Food

Make way for the new "KFC Fried Chicken Scented" fireplace log.

The chips hit the table and then the hot sauce. Some Mexican restaurants will default to the red sauce and others will give you a choice. Enchiladas are being offered with red or green sauce more frequently.. What if you want both? You call it "Christmas."

I look forward to Christmas for the same reasons you do. See the family, celebrate traditions, and of course, eat the goodies. I've been on the panhandle air waves, a long time and that comes with delicious consequences.

Let's face it Christmas is about food. I know, I know, Christmas is about family and friends, giving and the birth of Jesus, but c'mon, it's about food. We eat a ton of food during this time of year and 1/2 a ton of candy, so it's no surprise that Texas has a popular candy.

Sometimes only pie will do. Your cravings hone in on one specific thing and your life will be unfulfilled until you have it. Not cake. Not cobbler. Pie!

The two biggest fast food burger rivals are McDonald's and Burger King. The King and the Golden Arches have been going at it for years and years. Now Burger King has done something sneaky and is offering 1¢ Whoppers, but the catch is, you have to go to McDonald's and take The Whopper Detour.

Long lines didn't stop Lubbock folks from turning up in droves to eat at the area's first-ever Cheesecake Factory.

We spent Thanksgiving with our oldest son in Austin this year. We did the traditional turkey meal, and of course we scouted out BBQ. For our last night, our son suggested poke-pronounced po-kay. Ok!

Last week, I wrote about the lack of Jack In The Box in Amarillo. We have Sod Poodles. Let's have monster tacos from Jack!

Too often people make plans for their families over the holidays, but forget to plan for their pets.

When it comes to Thanksgiving one of the greatest thing of a Thanksgiving meal is the pie. The pie is the trophy of the meal. No one should have to go without pie on Thanksgiving. That's where you as a wonderful baker comes in to play.

No, seriously. If one begins craving Jack's amazing tacos, one must drive to ABQ, Wichita Falls, or Midland. Or Dallas, or OKC. How did it happen that the panhandle got ignored? Dunno. Abilene had one but it's gone. Lubbock had 4, lost them all, and are getting them back
