11 oz. coffee mug emblazoned with the glorious image featured inside the gatefold of the 1973 ZZ Top LP 'Tres Hombres'.
"The food came from ZZ Top’s favorite Houston area restaurant: Leo’s Mexican Restaurant. The Tex-Mex food was real food and the band has said they polished it all off as soon as they finished having the pictures taken. They made sure to include a bottle of Southern Select Beer, which was a Houston brewed beer, though it had not existed for about 15 years at that point, so the beer in the glass must’ve been some other brand. According to Billy Gibbons, the radio in the background is tuned to station XERF, a Mexican border radio station. The picture of the woman had some connection to Pancho Villa. They included it in there since Leo, the owner of the restaurant, had ridden with Villa or at least claimed to have."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I love that gatefold as much as anyone else here but my admiration never stemmed from how attractive that food looks.
In fact, quite the opposite!
