Keeping it Spicy for 50 Years

Thousands of visitors flocked to the 50th annual Flatonia Czhilispiel this past weekend. Organizers reported 267 teams competed in the famous “Czhili” cook-off, which started with six teams in 1973 as a fundraiser to help bring a resident doctor to the town.

What I Didn’t Buy at Warrenton

Fayette County’s fall 2022 antique/collectible extravaganza has ended and most vendors have packed up and left Fayette County. As always, the array of merchandise was dazzling, so I was sorely tempted, but rather than hauling home the following items that caught my eye, I settled for taking their photos.

For the Record

Blazing the Fayette Co. Breakfast Taco Trail: First Stop – Taqueria Sergio’s

The hard-working people of Fayette County wake up early in the morning, but before they haul that first load of gravel, or hammer the first nail, or pour that big slab of concrete, they need some fuel. For this, they turn to the humble but mighty breakfast taco. The Record’s Jeff Wick and Andy Behlen are traveling to the taquerias of Fayette County to review their offerings. Last Friday, we visited Taqueria Sergio’s in La Grange. As you walk inside this little red building west of the old River Bridge in La Grange, you’ll notice the place is pretty laid back. You can order at the counter, or you can sit at a table and someone will take your order. If the place is busy, you’ll probably end up sharing a table with others. There’s a menu, but if you look around, you might see some regulars eating dishes that don’t appear on the menu.

Powerhouse Lilli Lewis Headed To La Grange

The Linda Smalley Concert Series is bringing a performer with larger-than-life talent to town that you don’t want to miss. Problem is, you may not yet know her name. Bigger problem, you might not know her genre. So, you ask, why take a chance and go see her if you don’t know who she is or even what kind of music she’ll be doing? Why take the risk?
Lilli Lewis will be at the Bugle Boy Saturday Nov. 5 and First Presbyterian Church in La Grange Nov. 6.
