Walton's Restaurant

Walton's is a country fish house, their BBQ and steaks are suppose to be good but we stick with the catfish. They advertise that they have the best hushpuppies in the the south and I'd argee.

They bring you out a basket of hushpuppies before the meal, all you want actually. You'll find 2 bottles of white stuff on the table, one of course to tartar sauce. Get the other one and put it on the puppies, it's some good stuff. A word of warning though, don't ask the waitress what the white stuff is, she'll look at you like you're a dumb ass and tell you "white sauce".

It was a 'fried' day for me. This is a small plate of fillets, plenty after all the hush puppies I'd just eaten.

Old timey drive-in, dive and ice cream. If you want a good-greasey hamburger, milk shake and onion rings, this is the place. It's about 30 minutes east of Florence and right on 72. I dare ya to order a large soft serve cone....

Rocking Chair Restaurant

On the south side of Tuscumbia, AL, the Rocking Chair has a pretty good plate lunch. Think 'Cracker Barrel', maybe not quite as good but half the price. The daily special is $4.99, other plate lunches are $5.99, you can't beat that. Serve your regular country vegetables and 4 or 5 different meats.

Rosie's Cantina

There are 2 loctions in Huntsville, this is the one on Memorial. Real good food, we had the chicken quesadillas (off the lunch menue), should have just split one. Chips & salsa were exellent, a little different than what we're used to. I didn't get the check out a beer but my wife gave the frozen margaritas the thumbs up. We'll be back to try this again.

STEAK (THIN T-BONES)

*Steak (whatever you like, a thin t-bone is one of my favorites)
*Soy Sauce
*Montreal Steak Seasoning
*Pepper
*a thin steak don't need no other salt than what's in the soy sauce and montreal steak seasoning
*Main thing to remember: season to your own taste!!!

FYI   A steak should not be bloody (get a stick and beat the hell outta a cow if that's what you want) and it should not be crunchy on the out side (might as well eat the charcoal out of the grill). The meat, the seasoning and the cooking are what you should taste.   JMO.

Sprinkle your seasonings on the steak, both sides. Marinading a steak shouldn't be soaking it in something, it's adding to the flavor of the meat. Let it sit, covered in the fridg for at least 8 hours.

Let it sit out and reach room temperature before cooking. Make sure the grill is hot, takes 30 minutes or more to let the grill heat up.

Put it on the grill and cover it for 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, turn it over and cover it back up. Cook for 4 more minutes. That's all, leave it alone, if you need to do more then you've screwed it up. That's all there is to it. 8 minutes total, that's all.

Most everybody thinks they can cook a steak, actually most folks know how to screw up a steak. These steaks are not all dried out and tough (overcooked) and not bloody on the inside (raw). The meat on the short side of the T is so tender you don't even need a knife.
