Dodge City - Dodge City, Alabama

We had a cheeseburger and onion rings. We had eaten here before and a little bit of this place goes a long, long way.

Raising Cane's - Denham Springs LA

Chicken fingers only, at Raising Cane's

Today we're taking a look at Raising Cane's. It is a highly specialized fast food concept, so if you don't like chicken fingers, you're out of luck: it's all they serve.

They certainly make an effort to excel in the one entree they offer: Raising Cane's uses only fresh chicken tenderloins (that's right, never frozen) marinated for 24 hours. As they say on their website they "only have one love, great tasting chicken fingers" and "consistently serve an exceptionally high quality product with fast food speed and convenience."

Named after the yellow Labrador retriever of the founder, Raising Cane's opened their first restaurant in 1996 outside Louisiana State University. They now have about 45 locations primarily in Louisiana, but also in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, Nebraska, Ohio and Virginia.

Raising Cane's keeps their menu simple with a few variously sized 'boxes' on the menu that always include chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, a drink, and their Cane's Sauce; and might also include coleslaw, Texas toast, or a Kaiser roll to make a sandwich.

Joe's Crab Shack - San Antonio

We had lunch on the Riverwalk. RMC had shrimp and I had Fish and Chips. The best part was the cold drinks after walking in the sweltering heat.

We ate on the waterfront. Burgers and nachos. The food was ordinary, the location was not.

Double D Restaurant - Comfort Texas

Located in downtown Comfort. The outside is not very welcoming. Notice the two motorcycles, a married couple from Denver Colorado.







Inside decor was somewhat rustic.








The breakfast was delicious. Cream gravy was served on the side.

Alto de Jalisco - Fredericksburg Texas

Small Taqueria on Main Street in Fredericksburg. Good food and service

Hill Country Cupboard - Johnson City Texas

Looks like one of the old southern eateries.









Nearly 3 dozen sold. Hmmmm.










We were there a little late for breakfast









Grits and eggs were better than expected. Biscuits
had been cooked earlier and microwaved. Ham
had sugar in it. Better overall than expected.
