Pork Dumplings

Fried Soft Shell Crab In Green Curry Sauce

The two soft-shell crabs were buried underneath the green curry sauce.  But, they were both crisp.

Thank you, Jaxson’s.  (Again.)  We grew up loving you.

Favorite Snack of the Year -- Gokul Sweets Masala Peanuts

Favorite Snack of the Year, Again

Gokul Sweets Spicy Masala Peanuts

Almost three years ago, we discovered these amazingly delicious spicy snacks in the glass covered case closest to the bakery counter register.  We’ve been devouring them ever since.  Now, this was a very close call.  It could easily be a three-way tie between Gokul Sweets Masala Peanuts, Masala Cashews and Black Pepper Cashews.  And, the masala spiced deep fried chickpea dough strips are pretty amazing, too.  But, we tend to finish the peanuts first.  So, the peanuts edged out the cashews for the win.

Road Trip Food -- Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel’s Blueberry Pancakes

“No sharing, get your own pancakes!”

There is nothing light and fluffy about these pancakes.  They’re made from a thinner batter.  And, there’s a decadent buttery crispness to the edges.  Be sure to remove that extra dollop of butter on top unless you’re a hard core butter fan/addict.

And, last but not least, the Elvis shrine…

The Elvis Shrine

Oh, yeah, there’s food, too… like this nachos bar.

The Elvis Green Chile Fried Chicken

Breaded with crushed potato chips, topped with shredded cheese and served with canned pickled jalapeños on the side, it’s clear that this place is more about the Tex than the Mex.

Steak Burrito with Hatch Green Chile Sauce

The surrounding kitsch rubs off onto the food.  There’s a distinctively weird retro thing going on with the food here.  Maybe it’s the canned jalapeños, but, we both think this is probably what tex-mex food of the 50′s (or 60′s… or 70′s) tasted like.

And Charro Beans

Jalapeño Ranch Dip for the Chips

Chuy’s, they’re doing their part to keep Austin (and now Atlanta) weird!
