Sugar coma here we come!

As promised, this morning Derek and I took the boys to the next restaurant on their Adam Richman, Man V Food list. Lulu's Bakery and Cafe in San Antonio Texas.

They wanted only 1 thing. The giant 3 1/2 lb. cinnamon roll.
This is going to be their post but I'll get my part out of the way real quick first.
The cinnamon roll, featured on Adam Richman's San Antonio show. Lulu's is known for their giant cinnamon rolls but also for their Chicken fried steak. It's also huge. some people at the table next to us got one. it was darn near hanging off the huge plate it's served on. I did resist the urge to be the crazy food blogger and ask them if I could take a picture of their breakfast. I guess it was bad enough that I was snapping pictures of my kid's food.
Adam was all over the menu.
Apparently when Adam was there he consumed an entire cinnamon roll and the police chief (a full sized chicken friend steak topped with queso) I honestly don't know how he did it.
That cinnamon roll was daunting enough, then to eat an entire CFS, topped with queso.

So the boys ordered the cinnamon roll, Derek and I ordered off the menu. His breakfast consisted of 2 sausage patties a big helping of scrambled eggs, potatoes and 4 slices of toast, all that for less than $5. I got the migas breakfast which was really good. I gotta say the refried beans were really tasty, some of the best I have had. They brought Derek a HUGE glass of OJ and I had coffee. Ok, the coffee sucked. It was pretty weak.

The place was PACKED full of people. It's a seat yourself kind of res truant. The waitress let the boys pick their cinnamon roll (we only got 1 for the 2 of them. We are not stupid) then she heated it up and brought it out to them. I'll let them add their commentary now...

Alec: We looked and picked the one with the most frosting on it. The frosting is the best part.
Cole: Yeah, it was AWESOME!

Alec: I was surprised that it was really THAT big.

Alec: It took her a while to heat it up but it was totally worth it.
Cole: I couldn't wait to try it!!!

(Mom: Dad had to help cut it)


mmmmm.....







Cole: Look at that cross section! It's full of gooey goodness!
Alec: It was really good. We couldn't finish the entire thing. It was so much. We have it at home now.
Mom: It will be your breakfast tomorrow. :)

The cinnamon roll was only $5.99, a decent price for the size of it.

We have another MVF outing planned. Check back to see where Alec & Cole go next!

My kid's favorite...

My kids don't watch tv, pretty much at all during the week when school is in session. My husband and I are strict on that. They can watch tv on the weekends only if they are caught up on school work. With our ADD child, it just makes managing it easier.
When they get to watch tv on the weekend they don't watch cartoons. They tend to gravitate more towards the military channel, the discovery channels and the travel channel. Their absolute FAVORITE show, Man V Food. They love to watch Bourdain, and Zimmern's shows but Adam Richman is their favorite.
Yesterday the Bear had a football game in Hutto, which is north east of Austin. It was a LOVELY rainy day (yes, the little kids STILL play if it is raining, and it was POURING). We decided to treat the kids on the way to breakfast, somewhere they have been asking about ever since they saw the MVF Austin episode. Round Rock Donuts for the Big Texas donut.

It's HUGE. (as you can see)
They were so excited. Seriously giddy as we waited in line. The line which snaked 3 times inside the store then went out the door and almost around the building. They also have a drive thru which on this day, the cars were lined up out the parking lot and down the street and almost around the corner.

Round Rock Donuts has Krispy Kreme beat 100 ways from Sunday. It was amazing, light, airy and just plain yummy. The Big Texas Donut is the equivalent of about a dozen regular donuts. Costs only $5.50 and comes in regular glazed and chocolate glazed (which is what we got)

The two of them ate the whole thing pretty much all by themselves. Derek and I broke off a couple small pieces, but they just about inhaled it.
I HIGHLY suggest that if you are ever in the Austin area go get you a donut from Round Rock Donuts! You don't have to get the Big Texas Donut, but it is kinda fun.

The boys have decided that they want to visit as many of the restaurants featured on MVF as we can. So this marks #2 for us since a visit to the Salt Lick in Driftwood TX is a regular trip for us.
So look out soon for more posts from Alec & the Bear in their food adventures.
