Recreating the Tres Hombres spread
posted 10 hours ago #
Are you familiar with the ZZ Top album Tres Hombres? The one with "La Grange"? Are you familiar with the inside gatefold imagery of the album being a giant spread of Tex Mex?
Well, Austin chef Tom Micklethwait decided to recreate the entire spread and give himself a tasty treat. It's all documented in this short film ZZ Tom and it goes exactly as you'd hope. He recreates it damn nearly perfectly and we can only assume it's delicious.
And if you're curious what ZZ Top themselves would think of such a delightful Internet undertaking - read this Texas Monthly interview with Billy Gibbons. Includes a great anecdote involving a German Shepherd. Via Jamie.
This whole undertaking is from 2016 but it's new to me and, I hope, new to you. Here's that spread, stare into it at your convenience.
