Written in response to The Daily Post’s Daily Prompt:
Live to Eat
Some people eat to live, while others live to eat. What about you? How far would you travel for the best meal of your life?
I’m a Texan by birth, and even though I haven’t lived in the Lone Star State in well over two decades I still crave a couple of foods that just have no peers anywhere else on the planet.
The first is a chicken fried steak.
While one can order a chicken fried steak outside of Texas there is some undefinable attribute that is missing when this dish is served elsewhere. I am actually capable of making this comfort food, but making good gravy is not my forté.
The other food I must travel to Texas to enjoy is chili Relleños. I’ve had Relleños served a hundred different ways, but in Texas the product is fairly consistent.
I’ve never attempted to make Relleños. Studly Doright doesn’t like them, so it seems a bit wasteful to cook them just for me.
The question posed by the daily prompt was how far I’d need to travel to partake of my favorite foods. Thanks to Google, the answer is just a click away.
In ten hours or less I could be at my middle brother’s home in Houston. That’s totally doable. Start the car.
Peace, People!
Your brother lives too far for me 🙂 If it’s really only for a good meal, our limit would be a 2 hour drive. If you throw in a visit with friends or a nice place to visit, stretch that to maybe three.

That chicken fried steak looks so delicious that I can sink my teeth into it right away. I don’t mind travelling halfway across the globe for that.
