The World's Most Powerful Piece of Meat

Today I tried Dickie's BBQ today.  At Dickie's you can choose from eight different types of meat.  I really enjoyed their beef brisket, their polish sausage and their mac and cheese.  And how many fast eating places can you go and have fried okra?
I thought the food was great.  But I have to admit I'm biased when it comes to brisket.  I have to come to believe it is literally the most powerful piece of meat you can eat.  As most people know, brisket is normally slow cooked.  There's a reason for that.  Cows don't have a collar bone.  So more than half of their body is supported by the muscle under their neck, that we know as the brisket.  Cows are big.  That's a lot of muscle.  This is the reason slow cooking is necessary.  The process is needed to let all the sinews and fibers in the muscle break down.  Without that slow cooking process you'd have a really tough piece of meat.
So if you want to prove you're tough like the girl who ate Fredericksburg, pull up a chair and try the most powerful piece of meat at Dickie's BBQ Pit.

Stalking Danny McBride Part 4: TGI Friday's Little Secret

The girl who ate Fredericksburg got one step closer to Danny Mcbride when she spotted his friend James Franco, in a Fredericksburg TGI Friday's.  It was definitely him, despite his assertion that he was not James Franco and in fact was my waiter who was named Chris.  If you want proof, see the picture at the end of this post.

But enough about my future bff's Danny Mcbride and James Franco.  You want the secret, don't you?  Here it is...Unlimited appetizers for only $10 a person.  It's not advertised anywhere in the restaurant or the menu... but I assure you it is true.  Through out the summer you will be able to choose unlimited mozzarella sticks, pot stickers, boneless buffalo wings, green bean fries, loaded potato skins, garlic & basil bruschetta, or Tuscan spinach dip... I recommend you bring six friends so you can try all seven appetizers.  (Each person can only choose one unlimited appetizer.)

I'm the girl who ate Fredericksburg and I had like five orders of dumplings while hanging out with James Franco.  #mylifeisawesome

Chuy's Tex-Mex in Midlothian, Va

I was eating like Elvis today. Chuy's Mexican restaurant is a mixture of classic Mexican and wonderful road side tackiness.  Elvis Presley is a sub-theme of the restaurant.  Taking advantage of that, I ordered the Elvis Green Chile Fried Chicken.  They take that healthy white meat chicken breast and bread it in Lay's potato chips for you.  Then they deep fry it and they drizzle it with green chile sauce and cheddar cheese.  It really locks in that juicy artery clogging goodness.  The service was excellent at this chain restaurant that started in Texas and has since opened some 40 more restaurants in eight states.  Everyone that worked there is friendly.  I must have had half a dozen staff compliment me on my shirt alone.  Grant it I was wearing my "Bazinga" shirt, so that's to be expected.  They offered fun atmosphere and fun food.  Next time I go, I'm going to try a Chicka Chicka Booom Boom or a Big As Yo' Face Burrito.  I must say that the food is chain restaurant quality but I still can't wait till they open a Chuy's near Fredericksburg.
