		<title>Carrollton Location of Cowboy Chicken Opens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A third branch of the local chain Cowboy Chicken opened in Carrollton this week on Hebron Pkwy just east of Midway Rd.  I had read favorable reviews of this chain in the past but haven&#8217;t found the chance to stop in until last night at the new location.  The verdict?  It&#8217;s a more Texan and much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pork, Chicken, Beef, Seafood, and SPAM! (L&#38;L Hawaiian BBQ)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In your typical foodie world, adventurous eating is the equivalent of building your foodie resume.  For carnivorous American foodies, this often means exploring tasty animals/animal parts that are exotic and, well, not white meat chicken.  Growing your dining &#8220;experience&#8221; means embracing an &#8220;I&#8217;ll try anything once&#8221; attitude and watching your dining companions cringe as you consume something right out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pack Your Dirty Underwear Away From Your Peanut Butter!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Travelling foodies beware, not only does the title of this post make perfect hygienic sense (please, I don&#8217;t want to eat anything that has come into close proximity with dirty laundry), the densities of peanut butter and cheese are similar to that of the explosive Semtex, meaning packing these foodie goodies into your checked suitcase will almost always set off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Dudes Winery (San Marcos, Texas)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Needing a break between all the BBQ eating during the Central Texas BBQ pilgrimage tour, the group stopped at Three Dudes Winery in San Marcos for a little tasting.

Found in 2005 by three friends (Terry Alford, Jeff Felderhoff, and Ron Poitiff), Three Dudes Winery&#8217;s theme is all about fun.  What can you expect from a winery whose [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Fun with Panko! (Panko Chicken Tenders and Glazed Carrots)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, I suffer a total foodie breakdown and crave those simple foods of childhood, something that I can eat with my hands that may or may not involve the use of ungodly imitation dairy products.  I took advantage of the panko crumbs I had leftover from my herb crusted salmon and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Essence of Dallas on One Plate (Simon&#8217;s Sushi)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re hooting and hollering along with the live country music at Love &#38; War in Texas, drinking a cold Shiner, chowing down on a Texas-sized chicken fried heart attack, and showing your Yankee visitors a good time.  They&#8217;re embracing that &#8221;don&#8217;t mess with Texas&#8221; attitude and loving it.  You&#8217;re feeling like an accomplished host, but also feeling&#8230; a little guilty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Central Texas BBQ Pilgrimage Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I begin this journey through the heart of Central Texas BBQ, I’m obligated to lay some background. I started loving BBQ as a resident of pork-heavy, Memphis BBQ influenced Arkansas. For the first two years of college in Texas, my exposure to Texas BBQ was limited to dry, under-seasoned brisket and grocery store grade sausage [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soda, All Grown Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It may seem like I&#8217;ve dropped off the face of the earth, but I am still alive (just insanely busy lately).  In fact, I passed that quarter of a century mark last weekend in San Francisco, where I enjoyed a very grown up soda (now that I&#8217;ve achieved this age) at Lulu Petite in the [...]]]></description>
