I set my alarm for an early start so that I can take advantage of the hot breakfast but I am knackered so sleep through until about 930am. Once we have checked out, we start the morning off with a subway. I go for a 6inch Italian BMT on cheddar and jalopeno bread. Pretty standard but meat tastes fresher here and there is more of a selection of cheeses available - 6/10
Cash gets a foot long Italian Breakfast BMT, which has an added omelette, on cheddar and jalapeno bread.
We are now on our way to Dallas. It's a 3 hour trip so much less than yday's and doesn't feel that bad.
Half way in, Cash spots a billboard sign advertising Fried Pie and his eyes glisten over. He has recently seen a TV show that features this place and so we make a detour to the Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pie - we get four: 3 for Cash (one for free) and 1 for me. The sweet ones are cold already but they make the savoury ones fresh:
Cherry pie.
Polish sausage, potato and cheese pie
Blackberry pie
Pecan and cream pie
We are still in the process of eating them so scores will be given later on. It is fatty, tasty, salty and sweet but I can feel my arteries clogging up as I bite into it!
We enter Texas and it a heat-filled 100F but heavily overcast. Those of you with hair prone to curling or waving, spare a thought for my long locks! We check in and the roomn is lovely and great value for money. I have a long shower and condition the hell out of my hair. Cash heads out in search of a barber's. At 530pm, they have free drinks and snacks in the lobby - I hope it's alcoholic as I've got another craving for a Bourbon on the rocks.
Thanks Nicole and Martin for the 'eat your way across America' book - it looks like there are loads of places in Dallas. There is something called Lamb Fries, which are basically fried lamb bollocks. I kinda want to try them and I kinda want to vom in my mouth at the thought of doing it...we'll see.
More on Dallas later...
