Around The World In Your Backyard - Pho V Noodle House

Pho V Noodle House
3504 Harwood Euless Tx

You won't find too many Vietnamese Restaurants in Euless Tx, but the one they do have is Pho-tastic!

They have many traditional Vietnamese dishes but the one they are most popular for is the one in their name, Pho. Pho, pronounced more like fè, is traditionally made of broth, rice noodles, a few herbs, and meat. They have a beef, chicken, veggie, and super beef pho.

I went for the large super beef. It shows up to your table in a ginormous bowl on plate w fresh bean sprouts, fresh basil and lime wedges on the side. Inside the bowl is broth, brisket, round eye steak, tripe, onion, and noodles. You don't have to get the tripe if you don't enjoy it but you know what they say "when in a Vietnamese Restaurant eat the tripe", i personally like it and par take in the tripe awesomeness.

Put the bean sprouts and loose basil leaves into soup and go to town! You can eat w the Vietnamese Spoon, Chop Sticks, or Spoon. The flavor of this soup is unique and comforting. It's like your grandma made you home made soup but only this time your grandma is Vietnamese. The fresh basil is refreshing and compliments the beefy broth nicely. The fresh beans sprouts give the soup a good lil crunch. If you like spicy they have sriracha, a spicy Asian paste, on the table.

Great for a cool day or if your feeling a lil down in the weather.

Texas BBQ - Bartley BBQ

Bartley's BBQ Grapevine TX
413 E. Northwest Hwy Grapevine Tx

Nothing says it better then Real Tx BBQ as stated on their website. The meats have a rub and are slow smoked. The BBQ Sauce is tangy and spicy, every thing you expect Tx BBQ to be.

What makes Bartley's BBQ even more amazing is the ALL YOU CAN EAT PLATE! When in Tx this is a must, nothing like having a mountain of meat smothered or dipped in BBQ Sauce.

Favorite Meats
-------------------------------------

Ribs - Pork Ribs always tender w a great smoke taste. The top of the ribs are crispy and sweet giving a nice contrast to the tender juicy meat on the inside. Amazing a must!

Brisket - Lightly Seasoned and smoked to perfection. The meat has a very natural taste, allowing you to really taste the smoke flavor. They are also good about trimming the fat and using a lean brisket. So tender you can cut it w a fork. Great Stuff!

Sausage - Nothing too fancy here but the way they smoke the meat gives it such a great taste and when you dip it in the BBQ Sauce...... its a special moment.

In addition they have the traditional line up as well chicken breast, chicken quarters, ham, chopped beef with traditional sides koslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, beans, greens, pickles, and banana pudding w the wafers. All very good.
