This is a pretty cool idea from Cowtown Eats, which is asking each of the candidates for City Council District 4 about their views on restaurants and happy hours. The blog notes that the newly redrawn district covers the Grid and Land Park, home to many of our high-profile restaurants and bars.
Here's what Cowtown Eats is getting at:
"My hope is that by their answers, we get a little glimpse into the actual person. If one person's favorite restaurant is Biba and another's is Squeeze Inn, it probably means a little about them. I'm not saying you should vote solely based on the information in these interviews, but this should be a little piece of information used in deciding your vote.

"Of the seven candidates, Neil Davidson has already taped an interview and one is scheduled with Phyllis Newton. I'll be posting these interviews in the order they were taped, starting tomorrow. I haven't heard back from the other five candidates. If you know Terry Schanz, Steve Hansen, Joseph Yee, David A. Turturici or Michael Daniel Rehm, please encourage them to participate. I can be reached at Darrel@CowtownEats.com to schedule the video interviews."
Now I'm curious. I live in District 4, and while I have a host of concerns and interests, I'd certainly like to take a look at these videos. Check out Cowtown Eats here and return to the site to keep up with what the candidates are saying about our restaurants and bars.
