It was Labor Day weekend and we had a private redneck convention at Daingerfield State Park. Daingerfield is deep in East Texas piney woods. This is home to many a redneck. Food is a major part of a campin weekend. The most excitement we had this weekend was when the raccoons invaded our meet up camp site. Immediately the recipes started flowing, BBQ Raccoon, boiled Raccoon, Raccoon on a beer can, etc. etc. Some of it was gross, but very entertaining.
Over the years we go out to eat once during the gathering. This time we decided to head down to Ore City to Catfish Village. This is David Beard's original catfish restaurant. If you have eaten catfish in Texas, odds are you have been into at least one joint owned by David Beards. Now all of us these days prefer to catch our catfish fileted, breaded and deep fried. So all 16 of us paraded our redneck selves into the Village.
This is predominantly an all you can eat joint. So when you take your seat at the table, there is the setup there already. Here the setup is cold slaw and green tomatoes. NO BEANS. Did I mention that they do not serve BEANS!@!!!!!!
I ordered all you can eat filets, which come with French fries and hushpuppies. The fish was pretty good, but not outstanding. The tartar sauce left something to be desired, so I mixed green tomatoes into the tartar sauce. This helped, but did not make it good.
The green tomatoes were very good. The cold slaw was ordinary, ok, but nothing to brag about. The fries were very good. The best part of the meal was the hushpuppies. I could have eaten a basketful of them.
Did I mention that there were NO BEANS. This is totally unacceptable.
