Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Yet another latte for my ever expanding collection of latte photos.  This one was on a rainy day and was swirly.

What to order at Lambert’s BBQ in Austin, Texas.

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Here’s what to order at one of my favorite places to eat in Austin, the upscale BBQ joint, Lambert’s.

Go during Happy Hour.

Go upstairs.

Order a Cucumber Gimlet.  See if you can get them to make you a Flor Mirada (which they took off the menu and now I have to beg and plead for one).

Order the Boars Ribs as an appetizer.  They used to stack them up like Jenga.

Have the Iceberg Wedge.  Funny thing to order at a BBQ joint, but they do it right.  Remember, there is no nutritional value to this salad, but it sure is tasty.

Finish off with some brisket or the ribs.  Be sure to use the House Hot Sauce.

If you have room, order the Sweet Cream ice cream.  They make it themselves. 

Go home and wash your clothes, unless you like smelling like a BBQ joint.

How’s this for first-thing-in-the-morning, cup of joe?  I had this fine swirly latte at Haven in Lenox, Massachusetts.

Flannel corned beef hash at The Orange Table in Scottsdale.

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Flannel corned beef hash at The Orange Table in Scottsdale.  This place is in a mall and while I normally avoid such a setting, the Yelpers and the Chowhounders and the Urbanspooners all raved about the hash.  And the jalapeno pancakes.  They were very very right.  I think I licked the plate clean!

You’ve heard of “Meat plus three”?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

You may have heard of the Southern dinner plates called “Meat plus three”.  Basically, you get a meat and three sides such as collard greens, grits and hush puppies.  Etc.  On Oahu, at Keneke’s BBQ, we had a plate lunch, but it was more like “Meat times three”.  I can’t remember what it all was…I think I had pork, pork and pork.  If you look close, you can see a little iceberg lettuce and rice poking out from underneath those huge quantities of meat.

Keneke’s is in Waimanalo on the east side.  Right after we ate, we drove for a bit and came across the prettiest beach with blue blue blue water and lots of people boogie boarding.
