Aw, look, it's the Squeaky Beaker! The fittingly monikered cafe will open in December, says BRT, from the same people who own the cozy 2nd Street Cafe.

It's almost Thanksgiving, and thus everyone's favorite Twitter mashup of 2010 is at it again. Ruth Bourdain unleashed a flurry of Turkey Day-related tweets today, and we'd have to concur with Anthony Bourdain who said six months ago that RuBo had "lost gas." Jokes like "Moistness should be your goal when cooking the turkey, but if it's too moist, consider calling a gynecologist," and "If you are buying a local, organic, heritage turkey, make sure it has a beard, tattoos, and is wearing skinny jeans," never would have made it out of the Onion writers' room, that's for sure. RuBo then finished up her morning's work with a brief moment of shilling her new book, Comfort Me With Offal. Because, you know, with humor like this we could sure use more! Thankfully the burning question of "who is Ruth Bourdain?" isn't burning so bad anymore, and it would seem most of us have given up caring. (Last we heard it was two people, but they've remained mum.) [RuthBourdain/Twitter]

A rep for both spots says that their kitchens will remain open until 1:30, and you can park your drunk self either in the restaurants or on their patio, which previously closed at 11 p.m., until 2 a.m. We'd heard rumblings about the extension for Deep Ellum, but apparently it's in full effect for Lone Star, too. Late-night tacos for all!

Critic MC Slim JB floats a rumor on Chowhound that the Aquitaine Group's reliable neighborhood standby Union Bar & Grille might get a new name and a makeover. Right now they're busy opening the South End's Cinquecento, which is supposed to open right after Thanksgiving. [CH]
