It was either my last trip to the Dallas area or the one before that I made a stop into the very cool Café Brazil. But this trip was such a quick one, and filled with what seemed like non-stop meetings and new client pitches that I had very little time to do anything remotely fun.

Normally I do my best to try new things, see new places, etc. More importantly, I very much enjoy revisiting my friends at the various restaurants and other businesses that I frequent when I hit town again.

My Comfort Suites DFW Airport Hotel was so close to the actual airport that I really had no time to even travel the 20 minutes or so to spend some time at the Café Brazil Addison. And even though there seems to be at least 10 stores in the local chain, I just couldn’t get over towards any of them.

But that’s groovy. They know I love ‘em there. I just hope that they are featuring their Turtle Cheesecake the next time I’m there. Not sure just how they might interpret it, but I love, love, love cheesecake and recently found a place up in Cottonwood where they make it fresh daily.

I go up to visit my mother as much as I can, and she told me about the La Bella Cafe. She and some of her church going friends decided to adopt the place as their own little gang clubhouse. When she told me the wife/co-owner made fresh cheesecake nearly every day, I knew I had to go and check it out on my next visit to see Mom.

Glad I did. In fact, I have to be back in Phoenix for a convention next week, so I’m planning on driving the 2 hours or so to take Mom to have brunch at La Bella on Sunday for Mother’s Day. Yeah, okay. I’m making the “sacrifice” because I want some more of their great deserts! Hey, their meals are pretty darned good too!

Clearly I talk about food a lot in my little web site here. If that offends you, I’m really sorry. My apologies. But when you travel as much as I do, you need to have hobbies. Eating just happens to be one of mine.

When I’m home, I cook for myself. When I’m not eating pizza all weekend of course So, it’s more than just stuffing industrialized, overly processed food stuffs in my gullet in order to fill up my belly (side note: for some strange reason, when I typed that last line I was speaking in the Fat guy character from the Austin Powers Movies “Get in my belly!” Not sure why that cracks me up )

Anyway, I was saying that I like eating. Very much have enjoyed taking up cooking and actually try to do some amount of my own food preparation when I am out on the road. Usually I find that the kitchenettes in the extended suites help in this regard quite a bit. My place here at the Comfort Suites DFW airport hotel has a nice little cook place with all the tools and whatnot as well.

But, I don’t think I’m going to get to use the facilities in my room during this trip because some of my clients are taking me out to this place: Café Brazil!!

Oh, yeah, baby. Have you been to these types of restaurants before? They are the ones where the food servers are ripping around the tables carrying large skewers of meat, chicken, lamb, etc. You have large medallion coin with green on one side and red on the other in front of your plate.

As long as you have the green side facing up, when they come by, they’ll carve you off a slab of whatever they have and serve it up right there, right now. It’s the best kind of place I’ve ever eaten at.

Not sure about this place but, other’s I’ve been to in the past have amazing buffet tables filled with just every imaginable fruit, vegetable and the widest variety of side dishes as well. Oh, my!

Please, some one roll me out and get me back to my bed after this meal. The things we have to do to make our clients happy
