On our trip to Austin this past weekend we ate at several interesting places. They were very good. First stop was in Roanoke for breakfast at our favorite alternative to IHOP, it was Dove Creek. The biscuits are huge and delicious. Chad said the omelet was just the way he liked it, it didn't fall apart when he tried to eat it. The next place we ate was Franklin BBQ in Austin. When they say u better get there early you better get there early! When they are out of meat that's it they are closed "sold out". We got there at 12:30 and we had to wait in line for an hour & a half but it was WELL worth the wait!! (FYI about the wait, we waited outside for an hour then once inside it's about 30 more minutes.) The brisket was the best I have had here in Texas juicy and melt in you mouth. Don't ask for it chopped! The guy behind the counter gave me the strangest look when I asked and was like "chopped? why in the world would u want it chopped?" So I went with sliced. I guess he knew what he was talking about. It was wonderful! We ate at a lovely little joint on our way home and it really was my kind of place. A gas station converted into a bakery and you can't get anymore "trashy" than that LOL! I love it. It was the Czech Stop it's off exit 353 on I35. They had the best kolaches, jalapeno cheese biscuits & the Reuben sandwiches were YUMMO!!! Kolaches for those who don't know what they are, are basicly a homemade roll filled with sausage or fruit filling. The jalapeno cheese kolaches are spicy so you better get a drink preferably a Dr. Pepper :) Well those were our eats this weekend. We'll have 2 see where my mouth leads us next time, 'til then try new restaurants that u may not have noticed before, some hole in the wall that someone told about their killer food. Get out of the cookie cutter restaurants & try something different!

Meet Miss Fancy Pants the Trashy Food Snob

Well to get started I thought I'd tell u a little bit about myself. I love food! And you can tell by looking at me that I have not missed very many meals in my life:) I love food so much that I decided to go to culinary school in 2006 & I graduated in 2007 since then I have cooked a lot and eaten more. I love to try new and interesting restaurants, which is the purpose of the blog. I want 2 eat at these interesting and more importantly off the beaten path or not your run of the "meal" places and tell people you don't have to eat at Joe's Crab Shack to have good seafood or O'Charley's to have a good steak. Blah these places are not my idea of good eats. I will find you good seafood,steaks, chicken, sandwiches you name it I will find it and let you know about it. Stay tuned......
