Some things are too cute to pass by.

Greetings!

I am a simple man to claim that a thirty-five-day vacation at Smith Mountain Lake is the best vacation we've ever taken, and we were only 105 miles from home, but it is so. There were so many things to do in almost every direction, but we weren't obligated to do a dang thing unless we felt like it, which meant a lot of naps, reading, talking, writing, and thinking. It was a glorious adventure since we've never done anything like it. Even though I took a large cooler full of Nutrisystem frozen entrees, I brought most of them home because we ate out most of the time, and I developed an opinion of the places we ate multiple times.

Moosie's is by far the best value place to eat and is consistently good as it has been for the twenty-five years we've been going there. Trish Southard makes most everything from scratch, and her friendly staff has always been great. Moosie’s was our go-to lunch spot for our guests, and no one was disappointed. The next great-value place was El Rio's Mexican with super friendly staff and great food as well, and I know little about Mexican cuisine.

The majority of the time we ate at other places closer to where we were staying at Bernard’s Landing and never had a mediocre meal at any of those places. My favorite one was The Blackwater Café on Scruggs Road, and I knew the owners and staff pretty well by the time we came home. I had burgers at all these “joints,” but this place cooked theirs the best with the best roll. Their chef was in the dining room speaking with guests when he had an opportunity Their bread served while you wait is a basket with small biscuits made with heavy cream and flour are delectable and fattening. Every single thing we tried for our dinners was awesomely prepared.

Napoli Cowboy is a busy place serving lunch and dinner with excellent food, particularly their Monday night Prime Rib special, which we enjoyed several times. This place is where the tastes of Italy & Texas collide, and the “Eyetalian” is great as well as the Texan.

The Landing Restaurant at Bernard’s Landing Resort was where I hung out the most because the crazy bartenders kept everyone entertained with their antics, and their service was excellent, plus they remember everything about you and your likes. The French fries here are “pickled,” brined, and are the best I’ve eaten anywhere, with my rotundity further proof. The landing is the most expensive place of all, but not a ripoff, just expensive.

On Friday, my Bride and I took a beautiful trip to Lynchburg, Va and went to The Texas Tavern where no alcohol is served, but the best cheeseburger I’ve ever eaten is. The Cheesy Western has a fried egg on top and topped with their famous relish. I inhaled one and brought another home with a cup of their relish. It’s been over twenty years since we were last there, but it shan’t be another twenty until we return.

In His Grip, thank Goodness,

Landon

CREEKSTONE FARMS NON-GMO ALL NATURAL

Creekstone Farms, Arkansas City, Kansas

I baked one of these recently in a 450 degree oven on a rack with a pat of butter and it was a perfect medium-rare after 20 minutes baking and a 10 minute rest covered with foil. Be sure to take steak out of the refrigerator an hour before and salt and pepper well. Please let me know how this works for you. Everyone is loving these steaks!
