Travelin Man
| I have tomorrow off from work, giving me a three day weekend. Back a couple of months ago when I requested the day off, I had planned to go to Huntsville for a couple of hockey games. I love Huntsville (the city) and their fans are actually very knowledgable, though a bit obnoxious on occasion. Their local university, UAH, has a very good college team, so they get plenty of hockey up there. I have decided, though, to pass up the hockey in favor of something a bit more tasty. I have decided once and for all that I will make the trip to Chattanooga to try out this new Krystal I have read about on the Krystal Blog. I figured it would be a quick up and back trip until I started to see what was on the menu. I don't think I could eat that much at one sitting, so my trip has turned into an overnight. I plan to head up tomorrow afternoon and have dinner there. I have my room hotel reserved down the road so the next morning, bright and early I can hop back over for the new breakfast items. I am hopefully can get one last stop in prior to heading back home. I think between a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner, I can work my way thru the menu. I will of course skip anything I can get here in Macon. I emailed Tiffany to see if she could give me any insight on what's on the menu and here is her reply: Rockslides - Ice cream with Reeses, Oreo or SnickersShe also said this wasn't even close to the full assortment. So you see I have my work cut out for me! I guess it goes without saying I will have my camera and will photograph EVERYTHING. A few items will likely go untested as I do not care for reubens or corned beef. (Corned ham, yes. But we've already been over that.) I was at Krystal tonight, obviously. (Saucy Chik combo, upsized Coke, in case you were wondering) Chef and Sonya were there and we were talking of the new stuff on the menu. Sonya already knew about the MilkQuakes. They got a flyer about them a while back. She said they get TONS of people who come in asking for milkshakes, so she cant WAIT to get them in. Chef on the other hand was asking me if he could go with me to Chattanooga. He wants to see this cool new Krystal. Sadly, he's got a shift to work tomorrow. I did promise to bring my pictures by next Thursday for him and Sonya to see. While the main purpose of my trip is to visit the new Krystal, that isnt ALL I plan to do, of course. There's plenty of stuff in Chattanooga I have yet to see. I just dont yet know what I will have time for, so I am playing it by ear. I am once again getting way behind in my posts, I have a rather large backlog I need to address. I have a few recipes waiting in the wings. I have one big one I am trying to work on, but I have been having serious problems finding ground veal here in Macon. Apparently veal isn't a big seller around here. Tomorrow before I leave I should be able to post a recap of my Superbowl weekend. Here's a preview: I saw a total of 5 minutes of the game and 2 commercials. I also saw a lot of food, especially beef and ribs. It could all be summed up in three words: Dee Lish Us |
