This week Chop House Burger opened in the old private dining room of the Dallas Fish Market downtown off Main Street which is part of the DRG Concept portfolio. Being a a big burger aficionado and having what could be a great burger joint on the other side of the city block from me left me eagerly awaiting the opening. This is not to be confused with...

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to add a new review or head somewhere new so I do apologize for the absence, but this weekend we headed to Austin. Mainly to knock off a few burgers from the Texas Monthly Top 50 list I’ve been working towards completing, but also because I’ve never actually spent a night in Austin.   Waking...

I was riding through East Texas this weekend and found myself in the Athens area around lunch time. Some of you may know the history of Athen’s as it relates to Uncle Fletcher Davis and whose desecendents run the Ole West Bean and Burger Co 2 and of course my love for a good burger. Well of course I’ve already been here as well Louis...

Many of you may know that I’ve been trying to complete most of the Texas Monthly 2009 List for the best burger in Texas. While I’ve had their #1, and about half of the others they have listed the one that sits in my heart was the #3 burger from the Alamo Springs Cafe, in none other than Alamo Springs TX just outside Fredericksburg. View...

Mmmm Wingfield’s. This is a fun place to visit. The horribly tiny counter and order area that holds 4-5 people at most, to the double and triple parking in the lot outside. Everyone here knows the drill. If your order number isn’t within the next 1-2 coming up, get out and let others order. If your double parked, make sure you are watching...

Since it’s become apparent that Chris and I are having a battle of the food picks, I had to go out on a limb and try something different. Good Times Southern & Cajun Cafe is located in the outskirts, hardly noticeable unless you’re driving slow, and have a keen eye for the local dish. But, apart from the fact that Yelp only had two...

Let me please preface this review by stating the reason for this review was not so much for the food, but the location, timing, and experience above all else. This last weekend I took a trip out west on the bike on my 1st multi-day excursion into the expanse which is West Texas. I had planned to revisit Mary’s cafe to give them a second chance...

Aaron – I don’t know what I expected when we drove up to the front of Smoke. It’s exterior kind of looks like a mix between a 50′s diner, and a pueblo. The one thing that stood out was the scent of BBQ smoke percolating in the air. Walking in you see homemade pickles, the bar, and the layout of the restaurant. Very inviting,...

I’m a native Pennsylvanian (Don’t hold that against me, I got here as quick as I could) and I love Tasty Cakes. Anyone from the East probably has no idea about the tortures we who’ve migrated to greener pastures (Or browner in TX’s case) go through when we’re separated from regular exposure to our staple foods. Unlike separation anxiety...

It seems as American as apple pie, as staple as mashed potatoes and gravy. But if you assumed all chicken fingers were created equal, you were wrong. Snookies offers a lot of really tasty food, including their Wegu burgers and Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich. But what I go to them for every week isn’t their awesome fries or great wait staff, it’s...
