There is a stark contrast between a visit at my parent's and a visit with Brent's dad. I can't say that I prefer one to the other but I can definitely say that I'm glad both incorporate good food, whether it's made in my mom's kitchen or served to us at the limitless options of restaurants in downtown Dallas where his dad lives.
We got iced/snowed in while we were in Granbury, Christmas Eve so we headed up to Dallas on Christmas morning after the ice had melted a bit. It was crazy to see all the cars that had slid off the side of the road on our drive. It was a literal car graveyard and I hoped that everyone made it okay, eventually.
We arrived in Dallas in time for brunch and at at BuzzBrew's.

I had the veggie sausage breakfast taco. It was pretty good but next time I might try something else. I am always amazed though that every time we visit his dad we always go to a new restaurant and it is almost always within a mile of his house. The possibilities in Dallas are just endless! If I lived there I fear my waistline would me much larger.
For dinner we went to a little Irish Pub and I'm kicking myself because I can't find my notes. Grrr. Anyways, I had my first Chimay and surprisingly I liked it. I've always considered anything darker than the color of a Dos Equis to be too serious of a beer for me.. I guess I'm growing up. Now I can add Chimay and my forever favorite, Fireman's Four. (Fireman's Four is Texas local so you know I'm all over that!)
I had their lentil soup and a salad and it was delish!
