FISHING FOR AVOCADOS! –– C.A. BROADSTONE on FILMMAKING, WRITING, MUSIC, and Other Things BCP!

Grapevine, Texas––rated as one of "America's Best Places to Live" by CNNMoney.com 2007––is also home to one of the best places in Texas to get chili!  At the famous TOLBERT'S Restaurant and Chili Parlor.

Mom & Dad and I had a super time on Saturday afternoon, chowing down on chips, salsa, guacamole and chili (the parents shared a burger). I truly do looooooove Tolbert's Original Texas Red, which comes topped with a large Serrano pepper (search the pics). But if that isn't enough to set me on fire––upon request––they supply a small cup of liquid magic that can be poured into the chili that will turn the already steaming bowl into an instant 5-Alarm special!  You know you're in Texas when you're at TOLBERT'S!
