St Louis Religious Bookends

Religion isn’t high on our list of things to check out on the road trip, but when I looked at the map of the Delmar Loop area, I couldn’t help but notice that it was bookended by two questionable religious institutions. Oh wait, questionable is redundant.
We didn’t get pictures of the [...]

Are you smarter than a 19 year old Hooter’s waitress?

Probably not. We met our pal Derek at a Hooters in the middle of nowhere and we discovered that Andrea basically was not only smoking hot jailbait, but could do definite integrals — that’s calculus — and new more about biology as well.

Yum.

Sandwiches Around the Eastern US

We just stopped at the Sub Shop in Columbia, MO on our way to St. Louis, and it got me thinking about the various combinations of bread and meat you can get around the US. So I put together a handy visual guide that might help you on your travels.
For the record, we had [...]

Sub Shop – Columbia, Missouri

There’s not a lot more we can say, except that when you’re pulling off the highway for lunch … always go local. This place totally satisfied … solid subs, great service. I’d highly recommend the Italian.

Missouri Ranch Names?

Well, we were just wondering how these roads got named. Anyone know for sure?

Kansas CIty – Buzzard Beach

Of all the nights for Matt to leave his camera at home, I’ve got to regret this very memorable night.
We walked to the bar closest to our hotel which was the chav-iest place you can imagine — America’s Pub. They patted Matt down and then told us there was a cover. [...]

Wichita, KS โ€“ Old Town

If the 70’s are new to you, come to Wichita, KS!

We walked the entire Old town before settling on Old Chicago.
This picture of our waitress Aimee does not do justice to the talent of midwestern tanning salons … pure orange goodness!

Then we headed down to the Pump House.

There was a cover band playing some solid [...]

Guero’s in Austin, TX

I’ve been to Guero’s a couple times before … I’d have to say it’s probably some of the best tex-mex I’ve ever had … Matt popped his Guero’s cherry — some shots of our food follow.

Have the queso, don’t ask questions. Just eat it fast.

Austin’s Chupacabra

We stumbled into the (la?) Chupacabra for some tex mex and man, had a great meal and a great bartender … fantastic.
Matt had the burrito …

I had the West Texas enchiladas …

Shared the awesome pulled-pork stuffed jalapeno poppers …

And this is Michael cheersing with Fernet … best service we’ve had on the road trip thus [...]

Burning Brown Man #2

We’re simple guys … we’ve got simple needs. BBQ, beer, girls, and … burning shit on camera.
We spent a day up at Buchanan Lake near Tow, TX, trying to get one shot … first there’s a vid of the early part of our setup:

This is a test shot of the scale-model skeleton [...]
