Uptown Dallas Food Tour

 
Here's our group we went on the food tour with.  It was a great bunch of people.  There were people from Dallas, Memphis, Pennsylvania, Australia, Russia, and of course, Iowa!  It was a great group with a LOT of great food.  These pictures were taken at the Lebanese restaurant. While we were on the tour, we had to have a name of a famous Texan.  I was Jennifer Garner and Brandon was Willie Nelson.  We also enjoyed the tour with Dr. Phil, Anna Nicole Smith, and George W. Bush to drop a few names....

We walked along some of the McKinney Avenue Trolley tracks and happened to see this really old cart come out of the maintenance shop.  They told us that for every gallon of gas it uses, it also uses a quart of oil! 

This art was along our walk.  It's a tribute to the Texas State Fair and corn dogs that they invented.  No one seemed to agree with us that the Iowa State Fair is really the ONLY state fair that a person needs to go to. 

It was a great walk around the area.  It seemed like we walked a long ways, but they told us that it was somewhere around a mile and a half walk.

Another picture of our group walking the city streets.

This coffee house was also a wine bar and we had some refreshing mimosas here.

A final toast, and El Primo Mexican Restaurant. I was very proud of myself for trying everything even the Chicken and Cheese stuffed Jalapeno.  I knew it would be way too spicy, but if you are going to go on a food tour, it seems like you should at least try everything!
