If you have not been to
Guenther House on your trips to SA, you are sorely missing out. Guenther House is the home of the founding family of Pioneer Flour. It was built in 1860 and after a 2 year restoration, the restaurant opened in 1988. I have been several times for brunch and it never disappoints. I'll admit the wait sucks, especially with 2 toddlers, but really what good restaurant do you not have to wait for? The best thing to have during a lengthy wait? Drinks? Ok, so maybe the 2nd best thing? That would be a super cute gift shop that sells the best baking supplies (need a tortilla flattener?) and super cute items (princess tea party book anyone?) that you just have to have! The store is super small and I could easily kill an hour there...all I have to say is, "what wait?"
After 2 hours in the car and 2 showings for
Toy Story 2, we stopped in Salado for lunch. We stumbled along a great little spot,
Adelea's on Main. Adelea's opened in 2008 by 2 sisters who launched their culinary careers based on recipes their mother had passed on to them from their late grandmother. They still feature some of these recipes in the restaurant. Adelea's and their bar, Hemingway's (named after their dog) is located in a home that was built in 1925. I can't think of a more fitting location!
The rest of the trip was completely non-eventful...unless you count seeing
Toy Story 2 for the 3rd time today as eventful...sigh.
