Lazy Dog!

So there's this place that I always pass in my local Target shopping center. It's called Lazy Dog Cafe and it's a really low-key, cozy, casual restaurant with a somewhat rustic charm, despite the fact that they've got a bar and decent happy hour and everything. The menu has a decent selection, including quite a drink list (alcoholic drink list).

So last night after some shopping at the mall, Corina and I swung by for a "quick" dinner. I mean, we didn't even bother looking at the full menu, we just looked at the starters and small bites section. And well... starters aren't exactly small either.

Corina's order of the nachos with carne asada chili and all the fixin's (7.95)... look at that cozy fire going on back there.


My order of the blackened chicken quesadilla (9.45) was quite tasty. I particularly loved the melted and crispy cheese on top of the tortilla - in fact, I liked it more than the chicken (which was still tasty) on the inside! And the salsa/guacamole/sour cream they provided was not skimpy at all. Gosh that quesadilla looks delicious right now.

Anyhow, would I recommend this place? Sure! The last time I had gone with the hubster, he had ordered a beer sampler which had, I believe 5 beers (ales) come out on what looked like a wooden painter's palette. They weren't large glasses of beer, but decent enough size... at that point, the hubster couldn't even get through them all. But then again, that was a couple of years ago... let's say his alcoholic consumption/tolerance has increased... exponentially... (but then again, he's more of a lager than an ale person anyway)...

Next time I'll have their Sweet Potato Tater Tots. Doesn't THAT sound delicious???

Out of the Box

There are two things I like about Jack in the Box: their 2 Tacos for a dollar (I don't know what it is about these tacos... but I like 'em), and the fact that I can get hash brown sticks anytime I want.

One day I was in the drive-thru lane getting just that: 2 tacos and an order of hash brown sticks, when I saw an ad for Nacho Tacos (1.99 or something).

What the heck is that, and why the heck does it appeal to me so much?



Naturally, I ordered it (out of curiosity of course), and found something that... I'm not sure if I liked or didn't like. For now, I'll go with "like" (only because I was quite hungry at that time). So basically, their Nacho Tacos come in this little black plastic tray, a bed of shredded lettuce covering the bottom (a definite plus of the green addition to the cheesy fried mess), topped with two of their regular tacos (but only meat-filled) cut into little "nacho chip" sizes, with a whole lot of nacho cheese smothering the top. And a few jalapeno slices to garnish.

I think I would have liked some sour cream, tomatoes and onions to top it.
