ROLLER FOOD - QT VS 7-11 INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW



 Some of my known associates in crime like behavior have mentioned over the years a particular roller food at convenience stores that they liked. Now I have never eaten any roller food myself, but it does look similar to varmint on a stick cooked over the camp fire down by the creek. So I am not really that scared of roller food. I have passed by the roller food bar many times and they look inviting, but most of the time massive indigestion looks inviting before you eat it.

I wanted to put several things at rest, is it any good and whose is better. The wifey had one of them fancy luncheons to go to where they serve fancy vitals so I was turned loose on society with no one to keep me out of trouble. So roller food here I come.

I started out at QT. I would guess that their food is pretty consistent at most locations. The QT's in our area also have a small kitchen that you can order many different types of food besides what the roller food. I was there at noon. They have about 3 times more options than 7-11, but on my visit 2/3's of the roller food was still cooking and not ready. You would think that at Noon, they would have all options ready. Also, I went to what I consider the best 7-11 in Hungry Heights to give them a better chance.

At QT I chose a "Cheesy Pepper Jack Taquito" and a "Buffalo Chicken Bites with Cheese". I wasn't sure what the Cheesy Pepper Jack Taquito would be like. Any meat in it? Turns out it was basically Pepper Jack Cheese in a fried tortilla cover. It was pretty good. I could see myself eating one of these at a lunch stop. The Buffalo Chicken was mainly chicken with some cheese in it and a buffalo sauce on the fried tortilla. This was pretty good also. 

At 7-11 I chose a "Taco & Cheese Taquito" and a "Jalapeno & Cream Cheese Taquito". The Taco & Cheese Taquito had taco meat that tasted very similar to Taco Bell and a decent amount of cheese. The Jalapeno & Cream Cheese Taquito was cream cheese with Jalapeno's in it. Yummy. These were pretty good also.

I am calling it a tie.  All four items were pretty good. I would consider any of these for a lunch. Sometimes I am in a hurry and go through the drive-thru at McDonalds only because you can get a cheeseburger and know that nothing will fall out of it into the seat or on me and mess up my dress T-Shirt. In the future I may be swinging by the Roller Food instead.

My therapist speaks highly of the egg rolls at QT, so that may be an option I will want to try next time. They were not ready today.

Givem both a 7.75

The Catch - Garland

 Last week the wifey and me went to dinner with some long-time known associates and grabbed some Pizza at our favorite Pizza Getti. During conversation someone mentioned that they were interested in The Catch in Garland. They had heard about it, but hadn't been there. Well this got it in the wifey's head and she wasn't going to rest till we had tried it. So Saturday night I gave in to her (the couch was getting lumpy) and we did the fish tail to The Catch. 

This is a small place in a strip shopping center just past Walmart at I-30 and Broadway. Basically this is a Long John Silvers plus. The people (probably the owners of record) were very nice. The place has not obtained a liquor license yet, so they are giving away free Margarita's. Now for most people this is a big plus and maybe what all the rumor mill is concentrating on. But for this tea totalier not so much. 

We ordered a basket of fried fish. Fish, fries and hush puppies (I call'em shut up doggies). I was not impressed with the fish. It was ok, but not great. I have been to Doe Belly's and have had great fried fish. The hush puppies were pretty good and the fries were some of the best we have had. They get one atta boy for the fries.  Overall not overly impressed. See ya at Doe Belly's for some great cajun spiced fried catfish.

The wifey can't wait to go back, but agreed she would rather drive 30 minutes in traffic on Hwy 80 to geaux to Doe Belly's than the short drive to The Catch. 

I will say again the people were so friendly I would let them hangout at the creek with me anytime.

Givem 7.01
