Hot Rodz - Crandall, TX

 When I come out of hiding, I hang out with this gang from my church, The First Fried Chicken Eating Mostly Non-Denominational Somewhat baptist Church. The gang is all excited about this girls high school basketball team in the state playoffs. So since I was out of hiding for a day or two the wifey decided we were going to see them play. 

As you know that also was a good excuse to grab some grub. Crandall, TX today is being taken over by high falutin people in the last few years, but before that it was a high class redneck town. You know, my kind of folk. So you know there is some good redneck food in this place. 

Before we went we searched for the menu for Hot Rodz and looked at pictures of their food. I had noticed red beans and sausage. When we get there it is not on the menu, but I notice a placard on one table (must be the redneck only table) that had the red beans and sausage on it. You can have my menu, my mind is made up. The meal also comes with corn bread. I am home, it just doesn't get any better!!!!

The corn bread was some the best corn bread I have had in a number of years. Man bring me another basket of these.

The red beans and sausage was as good as you can imagine. I didn't think about it till I was done, but I should have floated it in hot sauce. Man it would be so good you would just have to slap yo momma. Anyways it was very good. We just gonna have to come back here from time to time, basketball or no basketball. The folk I was with had a BLT and chicken fried steak sandwich and raved about them.

Kearney's Feed Yard

Kearney's actually use to be a true feed store, where you bought horse and cow feed, live chickens, rabbits, etc. Cool place to hangout. Till the fire. The owners wanted to be sure there would be another fire someday, so they built it back as a restaurant. Fortunately for me, it is in a county I have not been run out of YET.

The wifey and me go to the First Fried Chicken Eaten Mostly Non-Denominational and Somewhat Baptist Church. We are involved in a Community Group with some highfalutin folk where we communitize and study the Lords word. Our extra curricular activities are decided upon by our women folk. Around Valentines, they team up and decide we are taking them out to a fancy meal for Valentines. Of course us guys say "Yes Ma'am". It would actually be more appropriate to take my bride to Long John Silvers, Taco Bell or Bells Better Burgers, places the wifey has many memories. or indigestion.

They chose Kearney's Feed Store which at least brings back many memories.  The memories are about cute rabbits and chickens, not chicken fried steak, even though one leads to the other. 

On the way to the restaurant I was given permission to order my own food instead of sharing what she wants. This is epic. I actually had to look at the menu and decide what I wanted. After careful review I settled on the spaghetti and meatballs. 

The salad that came with the meal was pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but pretty good. 

Texas toast came with the meal and Texas toast is good with anything.

The spaghetti and meatballs were ok. The spaghetti was like most, but the sauce left you wanting more flavor. I have had worse, but after have it as Pizza Getti, I have had the best and this is not it. We have eaten here before and had chicken fried steak which was very good. See previous blog of about a year ago.

We had a great time visiting with folk and getting to know them better.

Campisi's Mockingbird

 

As some of you know I have been on the run from the Federale Revenuers the last few months. So there is no safer place than to be with the FAMILY at Campisi's. This is the place you went to in the 50's to 70's to get mobbbbbbed up. If you look at their website, the history page is titiled La Nostra Storia. I am just saying. 

The website talks about cousins in New York. I bet they had more than cousins in New York back in the day. I wonder how many times you have to go to be part of the FAMILY.

If you come form Dallas and always lived in Dallas, you owe it to yourself to at least once be a part of long history. Just don't take any police, sheriffs, FBI, ATF, etc.looking friends with you.

 So the wifey was a real gamer and agreed to make the run with me. Of course by half way there she was talking about sharing. I hear their pizza's are great, but that will have to be another day, because the wifey isn't eating pizza outside Pizza Gett.

The wifey studies the menu and decides we are going to order the Mob Family Special (Pasta Combo Plate). Knowing I could be hungry at the end, I also ordered Joe's Special Garlic Toast.

We started off with the Garlic Toast. Now let's just stop right here. This is some mighty good fixins. We guess they have soaked the Texas toast in a vat of garlic butter. Man this was some good luvin.

The also brought the house rolls, but pass them up and go for the Garlic Toast. If I am going to eat the house rolls, I am taking my chain saw with me.

In seconds, they brought us house salads. The salad is the normal lettuce, green olives, peppers and house Italian dressing which was very good. Two thumbs up on the salad. 

Within probably two minutes of ordering we already has the Garlic Toast and the Pasta Combo. Since we were sharing, they split it into two plates for us. This improves my chances of getting to eat. The Combo was floating is red sauce. I call it red sauce because it was not pasta sauce you expect on spaghetti, lasagna, etc. but it was very tasty. I liked it for a change of pace.   

We each got one ravioli. This was noodle stuff filled with cheese. We kinda expected it to have meat in it. Covered in the sauce it was very tasty. 

There was only one meatball and it was on the wifey's plate, so I figured I lost out there. But you know she luves me bunges, so she offered to half it with me. You can't get a better wifey. The half meatball was a very good meatball. The spaghetti with the sauce over it was also very good. 

The lasagna was very similar to the ravioli, it was noodle and cheese. The cheese was pretty thick and was kind of hard to cut. It had one thin layer of something. If you looked real hard, there may have been a little meat there. Of the whole meal, the lasagna was the least of my favorites. I would say here that it is no where as good as the lasagna I cook, but then I cook world class lasagna that gets raving reviews by anyone that has the pleasure of partaking it.

Overall, this was a very good meal and a great experience of Dallas history. I just feel more FAMILY just being there.
