Probably will be nothing to see till at least Tuesday night, maybe Wednesday.  We are having dinner at a Pub in Branson Tues (maybe good Fish N Chips), then a Chicken Fried Steak joint at Kendall's in Nobel, OK on Wednesday.  Wont post the average or mundane, unless they are spectacular bad!  Once we get to Pasadena you will get to see a South Pasadena Highlife Cheeseburger & Fried Zucchini, a Topps Chili Cheese fries and a Tommy's Chili Cheeseburger.  Alan aka ZCZ is coming in to join us on that Crawl!  I might even post a Wienerschnitzel Chili Dog and an IN n Out Double Double for those that have never seen one.  And for sure the #27 from Jack n the Box!

Weinerschnitzel's has the best chili cheese fries yet.  Now, there's not one within driving distance for me.   Have a good crawl guys.

I'm looking forward to this thread.  Enjoy the trip!

Some old favorites in that list. Have fun and look forward to updates.

 I am envious. That's some mighty fine dining coming up..

I had to look up Hi-Life Burgers. I don't think I have ever been there. The food looks good.

Tommy's is always a favorite. I used to go the original Tommy's in LA when I was in graduate school at USC. Tommy's actually bought all of our chemistry glassware (beakers, flasks, etc.) when our new chemistry building was built in the 1980's.

All of our glassware had the Tommy's logo silkscreened on them. I should have bought some while I had the chance.

Der Wienerschnitzel (only old guys remember the Der) is definitely a cut below Tommy's. Actually, a large chasm would better describe it. Their chili is like liquid and their hotdogs like rubber. Still, I eat there a lot.

As far as In n Out, well, that's what a hamburger's all about. Plus, contrary to ratings I find on the web, I really like their fries.

If you like good Mexican food, try El Tepeyac Cafe https://www.eltepeyac.cafe/

The Hollenbeck Burrito is a classic. Or you can get the giant Manuel Special.

Folks would line up in the rain to eat there.

There is now one in La Mirada, which is bigger, but lacks the experience. I discovered the new location recently and had some food delivered.

We used to have a Der Wienerschnitzel back hear a few miles from where I lived as a kid.  It closed sometime in the 80s.  I didn't see one again until about 2000-2001 when I was living in Chula Vista.

Been to El Tepeyac a few times when we lived in La. Had the Hollenbeck a few times. I'll be honest I was not as impressed with it as I was with my local South Pasadena Mexican restaurant called Fiesta Grande that lost its lease and is no longer there.

It could have to do with posting using an admin account. Best IT practice is to only use admin privileges when performing actual admin functions.

This assumes that you were using admin since your names both have administrator below them.

It's a possibility.

1st night Golden Corral, some of the Best Sirloin I have had in years...no pictures.

OK, here we go, night 2.  This was Kristin's plate, but I had the Fish n Chips too, I jut had green beans instead of fries...I know, I know!  They were horrible, that artisy-fartsie lets cook they half way bs!

Said it was Pacific Cod, could have fooled me, batter sucked, soggy simply not cooked long enough, and water inside the coating, not a good sign.

Lunch in Pawhuska, OK at the Mercantile Exchange, this is the Pioneer Woman's place from Food Network.  A Cavate that they use Rib-eye for their CFS, Kristin ordered it....but a lifetime top 3.  I had the Short Rib quassidilla, very good but could have used more seasoning for me!






Dinner, Kendall's in Noble, OK.  As far as "traditional" CFS beef goes, the 2nd best I have had in 39 Years!  The kind of Green Beans I was hoping to get last night, cooked and with superb flavor!  Potatoes & gravy great!

[Bentley]

My old buddy Dexter now in a town south of Branson!

[Bentley]

Went through Ponca City...just had to drop in a say hi to Stewart at Cookshack...Unfortunately he was in a Zoom meeting.  I just poked my head around the corner to see him.  I am pretty sure he had no idea who I was!      I told the gal at the front to jut let him know that Bentley from the ole Pellethead days dropped in and maybe he would remember! 

A few shots of the Plant!  I think an FEC 300, 750 and 2 welding stations.  1st time I had ever been there!!

Sadie's in East? Albuquerque, right off I-40.  Kristin's Taco salad, good, 2 cons for me is hot beef with lettuce.  I always make mine with room temperature GB, and we like a Catalina or Country French for dressing!



They had no traditional for me combo plates, so I went fish taco.  Very good, this was good cod!  Sopapilla were so so, to cold by end of meal to be good with the honey!  But I guess for many they are jut like a dinner roll or biscuit and are eaten with meal!
