New Resturants

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:55 pm by winz

Since we have moved Matt and I have made it our goal to try a new restaurant each time we eat out. We only eat out once a week so it might take a while to get through the thousands of restaurants in our area but we are having fun with each experience.

This afternoon we decided to go out for a lunch/dinner after Dean woke from his nap. Matt headed the car towards Southlake because we had errands to run in the area. After driving through the town center we remembered this small little BBQ restaurant near a church we have visited. I suggested it and Matt eagerly jumped at the opportunity as I have turned him down on his offers to dine here twice (I’m a creature of habit). The Feedstore was the perfect dining experience for our Saturday afternoon outing. We selected a table, in the back, near a window, with a view of a pasture full of cattle. Since Dean is going through a “no highchair” stage he sat nicely in a chair and mooed at the cows. I’m sure the other patrons loved our mooing son as they enjoyed their brisket and burgers!

After we enjoyed a wonderful meal of smoked turkey, green beans and okra I took Dean over to the pasture to look at the cows while Matt pulled the car around. Little did we know our cattle gazing experience would turn into a full on petting zoo! One of the sweet cooks was out back loading the catering truck and saw Dean and I walking towards the fence. He called for the cows and they came a running. They were sticking their heads through the fence sniffing Dean looking for a treat – it scared me to have the cows so close! A few minutes later the cook showed up again but this time with a bucket of potatoes and bread to feed the cows. Dean enjoyed feeding the cows and petting their heads, Matt and I enjoyed the food and the wonderful staff. We will definitely visit The Feedstore again, maybe even before we make it to the other 1,000 restaurants in our area. Until Then!
