Bubba's 33 - Mesquite Cheese Fries

This afternoon the wifey and me gabbed uncontrollably about the Snuffers coming to Mesquite. You know Snuffers means CHEESE FRIES. Eventually the gabbing turned to Bubba's 33 which is our current upscale burger joint. So the most important question of the day was does Bubba's have CHEESE FRIES. So being the educated redneck I am, I Googled  Bubba's 33(in the old days this meant asking the older kids down at the creek) and checked their menu. Bingo, we don't have to wait till December to get CHEEESE FRIES. At that point the dinner decision was no decision at all. Tonight was Bubba's for CHEESE FRIES.

So the wifey and me did the The Mashed Potato to Bubba's for dinner. We ordered the Bubba's Bacon burger which has already been fully reported in this here blog. However, anytime you can marry Bacon to CHEESE FRIES, you have a winner. Of course we also ordered their Layered CHEESE FRIES. Of course at this point our job was to compare these to Snuffers CHEESE FRIES. Bubba's has several types of cheese, which I believe the cheddar at Snuffers is tastier. Then there is the bacon bits and chives (Mitcho likes all things onion). I think Snuffers puts a heavier coating of cheese, bacon and chives. Oh yeah, there is also fries. I do like Bubba's fries better than most places. Their fries are very thin and fried crisp. It's a good by them selves. Fries are a redneck staple where the criteria is, if they are good for you don't eat them. The serving also includes ranch dressing. We have had ranch at Bubba's before and it tasted like the normal ranch, which is good luving. But this concoction is not ranch. We asked our waiter about this issue and he reported that they mixed their own ranch out back. So the ranch is different everyday because a different employee makes it. The out back makes a redneck think thoughts about a trash can and a fine mixture.  But this concoction did not do it for me or the wifey.

Snuffers also has jalapeno's on the CHEESE FRIES. Mitcho luves his jalapeno's sweet pickles.

Bottom line Snuffer's is going to rule the CHEESE FRIES of Mesquite. Bubba's has a lot of good food and a great atmosphere, but they are going down where CHEESE FRIES  are concerned.

Givem a 7.8524186 Bacon on the burger, bacon in the burger, cheese fries with more bacon is not going to be a bad meal.

After dinner the wifey and me got in our ride and cruised the hood looking for the location of the new Snuffers. It was like old times cruising Buckner Blvd or White Rock Lake. After a few twist and turns, we found the new construction. It will be right in our backyard, so life will be extra good come December.

Here's a shout out to my new blog readers in Algeria. The blog goes out to about 40 countries.

NOTE: Recently a waiter here increased my tip after I left. I went and talked to a manager who did nothing. So I had the difference charged back to my credit card. Won't be going back.

Freddie's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers-Wylie

So the wifey had wandered up north to keep an eye on some of the grands. When Jazz Man came home they decided we would be eating together someplace half way. So they chose a place 5 miles North of where they were which if I am South makes me wonder about their calculation of half-way. Being the smart guy I am, I hopped in the old jalopy and took off for Plum Nelly (aka Wylie). I did the Mazurka all the way. Go figure they drive 5 miles and I drive 25 miles and I beat them by 15 minutes. they got lost and they are the ones that gave me directions, cause I had never heard of Freddie's. Of course my best friend back in my school boy years back in deep redneck country was named Freddie, so I was good with the choice.

So when Jazz Man, Double Digits (aka CBoss, aka Mr. Spinner) King L, Darlin and wifey showed up we sauntered in and studied the menu. I probably should have gone for the steakburger, however, for some reason the Chicago Dog caught my eye. So I stepped up to the bar and ordered me a Chicago Dog. The dog was a weiner, mustard, onion, relish sport pepper, celery salt and pickle served on a piece of Texas toast. This was a purt good dog. Of course Jazz Man showed up with his dog with chili on it. Now I am jealous. I liked the idea of Texas toast and overall it was a good dog. I didn't order fries, but I stole fries from all of the grands. Once I licked the fries, they didn't want them back for some reason. The fries were sliced very thin and fried crispy. I prefer thin fries fried crispy so this was a good. Of course the wifey has me on this seefood diet. I can see it, but I can't eat it, so no frozen custard this trip. I did notice others getting some dreamy looking goop that really made we want to get one. Oh well, next time.

