So at lunch today, the wifey suggests we go to Sonic for lunch (Please!!!!). I had a better idea. I had been Dreaming about the Italian Sub at Zeke's Kitchen. The Italian Sub is not on the menu, but I did indicate this is one of those off menu places. So I took my chances. They only have the ingredients for this sandwich when it is the Special for the day. So Mitcho says, go to Facebook and LIKE Zeke's Kitchen. About 10:00 or 10:30 most days, they post on Facebook their Special for the day. If it is the Italian Sub, Step 1, call Mitcho, Step 2 - Bust a move to Zeke's Kitchen.
I did have to eat though, so the Special today was the Patty Melt w/ a side. So I grabbed me a patty melt. This is a good patty of meat on Texas toast, with plenty of cheese and onion. You know Mitcho likes onion. This is a really good sandwich. Mitcho is givin it an 8.65.
I also had the baked beans. This bowl of baked beans is special. They have a hint of BBQ and they have an after burn. Mitcho is liking these baked beans. The baked beans are some of the best I have ever had. Get you a bowl. Mitcho rates the beans at 9.5 (ok, they are only beans, that is about as high as a bean could get).
This meal Zeke's gets a 9.15.
(I spent dinner time tonight between Chuckee Cheese (I call it Cheesy Chuck) and Cici's. Nothing to report there.)

Arby's - Belt Line & 80 in Mesquite
It's Fathers Day which is not as big a deal as Mothers day, but every restaurant in town is going to be full. If you know anything about Mitcho, you know he doesn't like crowds. So we decided to do an alternative meal. So we went to Arby's. We figured no one else would be there and we were right. We had a very quiet and peaceful meal. As you can tell, I can eat in that great place tomorrow when no one else is there.
Arby's is roast beef. I really like their roast beef. I don't ever remember having a bad sandwich. They are very consistent. Today I ordered a Beef & Cheddar, medium size. The wifey indicated she didn't want any fries, but I needed to order a medium so she could eat mine. So medium it is.
The Beef & Cheddar has a thick amount of beef, with plenty of cheddar. I add a good amount of Arby's sauce to every bite and you have a pretty good sandwich. The only problem is there is a good chance of dripping sauce and cheddar on you. I was pretty lucky today, no drips. Givin the B & C a 6.85.
Arby's has curly fries. They are very think cut in a circle. I don't know why I like these so much more than most fries, but I do. The curly fries is almost a reason to go there by itself.
The only hangup at Arby's is when you order, you have to give them a name. Since I was in elementary school, I have had somewhat of a speech impediment. Those that have known me a long time and learned to understand me don't pay attention to it. But new people sometimes have a problem. Some of the hardest letters to pronounce for me are "M" and "CH". Of course this is 3 or the 6 letters of my name. So I never give my real name. Today I said put the order in the name of Beverly. Well I guess I can't say some other letters also, because the order came out as "Bavely". So if you run into me at Arby's and I get Joe's order, it is because I can say Joe.
Arby's gets a 1/2 point reduction for messing up our name.
Arby's gets a 6.75 today.
NOTE: If you know of a restaurant or have heard of a restaurant you would like to have reviewed either comment here or on Facebook. Note I have now reviewed 39 different restaurants that I eat in and I can think of another 10 that I haven't gotten to yet. But I am going to run out eventually.

Burger King - Oates & 635
This morning me and wifey and two friends worked on painting a house for a vietnam veteran this is disabled. We quit a little after 12:00, so we decided to grab a bite to eat. So I suggested we go to Burger King since we were pretty close to it.
The meat on a Burger King hamburger is flamed broiled, which basically means it is cooked on a grill over a fire. You can taste the charcoal effect on the meat and it is very good. For me of the chain hamburger places, Whataburger and Burger King are pretty close.
On this trip I ordered a Mustard Whopper, no tomatoes, with onion rings. At this Burger King, I usually get my order like I like it. It didn't happen today. When I got my sandwich it had mayonaise and mustard. Now who wants that combination, duh. It also had the tomato. Now I like every variation of the tomato, except for a slice of tomato. I can't explain why, it is just that way. This is how I roll. This burger gets a 4. Usually the Whopper gets a 6.
I also ordered onion rings. The onion rings at Burger King are in the top 5 of all of the places I eat onion rings at. Twisted Root is number 1. But Burger King is close. Giving the onion rings a 7.
We had a great visit with friends and a pretty good meal. Doesn't get any better!
Overall, Burger King gets a 5.
NOTE: Do not go to the Burger King at Town East and 635. The last two times I went in there, we waited 10 to 15 minutes before an employee acknowledge that we were even there. (Actually the second and last time, after 15 minutes they had not acknowledged us or took our order, so we went to Whataburger.)
Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers that are my friends!!! Enjoy your day.

