They are so odd, yet highly addictive. They are pretty much puffed Cheetos with a caramel coating, rather than fake cheese powder. There is a bit of a celery aftertaste.
Buc-ees are a TX staple, like Whataburger. Glad to see both making their way up here :-)
Now we need some Pappas as well. Pappas Bros (steakhouse), Pappadeaux (seafood), Pappasito's Cantina (Mexican).
I second the motion on Pappdeaux and Pappaasito's [Reply]

Have you tried Pappas Bros? Damn good steakhouse. It is a bit pricy but so worth it. Bone-in filet is killer, if you are really hungry you can get a tomahawk chop...pretend you're in the Flinstones :-) Excellent sides, fantastic liquor menu (they carry some top shelf Scotch whiskys that go well with steak!). It is upscale, so expect to see a lot of jackets w/o ties, women in dresses, etc. Business casual.
There are two in Houston and one in Dallas. Website [Reply]
Clean bathrooms, the rest of it sucks. Overpriced gift shop and bland ass food.
Got a pulled pork sandwich from there once, and it tasted like straight up steamed un-seasoned meat. No smoke, and didn't even feel like that had any s+p on it. Garbage.
And even with 80 pumps, sometimes you're waiting for a pump. [Reply]

They only have 4 outside of TX. And they are in actual cities. You ain't getting one, ever. But if you are ever in Phoenix, I'll take you there. [Reply]

I'll hold you to that. May even grab you where you pee... [Reply]

Never done breakfast there. I usually pass them right by unless I need to use their restroom. If I'm ever in one again during breakfast, I'll check it out. [Reply]
This probably doesn't matter to anyone but me, but I discovered yesterday that a Shake Shack has opened within walking distance of my house. I had no idea that this was happening. Given everything I've heard about them, I'm going to have to give it a try. [Reply]
