Typically when I am in my studio in Deep Ellum overlooking Elm Street, the most action I see is the preliminary construction of the DART station across the street. Today, however, Prison Break was on location taping.

If you want to be part of the PB action, be sure to visit Reno’s Chop Shop as the owner, Alan, is in the know on getting people spots as extras.

Below is a scene from my window showing the massive crew working on PB.

In other Deep Ellum news, today we stopped by for lunch at the Fantasy Cafe on Main Street (just east of Good-Latimer). We were intrigued by this combination convenience store/cafe and decided to give it a try.

Chef Joey prepares Southern Style Soul Food with a twist.

Today, almost all of us chose the Black Angus Burger that was grilled to order and heaped with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, pickles and mayo. A heaping serving of curly fries was included with each sandwich.

We were all pleased with the sandwich and gave it high marks — we will be back.

Fantasy Cafe is an interesting concept and is open for deliveries of beer, cigarettes, ice cream, chips, etc. from 9am - 1am. The Kitchen is open from 7am - 3am Mon-Sat.

Visit their website and take advantage of specials including the current Buy 1 entree and receive the second for half-price.
