No need to go to the Texas State Fair anymore, I guess.

You have to open it in Youtube.  Pretty funny scene, actually.  I've been to diners like that in small town Texico.


It was a really good movie "Hell or High Water".  It had 4 Oscar nominations including best picture and best actor for Jeff Bridges.

I'd try that.

Here's what won the Texas State Fair's "Big Tex Choice" award for best new savory dish-- the deep fried seafood gumbo balls.  




Description: Using a family recipe that has been handed down four generations, the base is a dark, rich, and savory roux that represents the true essence of New Orleans. The balls are then loaded with Gulf Coast shrimp, stewed chicken, blue crab meat, and andouille sausage. The balls are then rolled in our saltine cracker and breadcrumb batter, then fried, creating an explosion of flavor. Served with a side of dark gumbo roux sauce, chicken fried okra spears, saltine crackers, and a small bottle of hot sauce.

Why not?  Lots of New Orleans/Cajun/Creole influence in Texas cooking, especially Houston and much of East Texas.

I mean, I'm sure you can find versions of all those things in New Orleans.

Got a couple of Tomahawk steaks vacationing in Cancun earlier this month. Mine weren't wrapped in gold foil, though. About as good as a steak gets when prepared by a competent chef. Met my expectations for a premium steak.

Wouldn't pay $600 for it. Of course, I wouldn't pay $200 for a bottle of Scotch Whiskey either, and I really like Scotch Whiskey. It's replaceable and repeatable.

Wine, on the other hand, that vintage and year will never happen again. I may not have a cultured enough palate to appreciate every nuance, but it's irrefutable that every bottle opened represents a moment that can never be recreated.

I was in NO for three days with my wife and a French lady painter who insisted on "showing us around".  She took us to two of the worst restaurants I've ever dined at in the price range, at least she paid.  Later my wife and I stumbled around and found a pretty good, not great place, on our own, for lunch.

Don't go out with folks who paint ladies.

I think the best steak I ever had out was a tomahawk ribeye at Eddie Merlot's in Cincy.

The steak at Bones and STK here were good, but not great, per the price.  I had a Delmonico at STK Saturday for $84, it was OK.  Really, I can do better or at least as well at home, it's not that hard.

Steak tip from CD - Have one with an austere white wine some time, like a good sauvignon blanc or albarino.

That's sad.  New Orleans is one of the best food cities on the planet.

You seem to pick some really bad guides.  If you can't find a good meal in Austin or New Orleans, then your guide is actively not trying.  I feel sad for you.
