| - You're not likely to believe me - others didn't - but I spent a whole day pining, searching for a what they call a "fancy" pulled pork sandwich -- pulled pork with coleslaw. COLESLAW!!! Sheesh! Even Costco has a decent fancy pulled pork sandwich...WITH COLE SLAW!
I must've checked Yelp all day long, for total of at least an hour or more to find the best prospect. Sort of why Yelp is valuable, right? Honey Bear was my 1st choice but closed too early. Next up?
Texas Roadhouse.
I got there, ordered a beer...find out, they no longer serve cole slaw. Wait, what? No longer slaw. Ok. No, not ok. A mess. Hard to justify to you that my meal was now ruined. But it was.
That was a week ago. Last night, went back for a steak salad. Looked good on the Denny's-like picture-menu. Ah...
First up: rolls and butter. Ugh. If you like these rolls and butter, I'll bet you think those Starbucks frappucino-crap drinks are still coffee. They are not. This bread is so sweet...sweet like Hawaiian Kings which is waaaay too sweet for me.
Not since I last ate BBQ at a TGIFridays, RIP, have I eaten anything that sweet. Certainly not in a bar, that wasn't dessert. Cannot get that horrible sweet out of my mind.
The steak salad was a 6/10. Inferior, cheap cut of meat. flank not properly cooked? Italian dressing waaaaaaaay too sweet. Outback same steak salad 8/10 -- at least. And not too sweet.
Listen, the place was packed. I'm probably the only one complaining. But if you want to get a cavity from just watching people eat, go to Texas Roadhouse. I'll be back in someone else's lifetime. Horrible food, sweetened beyond need or belief.