Slim and Shorty's Bar and Grill - Arkadelphia, Ar

The wifey and me had a couple of days of nothing to do and we didn't want to sit in the den and look at each other for several days. She says that it would be an ugly sight, and she is probably right. So we decided to slip over to Lake DeGray Arkansas and spend time with Arkansas rednecks and there is a bunch of them in Arkansas. They actually make me look like almost an upstanding citizen. Almost. Nothing like a couple of days sitting on the shoreline of a beautiful lake, light breeze and rednecks running amuck all around us. Of course the one activity we have to do is eat and as you can figure out, I sure like eating. We also like to listen to music. So I did some research on Google and the only joint in Arkadelphia that came up with music was Slim and Shorty's. Nothing like getting free music with your meal.

So we did the Bolero to Slim and Shorty's for dinner on Friday night. The joint is on the square in downtown Arkadelphia. A small but decent looking joint. We went in and grabbed a table. The decoration is beach oriented. There weren't many tables, but they were almost all full. The waitress came along and took our drink order. You know, Tea, because I am a teetotaler. I know that can almost cost me my redneck card rat there.  After reviewing the menu, I decided that I am going for the Chicken Wraps. My doctor has been on me lately about me losing weight, so I am trying to eat closer to right. Which means I have abandoned the redneck food altogether. However, chicken (yardbird) is a redneck staple, but most of the time it is fried not grilled. The wraps had chicken, lettuce and a dressing. It really needs some more add ins. You know mitcho is big on onion and a few jalapeno's would not hurt anything. The meal also came with chips and salsa. The chips were just chips, but the salsa had a very interesting spicey flavor. You can see all of the black pepper in it, but it had other goodies in it also. This was the best part of the meal.

After awhile  we asked the waitress if there was going to be music. She said "No", we only have music occasionally. So the town of Arkadelphia is music free most of the time. What would a good redneck do if they lived in a town with no music. Of course the town has a large Baptist University, so they may have some input on the businesses in town. I am a good Baptist, but I still like my music.

Overall a pleasant dinner with the wifey.

Givem a 7.0 (no music or onions)

Wing Stop-Mesquite Louisiana Rub

Me and the wifey decided it was time for some chicken lickin. You know I am the founding member of the 1st Fried Chicken Eatin somewhat Bapitst Mostly non-denominational church. So chickin is important business.Of course I actually call it yardbird. When we went to my grandma's, she would go out into the yard and chase down a chicken, which became lunch. This, yardbird. Any self-repecting redneck's food is dominated by fried chicken. So obviously I need to be eating yardbird regularly. For all of the reasons above the wifey and me did the Chicken dance to Wing Stop.

I originally wasn't thrilled with Wing Stop. Of course I never tried any of the fire in the hole flavors. I am stupid, but not that stupid. So I have always wandered in the middle, I want some flavor, but I want my tongue to work afterward. Recently I tried the Louisiana Rub. This is a very strong coat of Cajun spices. You know I like Cajun spices. So I have found my home, the Louisiana Rub is the bomb.

Tonight I ordered 7 boneless wings with Louisiana Rub. Last time I ordered 8 and my mouth was on fire when I finished. One less was better. This is some good fixins rat here.

We didn't order fries this time, but WS fries are coated with something that has sugar in it and it gives the fries a very good taste.

5 Guys Burgers -Rapid City, SD

Me, the wifey and double digits was just slightly north of east Dallas in Rapid City, SD spending a week surveying and getting to know rednecks in the area. You know there are rednecks all over the US, there are just more in the South. So the South Dakota redneck is part cowboy and part redneck. I am not really sure where one ends and the other begins, but they still whittle, spit, pass gas and hop freights. So while there we toured some failed gold mines, watched a cowboy fast draw contest and other good redneck activities.

Eating while traveling with Double Digits is very interesting. He could eat pizza 3 meals a day and the wifey does not want to eat pizza. His only fallbacks are hamburgers and hot dogs. So our food was very limited in types. Sounds like a good redneck for the future. We did the hand jive over to 5 Guys Burgers.

We were on the Hamburger action and chose 5 Guys, when Digits said that they had a great Hot Dog. It was really good. So there was nothing I could do, but dog it up. Their hot dog is a very tasty and large brat on a normal bun. They also have a long list of items you can add to the hot dog, just like their hamburgers. So you can have it your way. Of course I loaded mine with mustard, relish, onions, jalapeno's, etc. This dog was DOG GONE good.

We also ordered Cajun fries. This is always interesting as even Cajun restaurants sometimes don't know what Cajun means. These fries were really loaded with Cajun spices. I mean they were almost orange there was so much on them. Man these were some really good fries.

