Bubba's 33 PIzza - Mesquite

The last 4 days, wifey and me had to keep Double Digits, King L and Lil Darlin because Darlin and Sax Man went on a trip to Cancun. So you know I had to cram as much redneck wisdom into the kiddos as I could in such a short period of time. Lot's of time spent on whittlin, spittin, burping, passing gas, etc. You know all of the important functions of life. We got rave revues for our parenting skills. Of course being grand parents, we let them do whatever they wanted to do, eat whatever they wanted and sleep in any room in the house, besides all of the valuable training I gave them. So Darlin' said she and the kids wanted to buy us dinner to thank us for taking care of the grands.

So we did the Butterfly over to Bubba's. I have some avid readers of my informational blog that had recommended the Pizza at Bubba's. Of course Digits will eat pizza 3 meals a day for weeks, so I knew that a suggestion of us sharing a large pizza would be a sure bet. So we ordered a large pepperoni. Once again I am sacrificing my body for the benefit of my readers.

The crust is a thin crust which is a good. The cheese and sauce had a good flavor to them. Of course how can you mess up pepperoni? You just can't. However, like the Stromboli, the pizza was floating in grease. This pizza is way to similar to frozen pizza. You won't mistake this with Pizza Getti, that's for sure. I was very disappointed in the quality of the pizza. My amigo that had recommended it, has a good resume and has given good suggestions in the past. This one missed the mark. (I need to point out that this was a Monday night and Pizza Getti was closed!!!!)

So if you go to Bubba's, get a hamburger. I have now tried several things on the menu and the burger is the only thing to pass muster.

Givem a 6.128

Fuzzy's Taco - Mesquite

It is not very often that Skeeterville gets a new chain restaurant, but we have several new ones lately. Fuzzy's is one of em.

Tonight, the wifey had a ladies book club meeting. You know the kind, cheesecake, gossip and a book laying in their lap.

So I was left alone for dinner. Now that can be a dangerous thing. I can cause all kinds of havoc when not sufficiently supervised. So I did the La Conquista down to Fuzzy's Taco. It was just time to get my Fuzzy on. NOTE: Their entrance is on the side that has very little parking. The side were there is plenty of parking has no entrance. Didn't make much sense to me.

Their menu offerings are the basic Mexican fast food. So I decided to try 3 different tacos for my readers benefit. Both of you are very important to me.

So I ordered a  Shredded Chicken Taco, Shredded Brisket Taco, and a Special Ground Beef Taco. I opted for Crispy shells.

The beef about all 3 tacos are about the same, basic taco with no real enhanced spices. They don't have any salsa's to spice up the tacos. The only real addition is the gouda cheese which helped the flavor some. These tacos are ok, but that is it. But for Mitcho, these things need to be spicier. So if you want Tacos, go to Fuel City, their tacos are 50 cents each cheaper and have much more spicy flavor and they have fried pies!!! So back to the truck stop I go.

Givem a 6.623

Razzoos - Mesquite Cat Fish

So the other night (I have been busy holding down the couch the last day or two), the wifey decided we needed to eat cat fish for dinner, but the weather was bad and she didn't want to drive to Forney to Doe Belly's. So she decided that we would try the cat fish at Razzoos. Now Razzoos is a Cajon kitchen. So we did the jitterbug to Razzoos.

When the waiter came to take our order, the wifey asked if the cat fish was cajon spicey. The waiter did not understand what she was asking. I mean this is a cajon restaurant. You would think he would speak cajon spicey!!!!! So we ordered the Fried Cat Platter and she requested it be spicey. Well that was a waste of time. When the food came, the catfish was just normal cat fish. If we had never eaten at Doe Belly's this fish probably would rate decently, but the stakes are much higher now that Doe Belly's is around. Not a drop of spice on the catfish. It was breaded nicely and had a decent flavor, but I want a Molotov cocktail in my mouth. Not going to happen here.

What's real interesting to this is the fries were spiced up nicely with a cajon spice and the hushpuppies were jalapeno hushpuppies. So why can't the fish be cajon spice?

Oh well, next time we want catfish we will drive to Forney and get the best. As for Razzoos we still enjoy the Andouille/Red Beanz N Rice, it is cajon spicey. And don't forget the fried pickles., these are the best we have had.

Givem a 7.2518 on the cat fish.

Bread Winners - North Park

So it is early January and it is about time to begin working the family still around the clock. So there isn't going to be much time for messing and gumming around Once work gets going I will eat a lot of Whataburger for 3 or 4 months. So I decided we needed to do something special tonight. I told the wifey that we were going to do the Fan Dance to North Park to eat at P F Changs. So the wifey immediately said she needed to go change clothes because North Park is high dollar. So I commented that I was already wearing my dress flannel shirt and I would put on my dress insulated flannel coat. They will serve me.

So off doing the Fan Dance to North Park. When we got there, we found a parking place only 3 or 4 rows over from the entrance. That just don't happen at NP.

So I walk in P F Changs in all of my redneck glory and the hostess immediately tells us that the wait is over an hour long. What she was really saying was "No Rednecks Allowed". Bummer, I am going to have to wear my disguise to be able to eat at Changs.

So now what do you do. We went down the hall to the map of NP. We reviewed all of the restaurant choices and the wifey finally decided we were going to Bread Whinners.

This is one of those places where you tolerate the entre to get to the dessert. So after studying the menu and not finding any valuable redneck grubb, I let the wifey choose. This place even tricks a hamburger up to the point you wouldn't realize it was a hamburger. The wifey chose House Meatloaf.

The meatloaf was surprisingly good. A very good tasting slab of meat. It was also served with Leek Mashed Potatoes. These taters were pretty good also.

Now came time for the real deal. The wifey wanted to know if I wanted to share or have my own dessert. I had shared the meatloaf, but not gonna share dessert. We both ordered Chocolate Seduction Cake. Wow this thing was trying to seduce me to a heart attack. Man it was really good and rich. Of course that is why I ordered it.

Overall, this was a good city slicker meal. Very tasty. I givem a 8.379

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.
