Second Review: The Lakehouse

So I'm not a very good blogger. The evidence is on the blog itself. When's the last time I blogged? Late January? Whoopsie.

Well I'm back, and I want to get this blog thing going. Anyone out there have tips on getting your blog known? Anyone?

Anywho, good news! I've been more adventurous in my eating. So what if that means being the mystery jelly bean taste tester (don't eat the tan speckly ones- they are DISGUSTING)? In advisory a while back, Coach Baber (one of my advisors extraordinaire) brought in this sausage that was stuffed with rice (I'm sure there's a name for it that I'm brain farting on right now..) and I was the FIRST to try it. We're taking small steps.

The best part? I LIKED IT! IT WAS YUMMY AND DELICIOUS AND HOTTER THAN LOGAN LERMAN, WHICH MADE MY MOUTH WANT TO JUMP OUT OF MY SKULL, BUT HEY! I liked it.

But this post is supposed to be a review (another testament to my lack of blogging skizzilz)
So here we go- The Lakehouse!

The Lakehouse is right smack in the middle of Discovery Green in downtown Houston, right next to this faux-lake where little kiddies can race boats- awwww! The building itself is uber-cool and modern, and they play GREAT music. They have a very simple menu- burgers, fries, and hotdogs, and GREAT lemonade. I tried the basil lemonade (go me!) but opted for the regular instead. I got the Lakehouse burger and the golden Yukon fries, which have to be some of the best fries in town- I kid you not. The burger is super yummy-delicious and simple- just like everything else in the restaurant. I'll admit, I should have been more adventurous and gone with something like the Texas Smokehouse- a sirloin, chuck, brisket, and BACON patty with white cheddar, mushrooms, and St. Arnold's stewed onions. Next time.

I really love the Lakehouse- there's something about the atmosphere that makes me happy. The food is yummy too, and the staff is great. If you're looking for something to do one sunny afternoon in Houston- hit the Green! Mess around in the park and grab a bite at the Lakehouse! And make sure to get the Vanilla Bean milkshake- it is DELISH! Ps did you know that vanilla beans are actually orchid seeds or something shiz-diculous like that? My Uncle Richard (crazy amazin' cook) knows all kind of crazy things like that.
