We went out to a quirky Tex-Mex place in Winston-Salem (with ample shaded outdoor seating). I just had portobello mushroom tostadas, very good but nothing unusual, and my partner started with chips and queso. But my starter and her entree are where the creativity were hiding:
Avocado fries: wedges of avocado, fried on the outside. The avocado inside was all soft and smooth and silky, and it came with a tasty cilantro ranch.
Dr. Pepper Trailer Pot Pie: "tots, cheese, and Dr. Pepper BBQ beef baked in a mini skillet; served with flour or corn tortillas, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and jalapeños."
