April 2010 - Update on Bertha Madness
After weeks of qualifying the Bertha Madneess 2010 field was reduced to 2. Robby Alonzo from La Canada and Scott Corr-Robinett from South Pasadena. Both turned in sub 9 minute times to make it to the finals. Clearly, they were holding back! The final time was under 4 minutes with the victor being Robby. The prize was $100 and, in a surprise move, Bob Baffert, who was sitting at a adjacent table, added $200 to the pot! Robby and Scott were eating for tons of Gringo Glory and $300! A true gentleman, Bob then gave Scott $100 for a close second. Congratulations Scott and thank you Bob. LINK TO FOLLOW
March 2010 - Check out the New Windows at Los Gringos
OK – well these are not really “windows” but more like holes in the wall with some frames around them. With our expansion last year into the adjacent space, well, it just wasn’t quite right, the room was nice and all, but, well, not perfect. So, we got to use some power tools and cut open the walls – you should see it now, it is TOTALLY cool. One of the really cool features about the holes, um, windows is that we designed some removable barriers that can be removed (hence the name “removable” barriers) when a large party wants to sit together, but not too together. You can still see each other and it seems like you’re sitting together, but each half of the party is in different rooms.

December 2010 - Even the Rose Court Eats at Los Gringos Locos
Los Gringos Locos was pleased to host the 2010 Rose Court for a night out on the town. We’re pretty sure they all voted where to go and the voting was unanimous – we got to go to Los Gringos. In keeping with Rose Court protocol, none of them tried to eat the Big Bertha. For those interested, the guacamole was requested “medium.” This will be a future question on Jeopardy. As they left, they all waved.
