Burgers and Frozen Custard

One of the hard things when moving to an new area is finding new favorite places to eat.  Back in Virginia, we had our favorite Mexican,  Sushi, pizza, etc places.

So far, we enjoy the burgers and frozen custard from Culver's. Wish we could find a frozen yogurt place, but not a big deal right now.  The burgers are pretty good and we like the crinkle cut fries. They make fresh frozen custard in each of the stores.  They have the regular chocolate and vanilla and then a third Flavor of the Day. DD usually gets a free custard with her kid's meal and I usually get one to eat with her. I usually get the chocolate. I did try the orange creamsicle and liked that one.

For pizza, we got a flier in the mail for a place called Topper's. The pizza concoctions looked interesting like Mac and Cheese and Taco. They also have sweet chili hot wings which are pretty good. And they have the garlic butter dipping sauce that a certain chain that we have not been to in a long time carries. We boycott that particular chain.

As for Chinese... we found a place that we won't be going to again. It looked neat and had a fancy sign. But they prided themselves on serving all sorts of Asian cuisine, which can mean a mess. It's nice, we've found, when a place has a small menu because they then can put their time and heart into a meal. So, anyways, I got the fried duck and DH got the pepper steak. I'm not sure if the duck was cooked properly, since I've never really had it, but it was edible. But they butchered the pepper steak.

And we are on the quest for a Mexican place.  We've been told that although there are quite a few restaurants, the best ones are in an area referred to little Mexico or something like that.  We saw a place called Jalepeno Loco. We walked in an the host was a blonde white boy... that was our first sign to turn around... but we decided to stay since everyone needs a job. They bring us salsa and OMG (hello VA folks) there was no white stuff! The chips tasted kind of stale, at first I thought it was because DD was dipping her chips in the salsa, licking off the salsa, and placing the chip back in the bowl. I decided to get a chip from the bottom of the bowl... yeah, they were stale! I ordered nachos with pulled pork for myself and a side of rice for DD. DH tried some sort of sampler. While the pork was good, they sure were skimpy on the chips for the nachos and half of them were burnt. DH said the rice and his dish was not good at all. And since they don't do refills (who doesn't do refills?) we opted for water. This is a place we won't be returning to.
