Wow, I just stumbled across the Texas Monthly: Recipe Swap with recipes for salsa, BBQ Sauce, Pecan Custard Pie, Boudain, Chicken Fried Steak (from the Broken Spoke!!!), glazed sweet potatoes and on and on and on. Many of the recipes are from Texas restaurants or repros of some especiality.
I can't believe how I feel right now after reading all the different restaurant names that are so much a part of Texas. It makes me miss and love Texas so much. Food is such a big part of Texas culture. For example, in Austin at work a guy would come around and sell breakfast tacos, that his family made in the wee hours of the morning, every day. My favorite breakfast taco is egg, cheese and chorizo on flour tortillas. The best breakfast tacos in Austin were from Enchiladas y Mas and they had super killer Chorizo Migas. Tamale House #3 was great too. Tamale House kept Lousiana Hot Sauce on the tables and I think LA Hot Sauce is better than salsa on breakfast tacos.
So here's some more of my other favs since I'm on the subject and I can't stop thinking about it: Artz Rib House, Sam's BBQ, El Azteca, El Sol Y La Luna, Pappadeaux, Guerro's, Hut's, Hyde Park Grill, Hoover's, Taco Xpress, Central Market, Magnolia Cafe, Dot's, Sweet Georgia Brown BBQ (Dallas). There's a bunch of places scattered across Central and East Texas whose names I can't remember. They're all BBQ, Mexican, Cajun and one Diner in Blanco with a four lane manual pin-set bowling alley in the backroom.
Okay I think I've purged my brain. I get so excited thinking about all these cool places and boy do I miss 'em.
