Lunch, Anybody?

[jamespowers]

Truck fries......there's a taco truck that makes the rounds downtown that I catch up with from time to time. Truck fries are like a plate of loaded nachos, only they load everything on top of a big pile of French fries instead of chips. Mmmmm.

They were out of orange flavor Jarritos, so I tried a grapefruit flavor instead (it was all they had). Must remember not to do that again.

Grapefruit?! :faint:

Grapefruit?! :faint:

It didn't make me faint, but it sure didn't taste very good. I don't think even vodka could've helped it out.

Grapefruit?! :faint:

Growing up, a friend's mom used to make broiled grapefruit - she would sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of a cut-in-half grapefruit then toast it in the oven 'till it caramelized. It was pretty good (and nothing that involved was going with grapefruits by my not-much-for-cooking mom- sliced in half was the extent her prep), but even as a kid just sitting at a table waiting for it to finish - it seemed like a lot of work for an only okay result.

Grapefruit is a lie from the very beginning. The name grapefruit sucks you in and you think: grapes are good so grapefruit must be good----not. It just sucks.

You don't like greyhounds?

You don't like greyhounds?

Indeed I do. I like them about 50% vodka, 50% grapefruit juice, NO% fizzy sweetened water.
The grapefruit flavored Jarritos tasted sort of like Sprite (which pretty much sucks to begin with) that had gone bad.

Sprite doesn't taste like grapefruit to me. That would certainly ruin the taste of Sprite. :eeek:

A leftover BBQ burger from dinner last night.

 

[dh66]

A jalapeño burger (big, hand made burger topped with sliced fresh peppers and queso dip) and a couple of glasses of sweet tea from a joint downtown called G-dawgs. I'm pretty sure the G is for Ghetto but the food is sure good.

I'll trade locations with you, I'm in downtown Bessemer.

Where the G is definately for ghetto. [emoji14]

Bob Sykes out there used to make some good bbq, but I haven't had it in years.

Bob Sykes is ok, never cared much for their sauce.
One of my guys wanted to eat at Bright Star. I told him only if he was paying.

No doubt. $$$$$$$

My mom's parents lived over in that part of town when I was growing up. Had many a Sunday dinner at the Bright Star but it's been probably 30 years since I was there last. Honestly, I'm amazed it's still around.
