I had a similar experience yesterday, peps1. I stopped in for breakfast (10:30am) and ordered the 2 egg breakfast - over medium eggs and bacon. The bacon tasted like it was deep fried and not in a good way. It was over cooked with the predominate flavor being grease - hiding it's former bacon-y goodness. The eggs were extremely overcooked. Burnt around the edges, the yolks were completely dry and solid. With 5 other customers in the restaurant there was no need to turn the burners on high and cook it a searing pan! This was no steak! When i asked if I could switch to toast instead of a biscuit I was told that it would be an upcharge. I stuck with the biscuit and it was passable. When it was all said and done - I ate the bacon, half a biscuit and one egg then pushed the plate away in disgust. Will i be back - probably not. Hey Counter cafe - if you are going to serve breakfast all day it would do you good to perfect it - I offer you a quote from Pierre Marco White "A perfectly cooked fried egg is quite beautiful. Apply the cook's brain and visualize that fried egg on the plate. Do you want it to be burned around the edges? Do you want to see the craters on the egg white? Should the yolk look as though you need a hammer to break into it? The answer to all these questions should be, no. Yet the majority of people still crack an egg and drop it into searingly hot oil or fat and continue to cook it on a high heat. You need to insert earplugs to reduce the horrific volume of the sizzle." Amen Marco! |

The camping department of Academy stocks Earl Campbell's Famous Sauce. However, they are discontinuing it and the sauce is now on clearance. Run down to the William Cannon location - I was told there was two bottles left. |

Who makes the best coconut cream pie in town? If you feel like a drive, head to San Antonio and have a fine slice of pie at DeWese's Tip Top Cafe. Their coconut meringue pie is fantastic. Standing at 4-5" tall with meringue that is as light as a cloud, this is my favorite coconut pie to date. I recommend sitting at the lunch counter where you can’t help but make friends with the staff and other regulars. One time I split a slice of peanut butter pie (heavenly, as well) with a wonderful 85 year old woman who recounted stories San Antonio’s past. |

I had noticed and commented to friends that Blue Bell's ice cream seemed 'icy' almost like 'diet' ice cream. I wondered if it was a change in the cream/milk ratio, but HFCS could be the culprit |
