Pluckers! Great for Game Day!

If you are what you eat then I would definately be a chicken wing.  I can't say that they are ever top of mind when it comes to picking a favorite food but I do seem to consume a copious amount of them.  As a matter a fact, there is a brand of store bought chicken wings froms Pilgrims Pride, that is like my crack.  They are a little on the spicey side and incredibly bad for you, but well worth the clogged arteries and hypertension.

Anyway, back to Pluckers.  Like most wings places, Pluckers appeals to mostly men.  Not because the servers are all women dressed in slutty outfits, so if you are thinking this is another Hooters or Tilted Kilt, it's not.  My server was an attractive young lady with a t-shirt and jeans, and did not exude skank appeal to get better tips.

The menu was pretty simple and typical of most wing places.  You could order as many wings as you could handle with different sauces of varying heat or flavors.  I ordered ten cajun seasoned wings, with a side of fries, and a glass of Firefighters 4, which set me back $16.  Tip included.

I liked this place, not because the food was outstanding.  I liked what I ordered, but I thought this is a great dude place to go watch a game.  There are TV's everywhere with just about every sport going on, except Cricket.

They even have televisions in the mirror in the bathrooms.  Never miss a moment.

All in all, my visit was enjoyable, and if a friend wanted to go here for lunch or dinner, I wouldn't mind.  And with all the televisions, I might have to become a Rangers fan, or root for the Longhorns.

Getting Around the DFW

The first thing you learn about moving to the Dallas/Fort Worth area is that it is big!  The expressway is an inescapable fact of life here and there are highways, interstates, spurs, on ramps, and off ramps running every where.  And they are being added to almost everyday.  The Texas highway budget must be huge because there is construction just about every where, which makes it difficult for my GPS to keep up some times.  Not that I am complaining.  I'm slowly learning how traffic works around here and what is my north and south and east and west.

Picasso's

One of the first places that I visited upon my arrival in the DFW was Picasso's, located in a strip mall in north Dallas.  I don't know what neighborhood.  It will be a long time learning these things.

Picasso's is mostly an Italian restaurant with pizza and pasta dishes, but the menu also offers other items like burgers, fajitas, and tacos.  The atmosphere was very nice and the prices were pretty reasonable.  I ordered the Chicken Picatta, which was simply to die for.  According to the menu, it was chicken lightly breaded and sauteed in a lemon butter caper sauce with spinach, mushrooms and onions over angel hair pasta. That lemony kick was a great compliment to the chicken and onions, and needless to say, there was no need for a to go box.  I can't wait to eat here again.

Stepping Out Into The Unknown

For my first blog entry, I really don't know what to write.  I guess all I can say is that after 23 years of living in Kentucky, it was time to call it quits.  I am thankful for all the experiences that I have had, and even more thankful for all the relationships that I have formed.  Experiences being what they were, I feel, was God's way of pushing me in this direction and has brought me to this point in my life.  I don't really know what God has in store for me, but as I learned this past Sunday at church, to trust the Providor and not the provisions.

This blog will chronicle my experience here in Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.  There will be new places to explore, new people to meet, and as I am a hopeless foodie, new places to eat.  In the coming months, expect me to post my musings on life here, and also reviews on the new places I go to eat, because sometimes, it's all about the food.
