As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog. Rehab Therapy Burger
Matt’s Big Breakfast – Phoenix, AZ
When I was planning our trip, I knew that one morning we’d be starting a day at Matt’s Big Breakfast. Why not start there, on the first morning? When we showed up at 8:05 on a Saturday, the place was already packed. We talked with the host and he said that the 15-20 people waiting […]
The Stand – Phoenix, AZ
Coming into Arizona from the east coast during the 8 months or so when they’re on Pacific time, always makes eating a challenge. By the time we landed, got a car and were on the road, it was both time for dinner (6:30 locally) and time for bed (9:30 at home). I made the executive […]
Off Site Kitchen – Dallas, TX
Finishing up our visit to the Texas State Fair, we were looking for something to eat on the way to the airport. I had a couple of places and mind and gave Jo a choice of burgers or barbecue. She chose burgers and I had found Off Site Kitchen in this fabulous book Where […]
Fred’s Texas Cafe – Fort Worth, TX (Photo Blog Post)
I’ve had Fred’s Texas Cafe on my list for a long time, with the sentence, in the description, that said “is the kind of place you take that new boyfriend or girlfriend to see if they can deal with it. If they can, they’re a keeper. It’s a complete dive, but the burgers are wonderful”. […]
Meat U Anywhere Barbecue – Grapevine, TX
Heading to the Texas state fair, we landed at DFW with a shopping destination on my beloved’s mind. I, on the other hand, was thinking of food. This should not be a shock to anyone that knows me. I opened the Texas Monthly Barbecue Finder (this is a great app – if you like barbecue […]
Pecan Lodge – Dallas, TX
One of the top “food” spots planned for our trip was to make it to Pecan Lodge, in Dallas. We have an office in downtown Dallas, and I had heard about the consistently excellent barbecue they were putting out from their prior location in the farmers’ market. But I never seemed to be in town, […]
Big Daddy’s Ribs & BBQ – Little Elm, TX
Heading down I-35 from southern Oklahoma, by the time we hit the Texas line I was hungry. With no real food plans until dinner in Dallas, I was confronted with the age old question – “what do you want to eat?” I’d like to take this chance to proclaim the love for my beloved (who […]
The Big Texan – Amarillo, TX
If you’ve driven through any parts of the American West, on or near I-40, you’ve likely seen the signs for the Big Texan Steak Ranch. And their 72 ounce steak challenge – eat the shrimp cocktail, baked potato, salad, with roll, butter, and of course the 72 oz. steak, in one hour, and it is […]
The Pantry – Santa Fe, NM
As we were leaving Albuquerque and heading towards Santa Fe on day two of the road trip, we knew we needed breakfast. We planned to grab something quick and get on our way and were looking for someplace to drive through, when the Pantry appeared on the right. Being a sucker for a cinderblock building, […]
