Back from Fat Boy Haven

Ahh! I just returned from a trip to Nacogdoches, TX - the all-inclusive founding location of the Fat Guys Club and headquarters of the Fat Guy eateries delux. If there's one thing every Fat Guy has to indulge in, it's the onion rings from Clear Springs Seafood Restaurant. Poor Justin and Sara, they were so close, yet not close enough to indulge in these delights. I guess they needed Andy to navigate for them... Meanwhile, Justin has sent us a Christmas ornament of the Cracker Barrel, so Stacey and I had fun taunting them with pics of the eateries on the camera phone.

To those of you who are Fat Guy ignorant - the Fat Guys Haven of Nacogdoches has some of the best food for the gang and it does it without a Cracker Barrel. On top of the seafood and onion rings at Clear Springs, I was fortunate enough to dine at La Carreta (a favorite of the group), Butcher Boys (something like a meat market and restaurant in one), The BBQ House (a Texas style BBQ eatery), the Cotton Patch (kinda like a local version of Cracker Barrel with a little more upscale feel), and San Miguel (another Mexican eatery in town). We even cheated at chowed down at On The Border in Tyler. I've eaten so much Mexican food that I feel like I'm swimming in salsa. None of this even counts the family's cooking which is another story of indulgence within itself.

Needless to say, with that good eating, I need to jump on that treadmill for a long time. Naaah, that wouldn't be much of a Fat Guy! The question is: "How much do those big and tall jeans cost???"
