A few friends and I went downtown for a brief event this evening. Once we bailed out of the place, we headed over to Frank & Angie’s for a pizza. Our selection was Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, spinach, and jalapeño. It was a tasty pizza and a nice dinner.
Dinner tonight was at PizzaRev in Round Rock near the Outlet Mall. You get in line, choose your sauce and cheese, add all the toppings you want, then watch as they place your pizza in the oven. My pizza had BBQ sauce, Italian cheese, Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Meatball, Spinach, and Garlic. The pizza is cooked quickly with a thin crust, and it turns out to be totally yummy.
As I was walking the streets, alleys, and nooks of Santa Fe, a lovely smell of fresh baked pizza drifted down from the third floor of a small shopping center. I found my way upstairs and discovered Rooftop Pizzeria. I picked out a corner table on the balcony, with a view of the city below and the moon above. My choice for dinner was the Linguine Alfredo – “locally grown green chile, roast chicken with creamy Alfredo over linguine.” As you can imagine, dinner was great!
It was a beautiful evening, so I took a stroll through the Domain, and then stopped in at the Shake Shack for a drink.
The skies were blue and white this evening as was the Flag of Greece flying over the Plaka Greek Cafe. This restaurant is one of my favorites for Greek food north of Austin. Today’s dinner was the #10 – Pot Roast Plate. Yummy. Come and check it out if you find yourself in Georgetown sometime.
When you get stuck in traffic on I-35, just pull over to the local Dairy Queen. Walk into the store with the setting sun at your back, throw down some cash, and order a small Oreo Blizzard. Soon, things will be right in the world, and you can plan a scenic, alternate route home that gets you off of the dreaded Interstate Highway.
What you see here is the stone oven that baked my Pesto Pizza. It included pesto sauce, mozzarella, chicken, fresh basil, and Parmesan. The Blue Baker seems like a nice relaxed spot to grab some grub, make use of the free Wi-Fi, and chill out for a bit. Beware, you may soon see my dusty self hanging out here after a long, hot hiking session in the area.
I first learned about Fogo de Chão in March, and have been wanting to return since then. It is a little bit expensive, but the trick is to go for lunch so you don’t get hit with a killer bill. I skipped the Hotel breakfast, worked up a good appetite, and attacked. It was awesome. Meats everywhere. Check out the website if you have one in your area or come visit the one in Austin or San Antonio.
I had a late dinner at Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q tonight. Pretty simple – brisket and iced tea. It was quite tasty as per the norm, and I was almost the last person to leave the establishment.
