One of Craig's favorite TV shows is Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. For the past few months, every time Guy Fieri, the host, visited a location in San Antonio, I made a note in my phone so I could have my brother take me there when I went to visit him. My first night in San Antonio, we went to The Cove, a diner with a car wash and laundromat. Watch this clip and you can see why I wanted to go there.

Bob ordered the lamb burger and I got the fish taco platter. We switched one taco for half the lamb burger so I could taste both. Both items were very spicy and it was difficult to taste anything but the heat and I typically enjoy spicy food. If you are in San Antonio, I don't recommend you go out of your way to eat here.



My second day in San Antonio, we went to The Tip Top, another restaurant featured on Triple D. It is a family owned joint that has been open for over 70 years. Look at the pile of onion rings we got! Restaurants should serve onion rings with BBQ sauce (or that yummy onion ring sauce they have at Burger King). I got a hamburger and the meat had a really good taste. Bob got the chicken fried steak, which was huge but the breading was disappointing and they served it with french fries. Chicken Fried Steak should always be served with mashed potatoes. The food was okay and not expensive but the service was terrible. Another place, i recommend you don't go out of your way to patron.
