Holy Meat!

About a week ago, April had a friend in town from Kansas (where she's from) and that friend wanted to do the whole rodeo/Billy Bob's routine. Well, of course I was in! Any excuse to go to the stockyards and wear my cowboy boots!

Before we went to the rodeo, we tried a new barbecue place across the street from Billy Bob's. We had heard a lot about it, so we gave it a whirl. It's called Cooper's.

I must say, though, that Hard 8 is WAY better. Same concept, but just WAY better food. Oh well - we tried it!

I thought this was a cute touch, though - different 'brands' that were imprinted in the cement of the sidewalk out front!

The outside area of Cooper's was pretty neat, though - live music and you could take your food out there and listen to the music while you ate.

Look at this menu - do you think it's vegetarian friendly?? I think not! The meat was excellent, though. I had the chopped beef sandwich - very good.

April got the chicken - and it was FREAKING HUGE!

Overall, we had a great time there, but I still think Hard 8 is better. So that's where I'm going to continue to take my out-of-town guests!
