Food is one of my specialities, Catman. Especially, ice cream. Also, Gaido's is a Galveston Landmark as far as seafood is concerned. Never tried the Blue Bell there, as I always need more than they serve.

Shiner Bock is a Texas tradition and a great secret. I'm glad your tried it, because everyone that does likes it.

As far as Dr. Pepper and Pepsi, I am in agreement with you. Just GOTTA HAVE IT!!!
