I have got to try that carrot cake french toast! And I've heard great things about that pizza restaurant in San Antonio. I'm tempted to make a date night with Ryan there! Thank you for sharing this with me.

Frontera Grill doesn't take reservations, and the doors open at 5pm, so you better be there by 5pm, because by then the line wraps around the block, no kidding. It is well worth the wait, thoughBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116147437102652716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438834463067697623.post-88576666758854048502011-01-07T10:41:03.849-06:002011-01-07T10:41:03.849-06:00@Trish: It's a loaf of carrot cake/bread.

If you try it, let me know how it comes out!!<br /><br />@Veronica & Green Girl: It's so good to be back blogging...I was getting so twitchy being offline!<br /><br />@Kim: You should come to Texas...SA and Austin are only 70ish miles apart. Lots of good eats!!<br /><br />@Claire: The Shack Burger is amazing...not typical fast-food stuff. Everything is made inhouse and it's just so good. The owner is Chef Danny Meyer, who also has Union Square Cafe in NY.

YUM! I know what y...What a wonderful post, Wendy! YUM! I know what you mean about memorable meals, though. Fifteen years ago, we traveled through Memphis on our way to Cape Girardeau and we stopped for lunch at The Rendevous. I'd never had pork ribs before (my mom never cooked pork, except in the form of bacon) and I ordered beef ribs. Our waiter, Lonnie (YES, I still remember his name!) persuaded me to try the pork, telling me he'd buy them back if I didn't like them. I almost stabbed him with my fork when he wandered past our table acting like he was going to take my unfinished plate ... hehe<br /><br />Also noticed one other thing ... are you gearing up in anticipation for wonderful things to come? Your title says "Top Ten Dishes of ... 2011"!!! LOL Seriously - loving the blog - it's so much fun, and so very well done! :)txmom2jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464254694668995005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438834463067697623.post-46111662584402224672011-01-06T09:12:53.359-06:002011-01-06T09:12:53.359-06:00All your meals look so good.
