Well, almost anyway. I dropped by the other day, you know, to support Jason Boso's latest venture while he recovers from a serious traffic accident. I enjoy his Twisted Root Burger Co. and have looked forward to visiting Cowboy Chow around the corner.
This place has a great feel, and I really dig the western flourishes here and there. So much so that I got up and started taking pictures in the nearly empty (late afternoon) dining room - subtlety be damned. The manager didn't take to kindly to that. :^) I have included a couple of snaps, but will reserve the rest - go see for yourself!
Let's get some chow...
I happen to like this Sweet Watermelon Tea (also available at Twisted Root), and went through a few of these carafes. Also, the Fried Green Tomato Lollipop w/ 3 Cheese Ranch. Fun starter. And that bowl of Ranch... I had some left over which came in handy later.
Next was the Mash Tater Parfait: Briskett, Mash Taters, Cowboy Caviar, Cheddar & Tortilla Strips. Hearty and satisfying. I added the Homemade Potato Chips, and found good use for the rest of that Ranch. When ordering I was encouraged to have them start the baked to order Peanut Butter Cookie - good call.
The space and the food are fun, and my server was warm and hospitable. How was the ornery sheriff that disliked my camera to know that it was I, the benevolent, altruistic and nominally influential bloggert. He was just enforcin' the law of the land. Go grab some lunch, and wish Jason a speedy recovery!
, it was paid for with Cold Hard Cash, and that's that.
I will ensure the manager is beaten.

So, do they have a liquor license? All I ever hear about is the tea.

Brad,
This is off topic of Cowboy Chow so sorry. I knew at some point we would cross paths. A few fellow foodies in town were looking forward to meeting you a few weeks back at Little Sichuan with a fellow food critic. We will plan something soon so you can join us for "crazy good" food as you called it. I have been craving some authentic Vietnamese at Nam Hua in Richardson. Bill Addison did a piece on it recently. I have also been eyeing Bahn Cuon in the same shopping center. Let me know if you would like to join us!
