Connie and I took a ride to check out a restaurant on Texas 21 near the State Line. It is called "Big Momma's and it is in a big white building on the right before the old Bryce's restaurant. It is next to a gas station /conveyance store. They are open Thursday thru Sunday . It is a great place to eat and the people are terrific too. Last week I only had 2 pounds of crawfish because I goofed and inhaled deeply when sucking out the head and got a large blast of spices that caused me to choke and hack and gag and cough and woke everyone up in the building. I made it to the bathroom and was quieter but everyone was still alarmed. I finished eating and all was well. Today we went back and I ate 5 pounds of crawfish, 5 potato's, 1 ear of corn and two cups of coffee. Connie like their shrimp on a skewer and baked potato and different sides. We are really glad we found this place because it is a pretty drive and superior food on the menu but while the crawfish are in I am eating that then I'll move on to other things.
We also went by and stopped at Hemphill BBQ on the cut over road out of Hemphill. Their BBQ is fantastic and the sauce is unbeatable, it compliments the BBQ. I brought home a pound of brisket and half a chicken that made us two meals last week. If you live within 50 miles it is well worth the trip for a Friday or Saturday drive but the hours on Sunday is 11AM-3PM so take a ride and enjoy your meal. Ferdi
