Lunch time with Clients

While in Dallas meeting with this particular client it’s never a surprise to go to the same place for lunch every time. These guys like “scenery” as they like to call it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad place to get away from the meetings for a while. Twin Peaks has a couple of locations around Texas, this particular one is located at 2601 Stemmons Freeway in Lewisville. I’ve never been to this place and not seen it almost full at any time of the day. Similar to a Hooters the crowd is predominantly male and the wait staff 100% female from the short shorts to the lumber jack type shirts tied perfectly to accent and lift the “twin peaks”.
The food on the other hand could use some work. I have had several of the items on the menu during my occasional visits to the peaks, but this time I wanted to try and keep it healthy with a salad (to offset the large amount of Shiner Bock on this visit to Texas) which I hadn’t had here before. The “Colorado Cobb” as the call it is loaded with the usual Cobb toppings, yes bacon too, with choice of dressing that I was smart enough to get on the side. A decent salad overall but would advise them to use a blend of greens other than the tasteless iceberg lettuce so many establishments use these days to keep costs down.
I did manage to get an appetizer and picked off the plate my client ordered as well. My choice…………wings. Yep more wings. Just like everywhere else I go there breaded with a ho-hum sauce and not worth getting again. Client plate? “Pulled Pork Nachos”. Yeah baby that’s what it’s all about!!! Crispy chips pilled high with handfuls of slow roasted pork, melted cheddar cheese, barbeque sauce, hot peppers, dill pickles, tomatoes and other delightful toppings. So much for a health lunch. Only thing missing on the nachos……………you got it, Bacon.
