Heading back to Dallas




Unfortunately, we had such a ridiculous drive to get back to Dallas, we had limited stops along the way.
Another "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" place we stopped was Rivershack Tavern at 3449 River Road in Jefferson. As before, the food was good (again my favorite is still Surrey Cafe).
The next morning we knew the car was due back by noon. So, of course, we tried to squeeze one more thing in prior to returning the car. We stopped at the Twisted Root Burgers place at 2615 Commerce Street in Dallas (another "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives"). This place actually opens up at 11:00 and I figured we will grab the food and go...of course, Terrell is having a minor coronary that we will be late with the car (she was o.k. however, for stopping earlier at an antique place :). We got in line at the counter to order and turned around...the line was already to the door.
The service was quick (they use children's books characters to call you up for your order...I was "Little Red Riding Hood" and the guy sang to me :)...the mushroom burger was fantastic. I ate pretty quickly since we were in our time crunch.
Incredibly, we got the car back with about 15 minutes to spare...and actually ended up getting on a flight back to Phoenix through Las Vegas. Terrell decided to head home to Fresno out of Las Vegas.
For a whirlwind tour of New Orleans, we packed a lot in...Carly felt like the only thing she missed was getting to see a plantation.
