Grilled Ribeye and Kenny Chesney from HEB

Tasty ribeye steaks were back on the menu when I saw them on sale last week at HEB. $4.77/lb. I had them stashed in the freezer, but just hadn’t gotten around to cooking them until Memorial Day.
By the way, HEB is also sponsoring a Kenny Chesney concert.

Pappas Grill Steakhouse

This isn’t “Pappas Bros. Grill” that Texas Monthly named the #1 steakhouse in Texas, but Pappas Grill Steakhouse is owned by the same family, and it was fabulous! I’ve eaten at the more famous Pappas Bros. Grill, and it was great, but it was crowded, and a little pretentious. This version seems a bit […]

Please take a look, review comments, etc.
UPDATE: The domain issues have been resolved! […]

Rioja Tapas - Great Steak!

My girlfriend wanted to try something a little different than the standard steakhouse - so we headed over to the neighborhood tapas. Sweet little place with a nice patio - Rioja’s Tapas. Weather was great so we sat outside. Riojo is a word for spanish red wine - and their wine list featured plenty of […]

Dinosaur Valley err River State Park

Driving 4 hours to go camping is about my limit most weekends. But there was a special event friday, so we cancelled camping and got up at the butt-crack of dawn and drove straight to Glen Rose, TX, home of Dinosaur Valley State Park. I had proclaimed it the Dinosaur Park - and the munchkin […]

Blanco’s - Jake Hooker

Fire captain Jeffrey Ray gave me a call last night that they were headin’ up to Blanco’s Bar and Grill for some good ol’ Texas Country music. I hadn’t heard who was playing, but I hadn’t planned anything, so put the boots on and headed out.
$12 cover! Jeez. It better be Cory Morrow or Willie […]
