Old Jody's

Its a local place. While I would love local to include organic and local produce (there is in fact one place like this in Temple, but I will talk about that one some other time), this particular jewel is all southern fare. And its tasty! Have you ever seen Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives on the Food Network. I dont know if this place has been on there or not, but it should be.

We heard about Old Jody's from Drew's cousin who lives near Temple. They serve hamburgers, chicken fingers, chicken fried steak, fries, onion rings, and fried sweet things that you usually can only find at the Texas state fair. Like fried Oreos, cheesecake, ice cream, and Nutterbutters. Oh my!

The decor is about what you would expect for a place like this. Its not high-end or super clean, but its quaint, comforting, and a salute to Western culture. I like it.

Drew and I went a while back, before I departed for Recweek (say mid-May), but I am just getting the pictures off my phone now. I think we went to celebrate the end of Drew's family medicine rotation. Drew makes the burger he ate look really tasty. :)

Are there any indulgent dives that you love in your neighborhood?
