Tim's Man Vs. Food Pilgrimage: San Antonio with the Iversons

First Stop: LuLu's. Home of the 3 pound Cinnamon Roll, Wade and I nearly consumed the entire thing (bought 2), but thought it would be fun to throw the rest at Red Squirrels 4 stories below, you did that to, right Wade?

Second Stop: Chunky's. Home of the 4 Horseman ($21.00) Burger, made with Ghost chiles, and other crazy hot spices that only 7 people have ever been able to eat. Adam Richman did it on TV (4th ever) and threw the table in celebration/anger. Wade wanted to do it...maybe next time man (I believe in him). No pics from us, but they had incredibly amazing food for amazing prices. They get my Pick of the Pack...or something more clever that doesn't sound lame. Go to Chunky's...but don't let the name fool you, every 4 pound burger is topped with lots of veggies (smothered in greatness).


Third Stop: Big Lou's. Home, nay, resting Place of pizza ingredients. They have a 42 inch pizza that takes two employees to carry out to tables. Each party seemed to be 10 or more people. We decided to go for a cheaper, albeit massive 20 inch, whilst enjoying the environment of crazy obese people, and nice families from the area. Pizza was delicious by the way, the employees need some work. I decided to tell one waiter that we're here to see the pizza, not you (she didn't take it well).




 
Oh, ya, we also visited the Alamo-a very sobering experience that shaped Texas (and America) the way we know it today. It was special to be in that building, and neat to see the markings of men during their possible last moments, and also fun to connect to that part of history. In lighter news, I made an offer on Davy Crockett's Bear Knife, they made me leave...105 degree days made it difficult to do other things, but we had a blast swimming, eating, playing, and stealing hotel pens.
We also rode the Riverwalk Gondola style...pretty fun and interesting. Did you know 13,000 pounds of glass were used in a hotel? Who knew, I didn't know what to do with all that knowledge, but when my next qualifying exams are up, I'll be sure to recall that stuff.
