Buc'ees - Terrell

I have made it clear in the past that I married way way up. The wifey is a high class cityfied gal with impeccable  tastes at least for a cityfied gal. So once in a while I have to man up and give her some top class treatment. You know that means a very fancy meal. Tonight it was time to bust out the good stuff to stay in good graces, which is very difficult for me. Being the smart guy I am, I threw out Buc'ees to see if it would land. Man she was over the top happy. Nothing like a Buc'ees meal on a Saturday night.

We loaded up the family jalopy and started out doing the Cinderella slide to Buc'ees. Once we got to Hwy 80 it turned into the Louisiana Crawl. The wifey was almost out of drool by the time we finally made it to Terrell. I couldn't keep up with her going into the store.

Buc'ees has a very wide variety of foods. I am told by my known associates that have very wide resumes on the waist line that the BBQ here is right smart good and it smells really good in the store. Other friends brag on the jerky in which they have more flavors than Carter has pills. But the Mitcho is a kolache man. Kolache must mean meal in a home made bun.

The wifey went for the Ham and Cheese, but I went for two of the Sausage and Cheese Kolaches. Man these things are goooooood. Not Czek Stop in West, Tx good, but mighty good. The bread has that wonderful fresh out of the oven sweet taste. The sausage has a nice flavor and cheese is always a good extra. I also went for a cinnamon roll. Now right here, Buc'ees is a tie with the Czek Stop. The Czek Stop cinnamon roll is to die for, but Buc'ees is just as good. I am thinking about going back later to get another one. Wow this was good. The only down side is there is no place to eat at Buc'ees, so we eat in the car with the A/C running. It was only 106 today.

So if you are heading east or west on I-20 or Hwy 80 and you have a hankering for a mighty good meal, take the Buc'ees exit (you know, the one that signs have been advertising for the last 100 miles, I don't care where you came from) and grab you up some of these fine fixins and get me a half dozen cinnamon rolls and drop them off at the house. I will be happy to pay you later.

Four Winds Steakhouse - Wills Point, Tx

Life has been good for me and the wifey (except of course for the Corona Virus with No Lyme) and we decided to celebrate a little bit. The wifey has an affection for dead cow medium well done. So I decided it was steak time. You may not believe it, but occasionally I can get out of trouble.

I hear tell that the cattle rustlers at Four Winds can catch and cook up a mighty good steak. As you know Four Winds was the 55 Ranch which was owned by Lee Roy Jordan, a true and respected Dallas Cowboy back when the Cowboys were a respectable team that we were all proud of, not like this group of Wannabees that have a longer list of arrest records than positive accomplishments. You can't find this bunch anywhere on Super Bowl Sunday. But I digress.

So we did the Long 20 to Wills Point during rush hour on Hwy 80, boy was that ever fun.

This is one of those fancy places that you order everything individually. So we settled on salad, meat and dessert. You don't go to one of these places to eat vegetables. Of course vegetables are not a main stable in my diet anyway.

I ordered the house salad. This thing has Mesclun Mix, Bacon Buttermilk Dressing and Honeyed Pecan croutons. Let me break it down for you. Mesclun Mix means weeds that I spray Round Up on to get them out of my yard. The Bacon Buttermilk dressing was ok, not as tasty as a good Good Value ranch or Thousand Island, but it was ok. The honeyed Pecans were a way to get rid of all the pecans that fell from the pecan trees on the ranch last fall. Of course pecans are fancy and I like em, but a good seasoned crouton would have been better.

About half way through the salad the waitress dropped off two Jim Bowie knives on the table. This really scared me. My first thought was I was about to have to field dress the bovine prior to the grilling part. I have done this and it was not as much fun as it sounds. My next thought was, this was going to be a fancy steak. You should be able to cut it with a fork according to their cred.

We both ordered a  filet mignon. Wow, this thing was very tender. It would melt in your mouth. Did I say tasty. It had a great flavor. I am guessing they threw some spices on during grilling or they fed the stolen cows with their pecans.

We opted to forgo vegetables and go directly to dessert. I opted for the chocolate cheesecake. This was some right scrumptious cheesecake. Not quite as good as Cheesecake Factory, but very good. There was no saving part of it for tomorrow. The wifey got the chocolate mouse. She indicated it was very good. I heard some talk of licking the bowl and I think when I was not looking some of this may have happened. She is a chocoholic.

The service was great. They were as fast and efficient like a Lee Roy Jordan blitz.

So if you have a months pay laid back or a friend with deep pockets, gather the gang up and head to Four Winds. Just don't drive your herd of cattle this way. They may wind up on the grill.

Ten 50 BBQ - Richardson

Being a high falutin redneck with a reputation of solving problems with the revenuers, occasionally a good ole redneck finds himself in need of powerful advice on how to dodge the revenuers. If I find one with money in their pocket, I have'em buy me a lunch for my troubles. Today I had one of those rednecks in need with money in their pocket and we met at Ten 50 BBQ after I had done the Moonshine Boot & Scoot to Richardson .

I had never been here before. This is a high class BBQ joint. The deco is modern Millennialist, not deer heads on every wall redneck country.

This is an order your choice meat by the pound and pay for each side. Not the ole get a plate which comes with two sides. So I set the redneck in need back some in his pocket change.

I ordered the chopped beef samwhich. Normally, chopped beef means all the bad pieces of the brisket that have been cut off in the last 30 minutes chopped to death. Not here. The chopped beef was slices of the lean BBQ chopped up some (really needed a little more chopping but who is complaining). I thought they were trying to stack the whole cow on the buns. I don't think I have ever seen a BBQ samwhich that thick in meat. I knocked a good amount of the meat off on the side for after and still had a good sized samwhich. This was some good Q with a real nice flavor.

I also ordered their brisket baked beans, which were a flavored up pork N beans with brisket mixed in. So pretty good fixins rat here.

So if you have fought all morning to get anywhere on 635 and end up in the Richardson area at lunch time, call up a few friends and have'em meet you at Ten 50. Who knows one of em may have extra money in their pocket and buy your lunch. You can always hope.
