Day #12

Love eating in funky places!

It used to be years ago that I loved to go to fancy restaurants but anymore, the glitz has tarnished.
Yes... I love to know there is a chef and his staff caring about preparing innovative food but quite frankly,
the cost of the experience is greater than the experience itself, and I am not one to brag about where I have eaten or where I have been seen.

I love to cook and can prepare good food at home for a fraction of the cost.
And there is nothing worse than spending big bucks and coming home hungry or dissatisfied with the meal.

So... I enjoy a local funky place or a mom-and-pop place to grab a bite to eat with friends.
The Capture Dallas gang met up at the Twisted Root for lunch and had a marvelous time.
I have eaten their quirky burger combinations on previous occasions
but since I am trying so hard to eat vegetarian, I got their black bean burger and must say, it was delicious!
I never missed the meat.
And it didn't cost me an arm-and-a-leg!

You're so right about cooking at home - you can eat the very best at a fraction of the cost.
Looks a great place.

Actually Mieke... none of the Capture Dallas gang are pictured here. I took this as we sat at our table and everyone here is a stranger but definitely added to the ambience!

a great picture Fay, now I'm guessing who your the members of your gang are: the two gentlemen

This does look funky and cool!! I'd rather eat at a couple of cafes than at a big flash restaurant

Some people are foodies. We all have our passions.

This photo is so magical right down to the sparkle in that guy's phone.
HD? Looks like a comfortable place to relax.

I love Mom and Pop places, too. Yup, more often than not, I find I can make something better than what I have in a restaurant, but it's so nice to let someone else do the work every once and a while. This place looks like one I would like - certainly for photo ops!

This certainly looks like a cool place.
