Texan Food

I had to go to Dallas for a few days of work. In that time, I was determined to go to at least one BBQ place. At the hotel, I asked around and accidentally started a big discussion about the best BBQ in the area. After some debate, we were referred to Sonny Bryan's, which had a location fairly close by.

I went with Donna and Marie, who were great sports about being dragged off to Texas style BBQ. Craig was having none of that and opted out of our BBQ-a-thon.

At Sonny Bryan's, they had a respectable selection. We all opted for different things. I got the ribs with a side of onion rings. Their buttered rolls were delectably light and fluffy while not entirely drowning in butter. We were especially impressed with the onion rings. They were HUGE, but light in texture and not greasy at all. Excellent specimens of onion ring-y-ness.



We all enjoyed our dinners but then realized that they had cobbler! So we shared a peach cobbler a la mode. It too was an excellent example of good simple food. The cobbler was not complete mush and the topping was crisp. The vanilla ice cream was good but unremarkable.



The next night, we managed to go somewhere really good, Via Real, where we talked Craig into joining us for dinner. I had the macadamia nut encrusted scallops which were delicious. The margaritas weren't bad either.
