I don’t know why no one told me about Jim’s Diner.
\n
\nIt’s a chain out of San Antonio, and it’s open 24hrs. During the days it’s heavy on the senior citizens, and during the late nights it’s heavy on the cops.<\/p>\n

I ordered the mini-burgers and onion rings.
\n
\nAlthough they look like crappy NewCastle sliders, the mini-burgers actually have double-meat<\/span> and they’re topped with thousand island dressing. The onion rings were specifically recommended to me. The onions are sliced as thinly as physically possible, so what you end up with is a side dish that’s about 80% grease and batter.<\/p>\n

I’ve been experimenting, trying to reproduce the green, creamy salsa of a taco cart, but I’ve found only modest success.
\n
\nContaining an entire bunch of cilantro, peppers, tomatillos, lemon, and spinach, this salsa verde tastes okay, but it doesn’t taste taco cart okay.<\/p>\n

Here’s some spicy Indian snack balls, backlit so you can appreciate their grease content:

There are two world-class culinary traditions that have come out of Wisconsin. One is Ed Gein, the other is Culvers.
\n
\n
\nBecause it’s lent, the Culvers here in Austin is serving walleye, the consensus most delicious freshwater fish in the world.
\n
\nHere it is battered and deep-fried:
\n
\nWalleye tastes like catfish, if catfish wasn’t a disgusting wad of filth.<\/p>\n

Of course I ordered the cheese curds as a side, which were supremely disappointing. They were served almost cold. Plus I prefer the cheddar variety over the mozzarella.
\n
\nAt least they came with ranch dressing, the only proper way to eat cheese curds.
\n
\nIn case I wasn’t stuffed enough, I also ordered the frozen custard, which is better than icecream. Don’t ask me how or why, it’s just better, okay?
\n
\nThe creamy white stuff is marshmellow cream, which they keep in a pitcher and pour it over icecream as it’s needed.<\/p>\n

If you need to know the Culver’s flavor of the day on a minute-by-minute basis, you can download the flavor of the day widget<\/a> from the Culver’s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
