this is how the texans eat.

my family had a little reunion in beaumont texas a couple weeks ago, and the pictures are endless. however its amazing how much we ate while we were there!

lets start with my complimentary breakfast...


oh, already hungary for lunch? how about this place?


no, no. lets keep it classy and go with good 'ol guidos. it HAS to be good if theres a 3 ton crab on it.


some of my earliest memories are of my family sitting in this restaurant. my cousins would come all the way from switzerland to wine and dine at galveston's finest! although my granny, and aunt bobby are no longer with us i sure felt their presence with all of the laughing and off color comments its like they were there! especially since granny still insisted on paying the bill!






i'm so full i couldn't eat another bite! but willy rays is on the way home...






now this my friends is a crawdad. think if it as an extremely large shrimp, southeast texans LOVE this delicacy that you can literally dig up in your own back yard! YUM.


this is the back yard of my babyhood, and what i am pointing out would be the home of a giant crawdad.


so eat up y'all or as my cousins would say... bon appetit!
