CFS's... that's what I would get!

Mac and cheese? Mashed potatoes? San Antonio Squash?

[Texasgal]

San Antonio squash sound soooooooo damn good!

Yeah, the squash and mashers, cornbread with butter and a big ol' glass of cold iced tea! YUMMMMM!!!

[GOPisEvil]

I'm going to eat a brazilion calories tonight. :D

[Texasgal]

13. I'm soooo jealous!!!

Oh well... I am supposed to go to UCHI tonight and eat some sushi, but damn Threadgills sounds good!

Have fun! :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

14. Oh man...SUSHI!!!!!

I love sushi, too. But, my friend suggested Threadgill's. His wife is out of town so he wants to be bad! }(

[Zomby Woof]

17. SUSHI!!!!

[Zomby Woof]

2. Gotta have cornbread!

Mine is like crack. I LOVE good cornbread, which is hard to come by at a restaurant.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Cooked in a cast iron skillet, dammit!

:9

[Zomby Woof]

9. That goes without saying!

:9

[unsavedtrash]

3. any of those just as long as you have fried green tomatoes too!

[GOPisEvil]

10. Oh, those are good, too!

Decisions! x(

[djeseru]

4. A second on the CFS...

...oooh, my tummy just growled...

I've never eaten there before (here comes the embarrassingly obvious question...), so is it worth the drive?

[Texasgal]

6. There are two locations..

One south/central and one north!

I would say it's worth it... good grub!

[djeseru]

15. This is the one that's on Lamar?

Please excuse my Austin-lameness...I'm still a'learnin!

And I'm always looking for new places to put on a few pounds. :9

[GOPisEvil]

16. I'm going to the one on N. Lamar. That's the original location.

There is another downtown, near the site of the old Armadillo World Headquarters at Barton Springs and Riverside.

[GOPisEvil]

8. If you like that kind of comfort food, I'd say yes.

When you go, call me. I can never get enough. :9

[djeseru]

18. How'd you know?!

It's comfort food for me as well. :9

I really should make the effort to get out there!

[GOPisEvil]

20. I predict a calorie coma.

[djeseru]

[SKKY]

19. Moon pies and RC Cola Baby!!!!!

[southlandshari]

21. LOL - what #19 said!

(and no, he's not my temporary sock puppet!)

[GOPisEvil]

22. This might come as a shock, but...

...I don't think they have either. :o

Homemade pies? They have those in droves. :9

[southlandshari]

31. LOL - I knew they probably didn't....

but still feel compelled to throw a Moon Pie reference into any thread that mentions eating and the South in the opening post.

:hide:

[GOPisEvil]

32. I could get pecan pie.

;)

[southlandshari]

42. You know what's next....

[GOPisEvil]

45. Or...

[southlandshari]

[GOPisEvil]

47. ...

Who knew they made pecan pie way out there in California?

[southlandshari]

48. ....

and who knew you would opt to sample it?

and you would allow a picture to be taken of you with aforementioned pie?

and you would post aforementioned picture here on DU for er, uh, other DUers, to enjoy?


:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

49. The universe moves in strange ways.

It was all California Peggy's idea, that schemer. :D

[wildhorses]

36. lmao

[terrya]

35. I'd go with the chicken fried steak.

One of the things I liked about living in Texas was knowing that chicken fried steak was a big favorite. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

38. I might. But it's a lot of food.

I do like a good cfs though.

[mandyky]

37. My pick

Chicken liver basket with brown sauce
Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed potatoes and white gravy
Old South Butter Beans or Stewed Okra & tomatoes
Texas Margaritas and Coffee
Rolls or Biscuits of some sort

[GOPisEvil]

39. Ugh...I don't eat organ meat, but the rest of that sounds good.

But, I usually get mac and cheese or fried okra in addition to the mashed potatoes.

[EstimatedProphet]

40. Meatloaf sounds really good

[GOPisEvil]

41. Theirs is good, but get the sauce on the side.

It overwhelms the meat.

[Darth_Kitten]

43. Chicken fried steak.

[GOPisEvil]

44. A good choice. I'm getting hungry.

I hope my friend calls me soon.

[GOPisEvil]

51. UPDATE!!! I have returned.

I went with the catfish poboy with red beans and rice for a side. :9:9:9:9:9

[flamingyouth]

53. An excellent choice, sir

:thumbsup: :9

[GOPisEvil]

54. The special dessert was carrot cake.

Boy I sure wanted a slice, but I pushed back the demon!! :D

[flamingyouth]

55. Hey, at least it's a vegetable, right?

[GOPisEvil]

56. Vitamin A, good for the eyes.
