On the Chipotle vs. Freebirds debate: (can't weigh in on Mission because there's not one where I live) I prefer Chipotle, but the important thing is that they're both good. Freebirds gives you more choices. Chipotle is cheaper, more convenient to where I live and work, and the menu is limited but I really like the quality of the ingredients. The salsas are great, and the best part is the spicy grilled chicken, which I am desperately hooked on. I mean, once a week (and that's if I'm showing restraint). Am going to miss it soon when I move out to the middle of nowhere...
Fried spam with white rice and scrambled eggs w/ ketchup........ wait, that's breakfast! For lunch, it'll be: vienna sausage with rice and scrambled eggs w/ ketchup.........
They're really tasty beans. A little history: The Ranch Style brand has its roots deep in the heart of Texas. Great Western Foods, the company that created the brand and the Ranch Style Brand Beans product, traces its origins to a commissary established in Denison, Texas in 1872, but it wasn't until 1934 that Ranch Style Brand Beans were introduced to consumers. The product proved to be an immediate success. Lloyd W. McKee, one of the past presidents, is the man credited with the creation of the authentic, western-style recipe which captures the flavors of the Old West. It took three years of intensive research to develop the well-known Ranch Style Beans. Ranch Style Beans have a delicious, authentic western flavor, and their versatility has endeared them to generations of bean lovers, including the rich and famous. Elizabeth Taylor, Humphrey Bogart, and Grace Kelly have ordered them. According to local lore, Ranch Style Beans were served at President Johnson's ranch on many occasions. http://www.foodlocker.com/ranstylbean.html
I think I am going to Delaware Subs on 5th and Lavaca for a turkey sub. I need to start eating healthier!!! RM95- Stros' not on tonite?
Drew...it's an afternoon game. You should skip out on work tomorrow afternoon for the Cubbies. We were also thinking about the Express tonight if you're interested. Dayum, why do you have to eat at places I love, but shouldn't eat at.
god bless the HEB! I have to go to the one off Red River and I-35. I dont think that I have EVER been there when it wasnt crowded. It doesnt matter what time of day it is. They need to build more damn grocery stores in Austin!! This is one aspect I miss about Houston...... grocery stores on every corner!!
After reading the 'Best Pizzaria' thread I'm going to eat some pizza. For those of you who live in Austin, do they still have Thundercloud Subs there?
