In England you usually go to the pub after Mass or have a delicious Sunday roast, maybe both. Here in North Central Texas people typically go for lunch at some local eatery. And that's fine except that they're mostly not so good.
Then there's Olaf's in Clifton, which is good. So when the MC said "climb in the rig, we're going to Olaf's," I said yes, and off we went.
Clifton's a well put together little town with a small movie theater, hospital, excellent feed store, antique shops, a good little western store, and restaurants. It's also the Norwegian capital of Texas, which I didn't know until today.
Olaf's is part of this and you get to it by walking through an antiques operation. Strange, I know, but worth it because the food's great, the atmosphere's relaxed and everything's good. I had Eggs Benedict, which was delicious, and a Bloody Mary, also delicious.
What a lot of fun. Thanks, MC, for the exeat, and if you get the chance, check out Clifton. Well worth the visit.
God bless,
LSP
I was married to a first generation Norwegian, "Ya sure yabetcha". If you are in an authentic Norwegian home or restaurant, skip the lutefisk.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute place. Glad your breakfast was yummy. I love eggs benedict (and bloody mary's too)
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to do that, WSF, and I think you'd like Clifton, though it's a little "artsy"...
ReplyDeleteSo delicious, Adrienne, and I hardly ever eat out so it made a nice change.
ReplyDeleteBloody marys are great, maybe I need moar of them...
Love it when you post stuff like this. Every year, we travel from Colorado to visit friends in Hico and it's fun to have some suggestions on places to explore.
