During my further 3 hours of delay at the Washington Dulles Airport, I succumed to eating a hamburger from the “famous” Five Guys.
Apparently, these are said to be some of the best burgers around, to the point that the girl sitting next to me tells me her boss flies in from New York on his private jet just to get them.
So, I did it…I had a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard and fried onions.
I waited a while, but this would be expected with the hundreds of people on canceled and delayed flights that were trying to get food before all restaurants and shops close in the airport for the night.
I got my burger relatively quickly considering.
It was hot and delicious! You get the flavor of freshly ground beef. Plain and simple…that’s what makes a burger a great burger.
All of the fixins, including sauteed mushrooms, fried onions and all of the usual and regular toppings, are all included for free! Yum! Have it your way…LOL…
My burger came out of the wrapper as a double burger…so, I’m not sure if I got hooked up, or if that’s their plain burger…
It was good…Not my absolute, all-time, fantabulous favorite, but really good, and I would eat one again.
So, if you’re in Terminal A of the Washington Dulles Airport, check out Five Guys burgers!

Okay, you’re at the airport, and you are STARVING…What to do? Find the first restaurant you can that interests you, right?
Well, I picked the Famous Famiglia Pizzeria in Terminal A of the Washington Dulles Airport…
I probably should have had the “famous” pizza, but instead felt like pasta…I got penne with tomato sauce and a garden salad…
Well, the penne with sauce was just that…penne with sauce…it was ok…it filled me up…They did give me a good portion for a small order.
The salad was fresh and had beautiful, large slices of Roma tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, shredded carrot and romaine lettuce. They give you a packaged Italian salad dressing, but the salad was just what I needed.
The next time, if I stop here, I will probably try a piece of pizza or stromboli…probably the stromboli, knowing me…
It was ok…I give it a 3 1/2 stars.

Washington, Dulles Airport - Terminal A:
I am a very picky Chai Latte drinker…as you know from a previous post (William’s Coffee House)…
However, as I was stuck on a delay at the Dulles Airport, I wanted a Chai Latte something fierce.
The only coffee place I saw was the Mayorga Coffee House, and I was still reluctant to try, being so disappointed in the past with subpar chai teas…
Even after all of my questioning, I ordered one, and boy oh boy, was I a happy camper.
It was made with whole milk, and it was creamy, perfectly spicy and delicious.
If ever you are in the Washington Dulles Airport, and are craving your Chai Latte fix, check out the Mayorga coffee House in Terminal A.
You’ll be glad you did!

We experienced the Italian cuisine from a restaurant in Dallas called “Two Guys From Italy”.
As you know, we are Italian food freaks, and love to try new places out. We loved that their motto is “Our English She’s No Good…But Our Food Speak More Better“…LOL…
We had the Lasagna with meat sauce and sauteed mushrooms. I am really picky about my tomato sauce, and this one was A+ in my books…just like homemade…Wonderful flavor. The lasagna itself was fantastic too!
I always love soup, so we tried the Minestrone soup, and let me tell you, it really tasted homemade. Great veggies in it, that even I wouldn’t have expected, but that went very well…like broccoli. The integrity of the minestrone was stellar!
All in all, we were extremely satisfied and happily surprised at how great this little find was. Very reasonable prices (lasagna was $8.45 + $1.45 extra for the mushrooms, and minestrone was $1.45).
Well, the next time you’re in Dallas, and want a nice little authentic Italian place to pop into to eat, check out:
Two Guys From Italy located @: 11637 Webb Chapel Rd., Dallas, TX, (972) 247-6814.

If you’re looking for some amazing Mexican food in Dallas, Texas, you need look no further than the Blue Goose.
From my understanding, they have 3 locations in Dallas, but we have been to the Addison location on Midway Road.
Wow Wow Wow! Try their Beef Brisket tacos…served with fresh cilantro, au jus, Mexican rice and refried beans…I get this EVERY TIME! I keep looking on the menu for something that I would want more and always fall back on these babies!
Kenney, this last time, got a sampler…God Bless him…LOL!
It consisted of a Blue Goose tamale (Wowie…too good!), a Chicken Enchilada with Salsa Verde sauce (OMGoodness) and a tostada (really fresh and simple), served with Mexican rice and refried beans.
Their refried beans alone are worth the trip! Yum! Salsa verde rocks…the best I’ve had!
They also serve some great freshly made salsa with hot corn tortilla chips! Yummy!!!
Best of all, if this wasn’t enough, they have THEE BEST Margaritas I have ever had…EVER! I am a serious Margarita lover, so this is definitely saying a lot! They run $2 Margarita specials from Monday - Friday! Check it out!
We have always been impressed and completely satisfied and satiated when we leave! It is also very reasonably priced!
If you’re craving some serious Mexican, check out the Blue Goose Cantina!

I love Calamari!
So, usually, I love how Olive Garden makes their calamari, but the last 2 times I had it, I felt that the batter was somewhat different.
Also, I think they have changed their creamy aioli-type sauce…it tastes more parmesany or something…I’m not as crazy about this appetizer as I was before…
My husband wasn’t too sure if the recipe had changed or not, and he quite enjoyed the calamari still.
What are your thoughts on the Calamari at the Olive Garden? Is it just me or has the recipe changed?

Okay, Kenney just brought me take-out on his way home from a place called “Seafood Shack” in Dallas.
He’d never been there before, but decided to give it a chance. Kenney actually brought me home 1/2 dozen fresh oysters on the half shell packed in ice. I have never experienced oysters on the half shell for take-out.
They were extremely fresh, not fishy at all, and came with all the fixins, key limes, hot sauce, horseradish and ketchup (not sure who eats ketchup with them though).
The seafood gumbo was okay, a little salty to my taste. The fried catfish was okay too…
However, if ever you are looking to surprise someone and bring home freshly shucked oysters on the 1/2 shell, check out the “Seafood Shack” in Dallas on Webb Chapel, South of I-635.

What is a Margareza?
It’s 1/2 Margarita,
1/2 Cerveza (Mexican word for Beer)
Ingredients:

1/2 margarita…
.
Instructions:
1. Take a frosty beer glass or mug (or large Margarita glass) and moisten the rim with a wedge of lime.
2. Salt the rim with Margarita Salt or Kosher salt. Tap off excess.
3. Pour Mexican beer (like Corona, Dos Equis, Tecate, Modolo) or your favorite beer to make 1/2 of the mug full.
4. Take your already made Margarita and pour that into the beer to make a full mug.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge.
6. Enjoy it at a BBQ or by the Pool!
