Today we headed out of Austin and made our first stop in Snook, Texas, home of Sodolak’s Original Country Inn for lunch. We started with the specialty of the house, and our reason for visiting: chicken-fried bacon. Yep, you read it right — chicken-fried bacon. The heart stoppin-est appetizer in the land. I washed that down with a surprisingly good cheeseburger and hit the road for Waco. In Waco we stopped at the phenomenal Texas Rangers museum, where we learned all about the long (and sometimes sordid) history of the Texas Rangers. Of particular import, I learned that while Chuck Norris as Walker, Texas Ranger made frequent use of his martial-arts skills in apprehending bad guys, real Texas Rangers rarely use massive roundhouse kicks on a daily basis. And with that we headed further east to Canton, Texas where we had dinner at the “World Famous” Dairy Palace before retiring for the evening.
