Here in Oklahoma, I haven’t been able to go to Vega, Texas, and check out Rory Schepisi’s recently opened Boot Hill Saloon & Grill on Route 66.
However, the Amarillo Globe-News visited, and published a story about it Tuesday (free registration required).
Some tidbits from the well-rounded article:
- Schepisi is considering opening another restaurant, in Amarillo, if things go well with Boot Hill. It would be a New York-style bistro.
- Despite her recent loss on “The Next Food Network Star,” she’s under contract with the network for two years. She’s interested in showing viewers the different cuisines of Texas.
- She’s learned to work cattle with her cowboy boyfriend, Klay.
- But she doesn’t ride horses much anymore. She broke three ribs when she was bucked off about eight months ago.
