Bubba's 33 Mesquite - Stromboli

The wifey tonight said we needed to do something different for dinner tonight. So after a brief conversation, she decided we were going to Bubba's 33. Of course we haven't been there in about 10 days. So we did the Bump and Grind to Bubba's.

We decided to try the Stromboli tonight. We had a friend recommend it. So you know when a bud says you gotta do something, a good redneck goes and does it. It's in the code.

But first we ordered a full order of onion rings. Man that is a lot of rings and they are very good. So grab ya some rings next time you find yourself in Bubba's.

Then we ordered the Stromboli. Man this thing is unreal big. I am estimating about 18 inches long. We could have had half of one and it would have been plenty and that is with us splitting that half. The Stromboli was very greasy. It tasted pretty good, but it was much greasier than the Stromboli at Joes or Napolis. I would prefer limited grease, not floating in it. So not so impressed with the Stromboli.

So the burger here is a top 5 burger, I hear the pizza is good also and that will be next time. but pass on the Stromboli.

Givem a 7.00 (most of this is because the onion rings are so good.)

Recently a server increased my tip after I left the restaurant. I went to a manager who did nothing. I charged the difference back to my credit card. I won't be going back.

Cotton Patch = Rockwall

We were invited out to Rockwall to babysit grandkids. You know that this is important time for a redneck granddad to spend with his grandkids, especially when the parents are gone and can't supervise. How else are they going to learn to spit, whittle, understand slang, pitch washers, etc. So of course we babysit anytime we have a chance.

So we decided to do the Black Bottom to the Cotton Patch in Rockwall on the way for some dinner grub. Since the Black Eyed Bean closed, Cotton Patch moved up in the world of home cooking restaurants.

It was cold tonight. They seated us about halfway into the restaurant and it was still way too cold. It didn't seem like they had the heat running. So this is going to have to be a warm weather option. Not going back when it is 30 degrees outside. Of course if they would have let me fire up a burn barrel next to the table, all would have been good.

I had pre-planned to gobble me some meatloaf, you know some high dollar redneck food. However, here it comes, almost immediately the wifey is talking sharing. Somehow, I worked the deal for her to order her on meal and I get meatloaf. I need to review the security camera to figure how that happened. So I ordered the meatloaf, fried okra and cinnamon apples. How can a home cooking place stay in business and not offer red beans. I have gas passing lessons to teach later and need fuel.

The meatloaf was just OK, so I guess that is God's punishment for not sharing. I am big fan of meatloaf, but this wasn't it.  The fried okra was pretty good and the cinnamon apples were good. The rolls that were brought out looked like they were ready to go into the oven to cook. They were ok, but could have been better.

So we got fed and was on our way, but not the best meal we have had at a Cotton Patch.

Givem a 6.496

Buttermilk's - Canton

So the wifey and me are on a trek to Marshall to see the Wonderland of lights. We planned our blast off to be in Canton at lunch time. So we did the Biscuit and Gravy to Canton.  We have been to Buttermilk's before. This is a very cute restaurant on the square. They serve the typical Texas cafe grub.

So when we got there, everyone in Canton was there. We had to sit at the counter because that was the only seats left. Also at the counter was two lawyers. If they let lawyers in the place, they will let anyone in here.

So in reviewing the menu, I discovered that they serve Fried Bologna Sandwich. Now this is high dollar redneck food. It just doesn't get any better.

The sandwich comes on Texas toast, which is a good! There are two very thick slices of Bologna lightly fried. I would prefer them to be really fried, but I will point that out next time. And there will be a next time! This masterpiece is floating in cheese. They normally put mayo on it, but I ain't no sissy, so I had mustard instead. They do need to allow a few additions: pickles, onion, bacon, jalapeños and peanut butter. Cooked right, I call it a Poor Mitcho.

It also comes with chips they fry there, which are better than Lays.

This was a great find. So let's grab the whole gang and wannabes and head to Canton.

I giv'em a 8.752.
