Foodbme, I think (mistakenly or maybe not) you clicked the block user under my name because I can't PM you.

Las Cruces, NM may be our half way layover spot.  I haven't looked in to any places yet.

Looks like I'll be trying to stop in Brisbee.  Thanks for the tip!

Cool!  Thanks!!!

Now to get my no shopping, no walking, no ethnic food, blah, blah friend to agree!

How far off of The 10 is it?

We're taking the Corgi's with us so traveling will be interesting.

I'm finding it interesting that restaurants across the country are pairing waffles and chicken.  We have Roscoe's and Pann's here in Los Angeles that serve it.

I've always wondered how that pairing came about.

I'm loving your choice(s) of places to eat.  What a Yummazing trip!

Thanks!

Chicken & Waffles have been around for awhile:

A commonly quoted story is that the Wells Supper Club started selling the chicken and waffles dish to late-night patrons of their club in 1938 "as it was too late for dinner, and too early for breakfast"; so Wells Supper Club served both dishes on the one plate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_waffles


It's an exeperience, you ought to try it. I would say give Roscoe's a try.

What is this "Blocked List" and how does one see it? I don't believe I'm on any said list....I didn't get any warnings or messages....and I don't think I did anything wrong....did I? It seems I can still post.

There's a click button buried in the bowels of "The User Control Panel" that allows you to block messages from individuals. Apparently, I must have hit the button when I was trying to figure out all the details of this intricate web site and didn't realize it. I'm still trying to become an expert at using all the features on here! This site is like children----They don't come with a users manual! My Bad.

My next planned drive along I40 has a preplanned stop at the Big Texan Steak Ranch.  There's no if ands or buts about it.  

No amount of whining will prevent me from stopping at this tourist stop.  Last time we had to stop at the truck stop.  :(

I must experience it!  I will not be eating a 72 oz. steak.

You'll have a great time...it's a lot of fun. When are you going?

 

Foodbme

Not that I agree or disagree, or really care for that matter--I'm just curious. Why was Eating the Road put on the Blocked List? A PM will do.

What is this "Blocked List" and how does one see it? I don't believe I'm on any said list....I didn't get any warnings or messages....and I don't think I did anything wrong....did I? It seems I can still post.

double secret probation!

I can't remember how I heard about Keller's Drive-In in Dallas, TX but they have a great burger. Has anyone else tried it?

Only my second 10 plate review. I had such a good breakfast taco at Juan In A Million in Austin, Texas. Has anyone else been there? I seriously urge you guys to try it:

I have had a cold for over a week and had been feeling weak as a kitten but I am starting to come around and get my appetite back - for the first time in a long while I had to cancel on my lunch group this week and cancel an excursion south.

I had another near perfect meal in Austin, Texas at Hoover's Cooking and Catering. Anyone else in Austin feel like I do about Hoover's and Juan In A Million?

I told you....they were out of mashed potatoes....until much later, which I was able to try and fell in love with.

I want that cinnamon roll!  Did you eat the entire thing at one sitting?

The coating on the CFS looks great, but I'd want more gravy.

Wish places on the west coast knew how to do CFS.  They try, but they miss!
