"1 could brag about our food,"
said Mike McDaniel with a grin,
"but the food of a good business
should speak for itself."
McDaniel is not a typical
restaurant manager. But then, his
recently-opened Hotnie's Cafe is
not your typical restaurant, either.
For one, it's located on
Rosedale Street across from the
Wesleyan campus. Not to mention
that it transforms
from its quiet,
laid-back atmos-
phere to a bingo
setting on Fridays,
Saturdays and
Sundays at 6 p.m..
"We operate
an old-fashioned
cafe until Friday
evening," said
McDaniel.
H o m i e ' s
offers home-style
food. "We spe-
cialize in bar-
beque and home-
style Mexican,"
said McDaniel. He Homie's
said Howie's also
offers a full breakfast and "great,
home-style hamburgers," to name
a few.
"Everything's done from
scratch," said McDaniel. "In
other words, we don't buy pre-
rnade hamburger patties. All our
soups and desserts are home-

Hotnie's is located in the same
building that Stand's Barbeque
ami Mingo used to be. ''Stand's
didn't work out," said McDaniel.
McDaniel and his two part-
ners bought the building from
Stand's and,opened Homie's in
November.

McDaniel graduated from the
University of Texas at Austin and
said he understands the economic
situation of college students. "1
wrote most of the prices on our
menu looking toward the universi-
ty business," he said.
This accounts for the reason-
ably-priced menu. Prices range
from a daily $.99 student special
on sandwiches to a $6.95 ribs plat-
ter. "We'd very much like to cater
to the university and are open to
suggestions. We'd be happy to
open up a room for groups or pri-
vate parties."
The bingo nights are spon-
sored by local, non-profit organi-
zations to raise money for their
programs. "They're community
self-help
groups looking
to better the
community.
We provide
concessions,"
said McDaniel.
"It's a way to
turn this area,
around, and
we'd like to be
a part of it."
According
to McDaniel,
the turn-out for
bingo has been
good.
However, many
people still don't
know about
Homie's.
Homie's is open on Monday-
Thursday from 7a.m.-3p.m and
Fridays and Saturdays until 6 p.m.
It is located on 3020 E. Rosedale
Street.
