My companions and I ordered Artichoke Dip as an appetizer.  This was awesome! The artichoke hearts were blended with a mix of cheeses and herbs and served with several fried flatbread wedges.

We also got some of the Cheese Bread ( I did not try this but it looked really good.  The kids loved it!)

For dinner we ordered several Pizzas:

Pepperoni & Cheese on traditional white crust

Fattyspizza-cheese 

Pepperoni, Sausage and green olive on Wheat crust

Supreme Pizza on wheat crust:

This is the pizza that I ate.  The crust was traditional hand-tossed, and was somewhat soft instead of chewy or crispy.  The sauce was mild but the ingredients were fresh and it had a decent amount of cheese.  The slices were big and filling!

Overall Impression: Decent pizza, but nothing fancy.  Our server was great about getting drinks refilled, etc.

Personal Request for Restaurant Donations

Posted: under Restaurant.

Hello,

It is not often that I reveal anything about myself or my personal life on this blog, other than the foods I like to eat ;)   At this time, however, I have a personal request for those of you in the restaurant business and affiliates who read this blog (and any other generous people who may be reading)

Two months ago my best friend’s baby boy, Jake, was diagnosed with a rare genetic eye disorder called Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
With this diagnosis it was discovered that Jake has only “light” sight
and minimal peripheral vision. On July 16th and 17th, Jake underwent
double eye surgery to reattach his retinas and remove fluid blockage
with the hopes of allowing him the chance to see, at least, shapes and
shadows. It will be another 4-6 months before they will know if the
surgery was successful. What is known, is that Jake will need extensive
eye therapy, glasses and most likely multiple surgeries throughout his
life. FEVR is a progressive disorder with no known cure. The only thing
that can be certain is that Jake will be fighting for sight for the
rest of his life.

Because of all the therapy and ongoing care that Baby Jake needs, his mother (my friend) is unable to return to work.  As you can imagine, this has caused a great financial burden on the family.  To help alleviate some of the costs of therapy and the loss of income, a small group of friends and I are hosting a Benefit on Friday, September 18th to raise money for Jake and his family.  The benefit will include the following:

The benefit is open to anyone who would like to come and support our cause. You can find specific details of the event on Jake’s Benefit Website, Our Visions of Hope. At this time I am looking for restaurant donations to include in the raffle drawing.  If you are in the restaurant business and would be able to donate Gift Cards (or make a monetary donation to Jake) please e-mail me at kristi@twincitiesrestaurantblog.com. 

Thanks for your support!!!!!

Pappasito’s Cantina ~ Austin, TX (Side Trip)

Pappasito’s Cantina

I started with the homemade chips and salsa and a house margarita.  The chips were thin, hot and fresh and the salsa was decent.  The margarita was pretty good too.  I visited during happy hour but was disappointed to hear that you can only get happy hour specials on the appetizers if you order them at the bar, not sitting down in the restaurant.
