Ok, Ok I must apologize to my loyal fan; Courtney, she and Shelly were very excited when I told them about my Blog. Shelly even became my 1st and only Follower, ( hint hint ...I need more followers) Well over a month ago, Courtney went with me to try a new restaurant and was looking forward to me blogging about it. Unfortunately with Focus on Females the 1st three months of every year is very hectic and I have little time to do more then work and home stuff. So it was only today after trying another new restaurant with Courtney that I decided I needed to blog about it because I have tried 4 new restaurants and have not blogged about them, part of that is because I did not want this blog to be all about food but sadly it appears it may end up being all about food.................
# 6 - Frankies - this is like a yuppie Coney Island that specializes in hot dogs, onion rings, burgers and such. Just a hop skip and jump from work on the way downtown on Kennedy. I was looking forward to trying the deep fried veggie basket..I love fried Zucchini....however they were out of Zucchini and could substitute it with other veggies however if I am going to splurge on deep fried veggies ....zucchini has to be included. I settled for a kids meal coney dog meal and chose sweet potato fries as my side. The chili was very unique, you could really taste the allspice and there were no beans. The sweet potato french fries were very bland and lacked flavor. They specialized in foot long dogs but opting for the kids meal gave me a smaller then normal dog. Just enough to fill me up. Courtney chose the cheese curds which were orange cheddar cheese and quite tasty. They have some really good deals and I would go again to try something different although I wouldn't do anymore hot dogs. I just not that into hot dogs and one or two a year is more then enough for me.
#7 - Cheddars - A few weeks ago, Scott and I had a chance to go to dinner and the timing was right that we had just enough time to go to Cheddars (normally Scott would say he didn't want to drive that far out of his way, but we had to pick up Becca at 9 and it was after 7 and Cheddars was in the direction of picking up Becca so the timing was right.) Great food, reasonably priced but loud atmosphere and the wait for the food was a little long.
#8 - BJ's - Becca being the working woman now took me out to lunch for my Birthday she said I could pick anywhere I wanted to go. She said Laura could go but she would have to pay for herself. Well I looked around for places offering a Birthday special and at BJ's you get a free PZOOKIE on your Bday and I have been wanting to try BJ's for a few months now. Well we got homemade garlic Parmesan potato chips to share, then I got an appetizer chicken quesadilla, Becca got chicken strips and fries, Laura got a turkey California club and we spilt the Pzookie, the girls drank soda while I opted for water. The food was awesome, I want to go back and try their pizzas, the total was only $28 so Becca was generous and paid for Laura and Laura was only responsible for the tip. Thank you Becca and Laura ! I had a really great Birthday this year. We went to lunch before 12 because I wanted to eat early to be prepared for Texas Cattle Company.
Scott laughed at me because he wanted to take me somewhere different but I had been jonesing for my Cowgirl. Then I only ate 2 bites of salad to save room for my steak and still only ate about a 1/4 of my steak. But I enjoyed that steak and made some kick ass quesadilla with the leftover steak a couple days later.
# 9 - Chihuahuas- Ok, took Courtney out for lunch per the Doctors orders. This was a little hole in the wall I pass on my way to work but have never talked to anyone who at there. Sorry Shelly, Courtney made it in my blog twice already but our time tables never mesh. Well when we walked in it was completely full, a good sign, police and military just a mile or so off the base and it was very clean. They had good sweet tea and the food was good but I think they have forgottten our order because it took forever for the food. At least 15 minutes after we had order a table of 3 sat down and they were eating 5 minutes before we got our food. I will go back and try different thing, I did not try their guacamole, big surprise, had a lunch combo that had an enchilada, a sope and the usual beans and rice. Only at 1/2 of the enchilada, sope and beans, didn't try the rice and only had a few chips and salsa waiting for the food. Salsa was pretty good, almost like Carmelita's.
