Eating Locally in Georgetown

Mr. Wonderful and I stopped in Georgetown, TX on our way to Oklahoma (we took the new, delightful toll road. BELIEVE ME: it was worth however much we paid in tolls) for a bite to eat. Originally, we were looking for just food of the fast variety but then I recognized where I was and we found the Monument Cafe once again!!

Suppersister Theresa had told us about this wonderful place when we made our only other trip to Georgetown to accompany our wondermous niece Mandi on a college tour. Anywhoo, Monument, Monument, wherefore art thou Monument?

Besides being exceptionally good food, Mr. Wonderful and I were delighted to know (we are often delighted) that the food is locally grown and organic! We really had no intent of eating completely locally, we just wanted to go to a place that we remembered fondly.

I had a chili burger *oh yes, it was great!* and a mixture of onion strings and french fries. Truly "junk" food but Kobe beef burgers, organic everything, and locally grown onions makes it the best junk food choice we could make!

Mr. Wonderful had a club sandwich and the same mixture of onion strings and french fries. We didn't have room for dessert but some day, we will. All of the desserts sound fantastic!

Theresa can provide a much better review but I have nothing but glowing feelings about Monument. Definitely a place to stop when we make our way through Georgetown.

All this talk on this here blog of hot dogs, chili burgers, and fries is not helping my hot dog cravings!
I am so excited that Hormel is making a veggie chili now! It's much cheaper than Amy's brand.
I'm going to have a me a chili-cheese dog for supper.

=D

I dined at Monument today for lunch! It was great! I had the tomato florentine quiche and fried green tomatoes. (Can you tell I have tomatoes on the brain?)

Booklahver, where did you find the pic of the fella with the seafood bowl?

I found him via Google images but I don't remember what words I used. Probably something like "salad of the gods" or "statute food" or something...
Sorry :(
