Thanks for the reply.
I think the only thing that San Angelo has going for it is that it is near the Terlingua Chili Cookoff site.
BTW, their steak was not CFS (Chicken Fried, for those of your reading from Ria Linda), it was a genuine chargrilled piece of meat.
Not a big lamb fan, so can't comment on it.
Hog Nut Dumplings were for real. After the hog harvest, the country folks made quick use of the "non smokable" parts of the pig." The dumplings were the same as Chicken & Dumplings (but with the parts changed out!). Actually, they were quite good.
An earlier poster said that his grandmother said there was no better animal than a chicken. Well, true southerners say that the only thing you can't use on a pig is the "squeal". Having lived in the south most of my life, I agree with them...
Cheers...
Heh heh - yes, I guess 300 miles is all relative - "West Texas close."
I knew the steak you talked about wasn't CFS - I just switched over to it when talking about another "huge sirloin" steak place that was good.
Oh, I see what you're saying about the dumplings. Like creamed giblets and dumplings, only *different.* Still sounds good, just haven't had pigs' things myself, 'cept maybe in boudin and then I wouldn't know.
