Eating My Way Through Texas

Just returned from an amazing trip with JS and AB to Austin and Dallas. After eating and drinking our way through two cities, I came home to realize I hadn’t stopped to take any quality pictures. Here were some highlights:

2. Flaming Dr. Pepper shots at Touche. It was unreal. Click here for a youtube video.

3. Smoked jalapeno bratwurst with curry ketchup, kraut, onions, and mustard at Best Wurst.

4. Snapshot of the 76 striped/sand bass that we caught on Lake Texoma. One of the best days ever.
