness, I’m sure every item is a hit. I hope to try again soon!
Since this column is published on Sundays, I’ll also take this opportunity to wish everyone celebrating this week a happy holiday. As always, thanks for reading and supporting AJ.
