After posting my Birthday write-up, somebody mentioned that you get a free app at Texas Roadhouse for your birthday. You also get a free app just for signing up (out of five choices), and for your birthday, you also have the option of a Sidekick of ribs.
I headed out to Texas Roadhouse in Methuen, which is, of course, on the wrong side of Rte28. They only serve lunch on Fri-Sun.
Grilled Pork Chops. "Fresh, hand-cut, boneless chops seasoned and served with Peppercorn sauce. Served with your choice of two sides. Single ($12.49) or Double portion ($15.49)". I guess I can't complain since they say boneless pork chops, which is accurate. $3 for an extra chop? Of course! I asked for them cooked pink, and they were perfectly cooked. Not sure who dreamed up the peppercorn sauce with the chops, but it was delicious. The baked potato was also excellent, extra butter of course. I have since learned that making them loaded for an extra buck is well worth it.
Then my alter ego went to the Danvers location and ordered exactly the same thing. The ribs were dry, the pork chops were overcooked and dry. The bacon in my loaded potato was carbonized. The extra butter never made it, and even the butter in the potato was absent. The chili was good. Oh, and we are out of the peppercorn sauce! They opened an hour ago. How is this possible?
