Best When-Your-Kitchen-Turns-Panic Room Solution

Francisco's

"It was supposed to be the safest room in the house ... " or at least it was supposed to have something to eat in it. You've suddenly realized it's 9:30 p.m., and worse--you're starving. In your kitchen: a sack of whole-wheat flour, an overripe banana and a carton of rice noodles. Your knees get weak, your head hot, and the thought of eating fast food is too much to bear. Does any other situation so clearly illustrate that you're incapable of managing your own life in a healthy, mature fashion? Save yourself from despair-call in an order to Francisco's. Open until 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and until midnight Fridays and Saturdays, Francisco's serves up outstanding, inexpensive Michoacan-style Mexican food that makes life OK again.
