EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS~
Everything is So Big in Texas Ya’ll! We had such a good time exploring around Dallas. Big Tex greeted us at the entrance of the Texas State Fair.
Let me just say if these pictures had smellovison your mouth would be watering! The minute you open the door to this place the aromas are so enticing you just want to sit down with a stranger and eat their food!! The Noodle gods were on our side because right after we arrived and put our name on the list-they put a sign on the front door saying SOLD OUT! They were not seating anymore customers. We were so Thankful we arrived just in time. Recently, Bon Appetite just selected them as one of top new restaurants. Actually, they were named the #2 best new restaurant in the country. I now understand why. We even got to meet Chef Danny Sirisavath who was kind enough to let us take a picture and explain some of his amazing dishes. If you are ever traveling to Dallas be sure to add this one to your list!!
TROUVAILLE Moment (something lovely happened by chance) from our adventure in Dallas….We heard Eric Clapton was staying in our hotel!! The Four Seasons Hotel Las Colinas. So that got us thinking…he must be playing there! 2 nights to be exact with a long list of other guitar greats like: Bonnie Raitt, Peter Frampton, Sheryl Crow, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Citizen Pope, Jimmie Vaughn, James Burton and many more. (Even Johnny Depp and Bill Murray.)The Crossroads Guitar Festival. Just Eric Clapton himself would have been a great Show! But with this one we hit the jackpot! I never in a million years expected that kind of concert was in my future! Saj got to sport his boots! Great night of unexpected great music!
So you can’t go to Texas and not have the BBQ Brisket. We decided to try Hard Eight BBQ. What a delicious FEAST it was! You pick all the meat you want and they weigh it and pay by the pound. That’s $60 worth of good ole meat!
If you are going to be in the Dallas area, The Dallas State Fair is going on from September 27-Oct 20, 2019. The have some Great Bundle Deals going on online so you can plan your fair experience the way YOU want to do it. They have some interesting new foods to try out such as : RUTH’S STUFFED FRIED TACO CONE a taco that looks like a cone, BIG RED® CHICKEN BREAD (my sons are BIG RED lovers) a BIG RED doughnut with a crispy piece of friend chicken, FERNIE’S FRIED BURNT END BURRITO-The pinnacle of barbecue combined with everyone’s favorite spicy appetizer! A large flour tortilla is filled with a jalapeno popper spread of cream cheese, savory bacon, Mexican blend cheese, mildly spicy diced jalapenos, pepper jack and smoky nuggets of barbecue burnt ends. Quick fried to a golden brown crispy and served with a sweet tangy, spicy barbecue sauce. Give me One of EVERYTHING PLEASE!
EXTRA SPECIAL….Every Wednesday the fair will host Sensory-Friendly mornings where from 10am-1pm the sounds and lights were be softer for those needing a more relaxed feel. Throughout the Fairgrounds you can find Quiet Zones.
