Amarillo /æməˈrɪlɵ/ is the fourteenth most populous city in the state of Texas, the largest in the Texas Panhandle and the seat of Potter County.^[3] A portion of the city extends into Randall County. The population was 190,695 at the 2010 census (105,486 in Potter County, and 85,209 in Randall). The Amarillo metropolitan area has an estimated population of 236,113 in four counties.

Amarillo, originally named Oneida, is situated in the Llano Estacado region.^[4] The availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle marketing center in the late 19th century.^[5] Amarillo is the regional economic center for the Texas Panhandle,^[6] and is economically important to Eastern New Mexico and the Oklahoma Panhandle.

The city was once the self-proclaimed "Helium Capital of the World" for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.^[7] The city is also known as "The Yellow Rose of Texas" (as the city takes its name from the Spanish word for yellow),^[8] and most recently "Rotor City, USA" for its V-22 Osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.^[9] Amarillo operates one of the largest meat packing areas in the United States. Pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer. The attractions Cadillac Ranch and Big Texan Steak Ranch are located adjacent to Interstate 40. U.S. Highway 66 also passed through the city.

Punch Bowl Opens Saturday: Preview Here

Punch Bowl Social will open its doors to the public tomorrow, Saturday November 17, after several days of practicing service on friends and family and through a big bash party that will take place tonight. Brainchild of owner Robert Thompson, this gigantic 24,000-square-foot space will include fun social activities like bowling alleys, ping-pong tables, video arcades and games, among others, but Thompson is adamant in the idea that this concept is really about food and beverages.

The space was co-designed by Thompson in collaboration with Studio Lemonade, a company that also designed Le Grand Bistro, ChoLon and Glaze, a new bakery set to open in December in Congress Park. Thompson calls the design theme dirty modern, a combination of contemporary and industrial materials, mountain lodge elements, Victorian accents.

Several large rooms divide the Punch Bowl Social space, a facility that can fit a staggering seven hundred people. There is an entry bar where a coffee counter will pour Novo coffee each day 6 a.m. and a deli counter will serve light breakfast to go or to be enjoyed in the lounge area at 7 a.m. A massive circular bar with the air of an industrial chick mountain lodge occupies the next room over, bordered by an old-elevator looking front desk, the gateway to the bowling alleys. There is a one hundred person lounge with two semi-private bowling lanes available for the public but also for private parties and functions. And then there is the mezzanine, a combination of bar seating and games of all kinds.

The food is crafted by chef Sergio Romero, who helms the kitchen at Le Grand Bistro as well, while the cocktail and beverage program is curated by rockstar bartender Anika Zappe. Punch Bowl Social has ten television sets fired on, six on the main floor and four additional ones on the mezzanine, enough screens ot to lose sports business without turning into a sports bar.

Punch Bowl will open at 6 a.m. seven days a week. The full menu will be served until midnight and a more limited menu will be until 1:30 a.m.

What a difference a week can make. We FINALLY got our permit 2012X01256 through development services. Waste Water was our last hurdle and attention to details greased the wheels of design. Thursday the Red Dragon arrived on site. All 2,200 pounds of it were moved on-site through the storefront. There was a crowd on hand to witness the coolness.

Quick article in 5280 on the concept and opening by Amanda M. Faison.

There are few things that make me happier than news of a pending bakery. This is especially true when it's a place like Glaze: The Baum Cake Shoppe, a high-end spot with a tight focus. In this case, the Congress Park shop will make and sell baumkuchen.
