My picks
The Range Roundup at the Range (on Menaul and University) with eggs over hard, green chile and sausage gravy smothered on top.

Red Devil Roll and vegetable tempura at Azuma.

vegetarian Fessenjoon at Pars

and Chicken Mole Enchiladas at El Norteno.

That's a lot of food but I think i could eat it in a day.; ▶ Reply to This

I must have more of a sweet tooth than y'all do, because my last local meal would require a single stop at the Calico Cafe bakery on 4th:

Breakfast: german chocolate cake
Snack: peanut butter cookies
Lunch: cheesecake brownies
Snack: chocolate chip cookies
Dinner: pecan caramel cake
Dessert: triple chocolate cake

Hmmm...would I be tempting fate if I tried this tomorrow?; ▶ Reply to This
