My roommate arrived on Monday night (finally! YAY!) and her parents stayed in town to help her get settled. Well, they're from Georgia, and everyone knows when you're in Texas you have to try Tex-Mex food and authentic BBQ, right? So, the other night we went to a great Mexican restaurant (yes, they were nice enough to ask me to go!) called Chuy's (Chewie's). Huge, colorful restaurant that you can tell has been there for years and years. No parking. Great food. Great company. Lucky me!
Then, tonight, they invited me to dinner again (because they're wonderful like that) and we planned to go get BBQ. So, we left the apartment around 6:45, relying on Dora-the-Explorer (my GPS) we punched in the address, followed the directions and ended up at Sonny's BBQ... The original building that I guess launched several others. Only, what we saw was a parking lot, with a "vintage" (aka dive) shack building that had signs in the window that NO KIDDING read: Closed. Gave the operating hours and then the sign said: We Close When the Food Runs Out!
I guess we should have gone for lunch!
So, we ask Dora-the-Explorer to find us another BBQ place. She gives us a big list. But, we tried another Sonny's. Got there... and oops! It's just like a catering center... no restaurant. So, we ask Dora again... she gives us a big list... and we tried the final Sonny's BBQ option. It was only a couple of miles away and we'd come this far...
Third time's a charm!
What a treat! Walked in, were served like cafeteria style had great food and it was totally worth it and so fun!
So, yay for great Mexican food and BBQ... gotta love Texas!