So the bottom line, the dog and fries were both very good.

Uno Pizzeria - Downtown Fort Worth

I am blessed with 6 wonderful grand kids. I see my job as the redneck granddad to teach them all things redneck. They need to know the important redneck activities, spittin, whittling, passing gas, hopping freights, etc. The 4 oldest are old enough to take on adventures and learning experiences. I decided it was time to ride the rails. Before you go call the sheriff or CPS, we bought tickets and everything. We didn't hop a freight, this TIME. Stay tuned.

The wifey and me gathered up Double Digits (formerly known as CBoss), Darlin, King L, and Precious and off we go. We went to the nearest Dart train station (the Dallas commuter train) and bought all day regional pass tickets, no freeloading in front of the grands. We rode the Dart into downtown Dallas to Union Station. We exited the Dart train and got on the Trinity Rail Express  that goes to Fort Worth. The TRE is similar to an Amtrak train that goes from city to city, so this is the real train experience. Nothing is too good for the grands. We got off of the TRE at the Intermodel Transit station in Downtown Fort Worth (basically a huge bus and train station). We caught Molley the Trolley around Downtown to Uno's.

I have heard a lot about Chicago Deep Dish pizza. I have to confess I am a thin crust kind of guy. We were so poor growing up that everything was thin crust. My son had recommended Uno's and said it was known as the best Chicago Deep Dish pizza in North Texas. So that gave us a destination for our train ride. While ordering my whole gang wanted thin crust, but I had to try the Deeper dish, so I ordered a personal size pizza. I ordered the Numero Uno. If it is number one, it has to be good. This is a pizza with sausage, pepperoni, onions, peppers, mushroomos, tomato sauce and cheese. I really couldn't tell there was sausage or pepperoni on it, but the other stuff was all there. The crust was very different from any thick crust pizza I have eaten. It seemed almost like it had been fried, it had a good taste and texture. Next time throw on some sausage and pepperoni and you may have something.

We ordered a couple of pepperoni thin crust pizzas for the kiddos. After my pizza I had several slices of the thin crust pepperoni. The thin crust was a good crust and of course cheese and pepperoni is always good.

Be aware that this is a classy downtown Fort Worth pizzeria. It is not cheap. I would recommend you go by the local Car Title Payday Loan shop or go see Vinny the Dollar in Little Sicily and get some extra cash, you are going to need it.

For my buddy Kyle, no worries, this pizza is nowhere as good as the Deluxe Pizza at Pizza Getti on Buckner just north of 30.

The Slow Bone - Irving Blvd Dallas

The wifey is a highly educated classy gal that occasionally has a little redneck in her blood. She is a descendant of  Fannin County farmers, enough said. So the last few weeks she has been craving the best fried chicken in North Texas. She has been on a hunt for the best. She got from good sources that the best was in downtown Dallas and we had to go. The problem was the place closed two years ago. So back to the drawing boards and more research. So she finally decided The Slow Bone was the Shangri La of fried chicken. All I have heard was fried chicken, fried chicken and fried chicken. So at lunch today she informed me it was fried chicken day. There was nothing I could do but grab the gusto and do the chicken dance with her to The Slow Bone.

The Slow Bone is a small old building with limited parking in an old part of Irving Blvd near downtown. It is mainly a BBQ joint and it looks like one in everyway.  You won't be running into any corporate presidents in this place. So this is safe haven for an upstanding redneck.

Of course the wifey ordered fried chicken. I wasn't letting her out of there without eating fried chicken after all I have heard lately. I went for the Cilantro Sausage, Mitcho is a Sausage kind of guy. We also ordered fried okra, beans and hush puppies.

The wifey reports that the fried chicken was not smoked, but some of the juiciest she has had. She liked her chikin likin. The sausage had a good flavor, not quite spicey enough for me, but better than most normal sausage. The fried okra was some of the best I have eaten in many years. The next time I go I am ordering a pint of okra just to eat with my lunch. Man this stuff seamed like it was fresh from the garden and was battered like grandma use to do it. Not the ole frozen stuff you normally get. Luv me some of their okra. The beans were doctored up nicely and had a smoked flavor. This is a plus. Most BBQ joints just have basic pinto beans with no added zip. The hush up puppies also had a smoked flavor and were very good.

So it may be a drive for you, but it could be worthwhile to take a shot at The Slow Bone, tell them the Wifey sent you.