Dairy Queen - Smores Blizzard
Lunch today was chicken fajitas at Posados. So at dinner time I wasn't all that hungry. So we decided dinner tonight would be a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Now if you know me very well, you know that I am legendary!!!!! when it comes to Blizzards. I have eaten a Blizzard in a very large number of Dairy Queens all across the US. I have the T-Shirt!!!
So we swung by and picked up darlin, lil darlin, boss and big guy and off to the new Dairy Queen in Wylie. I really like the decorations and the layout of this new DQ (the Texas Stop Sign). My order tonight was a Smores Blizzard. If you know I am a legendary with Blizzards, you also know that I campout a lot. On my camping adventures I have eaten many Smores over a campfire. So it is only right that I mix the two and have a Smores Blilzzard. Since it was my dinner I ordered a large. You can definitely taste the Graham Cracker and there are chocolate squares which have marshmellow in between the two layers of chocolate. This is a very good Blizzard. Mitcho says stop what you are doing right now and head off to the nearest DQ and light into a Smores Blizzard.
I know I said I would only have two 10's, but I didn't think about Blizzards at the time. DQ gets a 10!!!!

Chipotle - Town East Blvd in Mesquite
Me and the wifey were working on painting a home for a senior citizen and was going to start working at 4:30. So we had to eat an early dinner. We went to Chipotle at 3:30. OK 3:30 is the dinner hour for senior citizens. But we are not there yet, at least in regards to dinner hour. 6:00 is more like it.
I was amazed at how many people were eating at Chipotle at 3:30. Quite a few people in the restaurant and they were all young people. We have eaten dinner here several times lately around 6:00 and the restaurant was crowded with a line to the door. The food is good, but this seems more like a lunch spot to me.
I ordered a burrito here. I get a vegetarian burrito, but the wifey gets the chicken and really likes the chicken. I get pinto beans, brown rice, bell peppers, onions, medium salsa, sour cream, cheese and lettuce. I like the burrito pretty good and it fills you up. I give it a 6.
We also ordered chips. Their chips come in a bag. I suspect they bag them at 8:00 in the morning because they are approaching stale by late afternoon. Their chips use to have a good lime flavor, but they now are basically just chips. Since they were stale, the chips get a 4.
Overall Chipotle gets a 5.75.

Black-Eyed Pea - Mesquite Restaurant Row
Had a virus last night and today, so I was a little puny at dinner time. So I wanted to eat somewhat healthy. If you read my post regarding Luby's you will understand why I didn't go to Luby's. So the wifey and me made a run for Black-Eyed Pea. This is basically a place to get a home cooked meal from a chain restaurant. Surely that is an oxymoron.
I ordered mashed taters, macaroni & cheese and cinnamon apples.
I started the meal with Peach Tea. I had high hopes that only lasted till the first glass was brought to the table. Two comments about the tea, it was really sweet and it only somewhat tasted like peach. Givin the tea a 5.
The mashed taters are cooked with the peels still on. With plenty of salt and pepper the taters were pretty good. However, taters are a staple that have to be really special to score, so they get a 5.
Next was macaroni & cheese. This tasted like macaroni & cheese. Basically it either does or it doesn't, there isn't much variation here. So the mac & cheese get a 5.
On to the cinnamon apples. The apples were cooked to a good consistency and were in a sweet sauce. I am still looking for the cinnamon. They get a 5.
The meal came with rolls and cornbread. The rolls and cornbread may have been the best part of the meal. They get a 6.
Overall, the Black-Eyed Pea gets a 5.125.
next time
