I enjoy it. ESpECIALLY when someone who thought they were all that falls off the Top 50 list. I happened to be in Lubbock the week it came out last time and was first person in line at Evie Maes when they opened up for first time since the list came out and they hit the Top 10. . Was pretty cool. The owners dad was taking my picture as I went through the line and he was beaming with pride. Their food was great.
Remember when Howard Stern had a call out to all the Tiger Woods Mistresses and Ashley Madison chipped in I think $10,000 each to come on air and participate in a dating game type bit.
Nothing. We just had to get out of the house. Beautiful day. We ate bbq, went to Fredericksburg and grabbed some backyard stuff at one of the shops on Main St, met up with some friends (who told us about Doss originally) and then drank beers at Alstadt Brewery.
We road tripped it to Doss,TX yesterday (outside Fredericksburg) and at at Doss General Store/ Los Muerto BBQ. (The guy at Los Muerto in Katy is helping them with their Q). They’ve only been open a month or so. Brisket was top notch. They nailed tenderness and plenty of flavor. Barbacoa was top notch. I love Barbacoa. The wife liked her pulled pork sandwich ( I didn’t try it ) The ribs were good (not OMG great) my issue was they serve it drowning with sauce on top. Ask for sauce on side of you go. We started with the Southwest egg rolls. They are huge and full of flavor. All the sides we had were on point and plenty of TLC went into them. They have some kinks to workout as far as their service (little slow) and process but overall the food was very good.
If you want, you can go to Royers Round Top Cafe Facebook page and click on videos and scroll down to May 2020 and there there is a video of Jamie Lynn making them. I took the recipe from that video. I was worried that 12 oz of raw grits wouldn't be enough for us and it ended up being enough for 8-10 people easy. There is a fuck ton of cheese in these.
Probably going to do a seared ribeye over them next time.
Royers Round Top Café Cheesy Grits
Boil 4 ½ cups water with 1 stick of butter
Add ½ tsp cayenne & ½ tsp paprika
Add 2 T pickled jalapeno diced
Add 2 T chopped garlic & 1 T Salt
Stir and bring to boil.
Add Quaker Quick 5 min grits - 12 oz (half the container) - add in while boiling
Whisk whisk whisk
Once all water is absorbed
Turn flame off and add eggs ½ cup eggs (2 eggs?) and whisk some more so it doesn’t scramble
4 oz cream cheese – break into pieces and whisk in
Turn flame back on low
2 cups water - add in water as you start to add the cheeses to make it easier to stir.
1 lb Pepper jack -add in and stir and add some water (we grated ours)
2 cups heavy whipping cream add in with some of the cheese as well.
3/ 4 lb American cheese (grated) stir in and add cream as needed to make it easier to stir
Keep stirring until all cheese is melted.
It will thicken up as it cools off.
*You can make ahead of time and reheat as you mix in a little milk or cream as you stir.
Season shrimp well with Lemon Pepper and grill with some Dill Garlic shallot Butter.
Hit it with a dash of Tony's after you plate it.
Jalapeño Cheesy Grits and Grilled shrimp (Dill garlic shallot butter) Straight off the Royers Round Top recipe. That’s the wife’s pretty plate. Mine was just piled high with shrimp and a criminal amount of grits.
