It's Tuesday December the 6 around 8:19PM and

It's time for the A-Team

The reason you go out to lunch during work hours is to forget about when a client asks you for a three foot logo, then complains that it isn't tall enough and asks if you can just stretch it to be three feet wide and one foot tall. Blank stares. Yeah, and we can manipulate the laws of science too. But that's why you need to go to lunch. And yeah, that is the A-Team Smart Car. Yes, we so went there.

Today, we went to Brioche, the urban baking and catering at 401 West Cordova. It's a great, simple, joint that has two very cool, but different casual rooms. It's casual at it's best and should make a place like The Bread Garden blush with shame. The cajun chicken spinach salad was unbelievable and throw it with some chick pea and proscutto soup and you could deal with the logo monsters. You don't want to leave - and you want some of thier "bloody good" coffee.

And just down the street is the uber trendy A Life Inc. Which does to the Adidas store what Brioche does to the Bread Garden. It's all about the out-smuging. The $300 jeans are pretty much the first indicator of a great potential of trendy smugness.

UPDATE: Sure would have helped if we spelled the company name right. A Life, not A Line. Stupid. The website is almost as smug as the store, but how can you not love a website that both does nothing and features a photo of Bill Murray from Coffee and Cigarettes. Our friend John calls the site "highly advanced" and love the RZA and GZA. The fact that they don't need a website raises the bar on smug. Love it.
