TWO DAGOS BAILS
Latest Owners Lasted 8 Months
John and Julie Fawcett have closed down Two Dagos from Texas. They left no forwarding address and owed at least one local vendor money for past due bills. The latest incarnation of this First Avenue nightspot was no improvement over the old Dagos.  The Fawcetts replaced the horrific Italian/Mexican fusion menu (Pesto Chimichanga, etc) with straight-up expensive BBQ  bar food. And my Italian-American friends weren't too happy that they didn't bother to come up with a better name. Would you call a restaurant "Two Krauts from Florida," or "Two Polacks from Arizona?" Note to eventual new owners: invest in new branding.
