First, no one in TX would have the sense to name this hotdog after their beloved state. The weenies were of a pink that seems to suit toenails more so than meat. The sauce, secret or not, looked like brown-green, watery diarrhea with a load of onions on top. It tasted sour, beanish, with a hint of relish. The milkshakes( $3.25 each) were watery, more milk than ice cream with a couple squirts of chocolate syrup. The french fries had to have been from the bottom of a fryer full of vintage oil; they were the cheap, shoestring variety cooked to a very dark brown. Let's just say burned. The 3 of us couldn't swallow more than one fry each. The restaurant was cute, with cool looking tin ceiling tiles. It looks like a popular place, but that just makes me wonder what the people eat the rest of the week that makes them crowd the place on weekends. We didn't try the Texas hamburger--but apparently it's burger meat folded inside a hot dog bun. We barely made it to K Mart's restroom...
The zoo docent told us that the orangutans' hill doesn't have termites in it. They poke their sticks in it to get strawberry jello. Sure beats a Texas Hot.
Then I'm glad we didn't get in that day we tried to! Perhaps it should be Texas Trots.
ReplyDeletelol. And it wasn't just me being in a pissy mood...we all were disgusted. It was a scarey ride home,a couple times I was afraid Ken would have to swerve over and jump out into the trees.
DeleteWe did have a good time making up stories about the popularity( there were 2 elderly ladies chowing down on the same as ours, so I don't think we had a bad batch) of the place. My version consisted of an old TX wrangler who'd lost the important parts of his tongue in a tragic rodeo accident moving to NY in 1920) I think the place opened in 1921), meeting the original owners, and trying to explain what southern chili tastes like.
