My first taste of Texas BBQ and I'm loving it. Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q is a food by the pound BBQ chain. They even have a gas station attached to it so both you and your ride can leave with a full tummy. My favorite is their moist brisket and sausage link. They also got yummy desserts along with old fashion sweet tea. Love their casual dining atmosphere with all the picnic tables and self serve station. No need for fancy plates, just rip yourself a piece of wax paper and dig in.

Making my own pulled pork sandwich, yummy.


The Meal:
1/2 lb Brisket (moist)
1/2 lb Pulled Pork
1/2 Sausage Link
Corn on the Cob
Sweet Tea
Soda
4 slides of bread (free)

Total: $21.18

Note: Don't forget to take home a bottle of their awesome spicy BBQ sauce. Their not so spicy sauce is called Rudy's sissy sauce, haha :p

Late night dinner at the Shuseki Japanese Restaurant. This is not your normal sushi joint although they do have a sushi bar with very good sushi. They offer homestyle japanese cooking like udon and grilled fish. In fact, they have a full ramen noodles menu. One of the best in town. Big menu, good sake sellection and very friendly service. This is one of the my favorite restaurants in town.
