Texas Eats #1

One thing that Texas is very well known for it it's food! Did you know that Texas has the most restaurants per capita than any other city in the U.S.? It makes sense though because they are everywhere!

Although we are living on a pretty tight medical school budget, both Tyler and I love to go out to dinner, so we do set aside some money to go on dates. We have found two places that we have been super impressed with so far!

We consulted yelp to find the best Thai Restaurant around us, and were led to Thai Noodle. All of the reviews warned that it wasn't much to look at, but that it was a hidden gem so we were excited to try it. It did not disappoint!

We were the only people there on a Saturday night which made us a little worried...until they brought out the food. We ordered the pad thai (our favorite) and it was a huge portion. Normally in a restaurant you pay 10-15 dollars for what we got for 7! It was very authentic, just the right amount of lime and peanuts mixed with rich spices.

If you know me, you know that I like my food spicy. Like, really hot. This restaurant had a rating system from 1-4, with 4 being the most spicy. I ordered the 3, which I have done before and been just fine. This place knows how to spice their food! It was a little much, even for me. The next time we went back, I got a 2. Tyler got the massaman curry the second time around, and loved the creamy coconut flavor! This may look like a dive, but it is a definite must try if you are ever in Euless and love some good Thai food.

The other place we found that we loved is Twisted Root Burger company. You can read about it more here because it was featured on the Food Network! So naturally, being food network junkies, we had to give it a try.

They had the coolest burgers!! Really unique and specialty burgers that I had never heard of before. I tried the "Enough said." It's a burger with aged cheddar, bacon-ranch sauce, and crispy potato chips on top. Ty had the "Sexy Hawaiian," with jalepeno jack cheese, terryaki sauce, pineapple salsa, and prosciutto. When we went back, (how could we not?!) I got the freshman 15, complete with french fries on top, cheddar cheese, an egg and 2 pieces of bacon. I know, disgusting. My dad, the health expert, will probably disown me, but it was oh so good!!

So far, we are loving the food in Texas. Now to find some authentic Texas barbeque!
