Cooper's BBQ, New Braunfels TX

Very tender and smoky, but very salty. A lot higher priced than a lot of other "hole in the wall" spots.

The Simpsons - "The Food Wife"

Okay, how hilarious is it that one of my favorite shows airs a new episode about Marge, Bart and Lisa starting a food blog, the night after I start my own? AND it featured some of my favorite chefs and Food Network Stars! Could it be a sign that I am on the right track? Ok, maybe not but who cares? Two of my favorite things together, life is good : )

Check out the episode recap at:

Free Food On Your Birthday

Okay Fellow Foodies, one of my favorite tips is about joining your favorite restaurant's email club/online birthday club. Take a few minutes this weekend and actually follow through with this one. My birthday was Monday, and I still have free food that I have not had a chance to redeem in the last two weeks, including free stuff from Ruby Tuesday, IHOP, Taco Cabana, Texas Roadhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, Red Lobster and Sonic, to name a few.  If food spots are willing to give you some freebies to reward your loyalty, I think it makes really good sense to take advantage of them. Let's Eat!

Let's Eat!

If it's delicious, I'll tell you, if it smelled good and looked good but tasted horrendous, I'll tell you that too. We will explore the sights, smells, textures, and overall goodness of some of Texas and San Antonio's holes in the wall, and also Texas' finer cuisine. We will find the best deals, the hidden gems and the local favorites the tourists wish they knew about. Send me your photos, give me your opinions and feel free to agree or disagree with my impeccable observations.

Food should be tasty, sensuous, fun and adventurous...Let's Eat!!!
