A taco walks into a bar.
The bartender says, “we don't serve tacos here!”
The taco replies, “that's okay, I just came in for a margarita."
A Taco Walks into a Bar
A Balanced Diet is a Taco in One Hand and a Margarita in the Other
SOUTHWEST YUM BY VIRGINIA STOCKWELL
Seven days without tacos makes one weak. Having grown up in southern California, tacos are a part of my life! If our family has a get together, I know there are going to be tacos and guacamole. This cookbook is my California-minded version of healthy southwest food. Because I’m cooking professionally 5+ days a week, I’m given the opportunity to test one recipe hundreds of times until perfection.
MARGARITAS BY ED STOCKWELL
When Virginia began down the road as a personal chef, there were two things I found to help in her pursuits. First was learn amazing knife skills to aid in party prep and garnishing. Being a woodworker by hobby, this fit with my personality. The second way to help add value and depth to the event space was to learn craft cocktails. This is where it all started. It's well established that tacos and margaritas go hand in hand and building a perfect margarita seemed like a good place to begin.
Is a friend’s birthday or wedding coming up? Send them a copy of A Taco Walks into a Bar. Maybe they’ll make something from the book and invite you over…or invite me over for dinner, either works.

believes the following:
- Vermouth has gotten a bad rap and martinis are best with gin – stirred, not shaken
- Distillers are artists and their craft should be sipped, savored and shared
- Draft cocktails are just awesome
