<p>Spotted today in Montrose - the fact that Ruggles, oh wait, sorry, <strong>"Ruggles"</strong> has once again lent its name to yet another establishment, this time the old <strong>Cafe Moustache</strong>. And the answer is "yes" to the question, "wait, you mean <a href="http://houston.eater.com/archives/2011/12/05/controversy-abounds-at-ruggles-grill.php">*that* Ruggles</a>?" </p>

<p>We're not exactly sure what a local pizza is, but apparently, it's now available at the bistro for dinner.</p>
