Ah, is this the Bell Buckle Moon Pie and RC Cola run? Tell me it is, and I'll be there on my new Harley to cheer you on. Then I'll take you over to my sister's place for a rejuvinating steak dinner!

TJ, for me personally, I preferred the public service announcement.....butt sniffin and genital lickin' sounded a lot better than going to see some stupid tower. By the way, Zman says he don't see no stinkin' tower, just a lot of mountains and valleys. Whatever.

PP, no plans for Sunday so why don't you take a road trip and come on up? I'll even buy you brunch! If you leave now you'll just make it in time. Don't laugh. We drove to Prudhoe Bay and back a couple of summers ago, after you get out of Fairbanks (actually Livengood) it's 828 miles up and back on a GRAVEL road. We made it unscathed (not many folks do). A couple of hours after we arrived, here comes this guy, about mid-50's, rode his motorcycle from MAINE to PRUDHOE BAY, tent camping all the way!

So, Poverty Pete, what time should I start the bacon on Sunday? Hmmmm????

Lisa, I believe you would have enjoyed that Sunday brunch. I've taken many people there, and it's always the highlight of a weekend.

As usual, great write-up Mr. Mayor and splendid pictures!!

Dang, I wish I lived closer to you guys so I could participate!

Pogo, have you been to Bean's new location? I think the food was better at the old place, but maybe they just had an off day.

Looks like a good time was had by all! Yo Pete, I tried the "El Texano" spin-off of Judge Bean's down Nolensville way last week and was very impressed with the food and the guy running the place. Had their version of the brisket wrap, only with corn tortillas. Very good!!

That's why Bushie has that goofy grin. That's his second one sitting there waiting to do it's job!

But let's not shy away from the real message....The food was amazing and really "inexpensive". My Carnitas were great and only $7 for a full dinner!

Those are the medium sized drinks. The large ones are 60's. They also are not watered-down versions of what you would get elsewhere. They have a LOT of tequila in them. You start feeling it before it looks like you've even started on one.

Ask Him...Ask Him.

The food was really good and a couple of 45oz Margaritas were enough to slow Bushie down a bit !

Holly, if you're running out of places to try, give me a call. I got a sackful of 'em. Ask me about carne seca tacos and giant margaritas.

Holly, thanks for stopping by. As usual, the Mayor and Poverty Pete always pick the best places. We are looking forward to your report the next time you are in Nashville.

If you get a chance, stop in Knoxvile some time. Give me a buzz and perhaps I can show you some Knoxville things. I do not think we can outdoo Wilma Kaye's but I think we can show you something you will like.

Bobs,

See the Thread on the Misc- Food Related Forum where I am asking for help for our Summer Roadtrips (2 of them). We are headed West...Twice. I know we will pass thru Lexington TN at least once on those journeys

Vic,
The Jalapenos had shrimp (lots of shrimp!) mixed into the cream cheese.

Thanks for sharing Al! Looks like you had a good time... But curious, other then cream cheese, whats that stuffed into the jalapeno? Carrot?? Either way, all the food is lookin good...

BUtt sniffing and genital scratching?...All the while eating bacon wrapped jalapenos?....
I would be careful after eating a jalapeno as to what I would scratch.
Hmm, I wonder what is involved with the testicle festival?
Great photos and review.
Sounds like you had a blast!

Once again a great presentation by Al the Mayor . I hope one day to be able to join some Roadfooders down south on an excursion .

Jog? I didn't say ANYTHING about jogging! Come to think of it -- I didn't see any reference to jogging in that sign anywhere!

It kind of reminds me of the email that I recently received that stated:

"The CN Tower - Canada's National Tower - is the tallest building in the
world, measuring 553 meters (1,815 feet). Here is a great view of her!..."

Good looking tower!

Love, love, love trip reports! Thanks for doing this -- and that was quite a picture of tornado damage. Gonna be a rough spring, I believe.
