News Notes

Open

Meat San Antonio’s newest restaurant. Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão has opened a new location in the North Side, its second spot in the city. The restaurant is known for its all-you-can-eat offerings + open grill where you can watch food be prepared.(San Antonio Current)

Tech

Artificial intelligence is hitting the road. California ride-share company Waymo will be testing self-driving cars in San Antonio this summer, mostly in the Loop 410 area — but AI won’t be chauffeuring you yet. During this trial phase, the vehicles will be accompanied by trained humans. (KENS5)

Arts

The “Aloha Vaqueros” exhibition will be on display from Friday, June 13 through Monday, Sept. 1, giving a glimpse into Mexican vaqueros and their connections to Hawaii’s paniolo cowboys.

History

The US Treasury Department has placed its last order for penny blanks and announced plans to stop making the one-cent coin. Production is expected to end in early 2026 for the coin first minted in 1793, which is old, but not quite as old as San Antonio. (Newsweek)

Confession time: I’ve never been to a Waffle House. I suppose this shouldn’t be a huge surprise, because the nearest location is 60 miles away in Kyle. Plus, why would I want to travel when there are so many great brunch options in San Antonio?
