Ol' South - Fort Worth, TX

Uh ohhhh... Where do you go when you are hungry at it is late at night? Ol' South of course! It is open 24-7 and the coffee is always hot. It is typically always full of bleary eyed TCU students but you will find yourself among the cutters who didn't get supper as well.

When you are ordering in between dinner and breakfast you get a free pass on what you want to order. Scott and i decided a chocolate milkshake would be totally appropriate. It was outstandingly delicious, I high recommend.

I decided to go for breakfast, short stack pancakes and extra crispy bacon. I like the balance of salty and sweet! I wish I enjoyed he pancakes a smidge more but the texture made them seem like corn cakes, I didn't mind them but i think there was an order mix up. The bacon came out just how I like it, so crispy it basically shatters.

Scott ordered a BLT and let me tell you why you do not need to order it here. First off, the bacon was way under cooked, no one likes chewy raw fat. Secondly, the "butt" of the tomato was served. Never do that! I want to see perfect tomato slices not the piece that should be discarded staring at you. The fries served with the sandwich were good. They paired with the milkshake nicely creating a sweet and salty combination for Scott. 

We really should have gone with our old faithful of German Pancakes. The lemon and confectioners sugar create a decadent sauce served with comforting pancakes. Sinful, but delicious. Ol' South is one of Cowboy Ron's favorite places so you better believe we will be back!

Denny's - Salinas, CA

So Jennifer got tickets to the California Rodeo Salinas yesterday evening. It was a blast! Talk about rodeo friend reunion. Good to see familiar faces and catch up with old friends. Anyhow, all that socializing brought on some hunger! At about 11:30pm Jennifer and I realized our option was pretty much...



Yay. It was surprisingly busy inside - maybe because the rodeo was in town. But anyway we got seated about 5 minutes after our name was put on the waiting list. The Late Night menu was pretty limited. I thought the full menu was available 24 Hours a Day. I guess I was wrong...



I ordered the Sampler. Do notice a trend in what I have ordered lately? Lots of fried food - I seriously need to break that habit. I need more vegetables!! Anyhow, back to the the Sampler. The Mozzarella sticks were nice and hot, pretty standard tasting. The chicken strips were good but the barbecue sauce is what really made the meal! Very tasty. The seasoned fries had a nice crunch. Overall nice... How do you screw up fried food anyway. I promise I will order more healthful next time.



Jennifer debated between the Super Bird and Moons Over My Hammy. I think she wanted the Super Bird all along but just liked saying Moons Over My Hammy... :) So the Super Bird came and it looked just right. For those of you not familiar with the Super Bird it is thinly sliced turkey breast with melted Swiss cheese, bacon strips and tomato on grilled sourdough. Jennifer also asked for the barbecue sauce on the side... we both liked it - I wonder what brand it is?

All in all Denny's was a pleasant experience. I mean for a late night eat it filled our belly's without breaking the bank. I give Denny's in Salinas 2 thumbs up for friendly wait staff, quick service and hot food.
