    Yes, the EAT sign is still on the building, which now houses Texas Jack's. The sign for Texas Jack's matches the EAT sign so I don't expect the EAT sign to be going anywhere.

    Take a look at the menu for Hojo Santa (not sure if it's one of the closed restaurants when you're there?). When I went, they had those molecular gastronomy "olives," and I thought some of their other dishes were molecular gastronomy influenced (though the dishes were not as "different" as Disfrutar's tasting was). I also enjoyed El Xampanyet -- I arrived soon after they opened on a Saturday and was glad to have arrived when I did because they got crowded quickly. I wish I were going back to Barcelona!
