My friend Sabrina told me recently about "small business Saturday", the Saturday after Thanksgiving when you can get a $25 credit using an enrolled American Express card at certain local businesses.

So when my family arrived at 6, we only had to wait an additional 15 minutes before we got seated, an improvement from 1.5 hours. The Taste of Texas certainly did not disappoint; see you again next year!
