What About Bob

Jamba Juice

Can't take these people anywhere! 

Dinner at the Salt Lick

Wow!

Texas Crawfish?

RockFish in Highland Village was the place for a night out with friends from church.  Although we have a plethora of restaurants, we always struggle to make a decision.  I need to use the Lunch-O-Meter.

Anyway, we got to RockFish and discovered they had Crawfish from Louisiana!  Wow, I thought.  Let's get some crawfish for our Texan friends.  We ordered a handful for 6 bucks and found them to be very bland.  In fact, I think they were steamed, not boiled.  Just goes to show you that you can take the crawfish out of Louisiana but you can't get Louisiana-made crawfish in the Lone Star State.

Superbowl

Go Giants!  I like the underdogs.  Rooting for the Giants in Nashville.

Maggiano's Little Italy

VCC Staff was treated to a Christmas luncheon at Maggiano's in Plano.  I must say the food, atmosphere and service was outstanding...not to mention the company.

Johnny's Pizza

Ok, it's Thanksgiving week and I would think a little splurging is allowed.  When you have lived in North Louisiana, you become familiar with Johnny's Pizza.  It ranks pretty high on my best pizza list...right under Giordano's Pizza in Chicago.  You gotta try a piece when you come home. 

If you've lived here, you know what I'm talking about.  Let me just say this... "Sweep the Kitchen." 

Scotty Got Thai

A landmark day!  My friend Scotty took a walk on the wild side and ate  Thai food for the very first time.  Thai Ruby in Flower Mound was very  good.  I had the Chicken Curry and Scotty had the Sweet and Sour  Chicken.  I'm proud of my friend for walking way outside his comfort  zone.

I think we all should get out of our box on a weekly basis.  What we  eat, how we drive to work, stopping to be in awe of God's creation.   Look up and enjoy the sky.  Just a few ideas to be in touch with our Creator.

Zea Woodfire Grill

Second visit to this Plano restaurant.  You can't beat the salmon. One of their specialties...Cheese Grits.  Awesome side to a great meal.  Also try their spinach salad.  Good food.

Sushi Oysters and Hog-Head Cheese

Dinner at Edohanna Hibachi & Sushi in Flower Mound was excellent.  Brandi and I shared a shrimp sushi roll tempura-style (cooked).  Brandi actually encouraged me to try sushi during our seminary days.  I didn't think I would enjoy eating raw fish but I love raw oysters so it wasn't a big jump.

I come from a people who would rather catch a bass with what they put in sushi than eat it.  But here's the thing:  once you dress it up with all the condiments, it actually taste pretty good.  The same can be said for raw oysters and hog-head cheese.  Slap some Tabasco or Wasabi on it and...mmmm tasty.

Eli ate Teriyaki Chicken but enjoyed the chop sticks the most.

Brother Juniper's

One of the best breakfast spots in Memphis is Brother Juniper's located near Memphis University.  The restaurant was founded by a Russian family and is now run by an Eastern Orthodox Priest.  Russian icons can be found on the walls of this small but busy local hang-out. 

On today's visit, I broke down and ordered the Rachael Ray San Diegan Omelette.  It was awesome.

Rachael Ray has made this place famous with her $40 a Day Memphis episode.  She ate at Brother Juniper's and had the San Diegan Omelette.  You can make one of these yourself with the recipe.

Or you can get the real thing if your in Memphis.  It's a cool place with a great vibe and excellent food.
