After the game in Houston, we all went back to the hotel and were ready for a nap. We also knew we didn’t want to fight traffic and crowds to go to dinner, especially with a large group of us. So we agreed on a power nap, and then dinner at NOE Grill, which is in the hotel. …
Friday morning in Houston I got up early and went running. Well my plan was to run, but even at 8am that humidity was absolutely oppressive so it was more of a run/power walk combo. The area where I went running had some incredibly beautiful and huge houses. I was kind of hoping to see …
Why is this post 68A? Well, it’s a bakery, not a full restaurant. I did the same thing on the first day of this blog when we were in Bartlesville for a caravan, so I figure I should continue that tradition. I had heard lots of things about Sprinkles Cupcakes. I had even driven by …
Once again, I’ve failed miserably on updating the food blog. However, this time I have a valid excuse. Once August hits, my life gets absolutely insanely nuts getting ready for football season. And for some reason this year was worse. It shouldn’t have been, because we had 2 more weeks before the first home game….but …
My flight from Orlando was scheduled to depart at 4PM on Thursday. I’m really not sure why I did such a late flight, but at the time I booked it, that seemed like a good idea. I re-evaluated once I got to Orlando, and decided to fly standby so I could get home earlier. There was …
Wasabi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro serves up delicious Asian cuisine in the heart of East Texas. Not the easiest to find, but well worth it. In 2011, we did our first Cowboy Caravan in Tyler, TX. We do 8-10 caravans each summer, throughout Oklahoma and Texas; these are fun pep-rally type events featuring OSU coaches …
On Friday of the Dallas trip we were meeting Joni’s mom for lunch. She told me that her mom was really excited to meet me, and the feeling was definitely mutual. Joni had told me so much about her mom that I was looking forward to finally getting to meet her in person. We met …
I’ve been horrible about updating this blog lately, so it’s my mission to fix that and post at least once a week. And of course since it’s been about 3 weeks I have to post even more often to catch up. So to continue my spring break funtivities trip to Dallas, the plan was for …
After our first day of working in the bowl game hospitality room, I was pretty hungry, but didn’t have tons of time because I had to be at 6th Street Uptown that evening for our first “social hour”. Bob and his parents had driven down to Dallas that afternoon, so we decided to meet for dinner …
Okay, so back to posts about food… For the fan hospitality room at the Heart of Dallas Bowl, we decided to use The Owner’s Box, the sports bar restaurant at the team hotel. It wasn’t ideal because while it has a sports bar feel, it is set up as more of a restaurant, but that …
If you like Mexican food, Joe T Garcia’s is one of those places you must go. It’s located in the heart of old Ft. Worth, about an hour from our hotel in Dallas. I had actually never been before, but had always heard such great things so I was excited to go on this big …
When I’m out of town I don’t usually go out to eat for breakfast. Normally I’ll just eat something light at the hotel or skip breakfast all together, and then focus more on lunch and dinner. However, we got kind of a late start to the morning, and by the time we left the hotel …
When it comes to my parents, our eating out options are pretty simple, and usually boil down to Italian, Chinese, Thai or pizza. When they’re here I add in Mexican as an option, and every once in a while will throw in an American option, just because. Regardless, I always check out the menu online, …
After my site visit for the bowl game was done, I headed back to Flower Mound to stay with friends. No reason to race back to Stillwater late in the afternoon. If you’ve never been to Grapevine, you definitely need to visit. I’ve been to the outlet mall a couple of times, but never to …
Wow, it’s been a month since I posted about a restaurant in this blog. That means I’ve got lots of work ahead of me, since we went to about 10 new restaurants in the past month. The evening of our site visit for the bowl game they hosted us for dinner at Texas Spice, the …
