Even the Food Porn is Bigger (if not better) in Texas

Well, Readers, I wasn't going to blog again, but, after our brunch experience today (Father's Day), I was told I had to blog about it.

What happened to yesterday? Well, you know there was U.S. Open golf on for 14 hours, right?  John and I watched almost all of the 14 hours.

Breakfast was from Buc-ees.  John keeps pronouncing it like "Bucky's," but you see the spelling.  eeeeeeessss...

I took a picture.  I called it an oversized convenience store.  John said people lay out their trips so they can stop at one.  It's called culture. :)

Then golf.

Then we had Thai fusion for dinner.  The pictures are on this link -- it's almost all food porn.

But the highlight of the trip will be brunch.

As it seems I am known to do, I "found this place on Yelp."  It got 4 1/2 stars for brunch.  And the reviews said "you have to try the pineapple upside down pancakes."  Whoa!

John had another idea: a "hole-in-the-wall" in a nearby town that does good food.  He claimed.  But he agreed to go to my place so he could have "complaining rights."

Well, getting there was an adventure.  Cross country, Googly saying you could go left or right at one point!  and not lose any time!  How can that be?

Then we turned into "Hicks Airport."  You can't make this up, right?

And then we get there -- there was a full parking lot and a line and a 50 minute wait!

Here's the picture, because, of course at a cafe in Hicks Airport, you have to have an airplane parking lot.   Of course!

We got in quicker than the 50 minute wait and found a buffet!

Of course, it's Texas, so a Sunday brunch buffet includes not just pancake and omelet stations, but beans and ribs and brisket to go in your omelet.

And then there's the famed (rightly) pineapple upside down pancake.  You're given syrup with it and told to try it without -- you won't need it.  We didn't.

It was delicious.

And, now, it's Father's Day.  The U.S. Open traditionally finishes on Father's Day. TV on, a/c on (the RealFeel outside is a mere 105), and we are falling into our food coma.  :)

Have a good one!
