Yep, we showed up in Warrington like eager beavers, but the vendors were still setting up their tents! Not late to the party this time; just a few days early.
... oh, well - there's always ROYER's Rountop Cafe!
FYI: on the outside chance that someone out there hasn't heard about Royer's Roundtop Cafe, let me bring you up to speed:
-
simply the best 'country bistro' in Texas (pop. 84)
-
home of Bud the Pie Man and his killer pies
-
voted 'one of the places you must visit before you die'
-
featured on: Food Network and the Texas Country Reporter,
-
featured in: Bon Appetite, Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Austin American Statesman, Texas Monthly
-
worth the trip just to see Bud hold court and listen to his 'Budisms
-
wonderful family business with wonderful & creative people
-
my favorite place to eat
Today we had the cafe's BLT. To call it a "BLT" is a disservice to this sandwich. Grilled shrimp, thick bacon, some great sweet & spicy sauce, red onions, and lettuce on a long bread roll. 2DIE4
For dessert, we had hunks of pecan pie, buttermilk pie, and apple pie with crumbly granola topping - all a la mode of course, (btw, it is more expensive without the ice cream) l
Also, want to mention a really cute tent we saw called "Sweet Peas". She is out of Athens, Texas and carries all the best to feather your nest.
A few treasures we did score!
