June 23rd : Madonna Inn cont...


monks: Here's the main dinning area for the steakhouse part...
Liezl: Yeah it was crazy gaudy! Bubblegum fake pink flowers everywhere! But I guess that is where the charm comes from..




Liezl: Even the sugar was pink!!! Everyone got to drink from these goblets and it was badass! It made me feel important. I was so tempted to steal it, but I was afraid that the gods would punish me and that would've been an awful way to start the roadtrip.




monks: Here's Lizoe with her openfaced roast beef sammy with mashed taters I think...
Liezl: Ohhh yess. Openfaced sandwich is a weakness of mine. It's because you can see all the layers of smothered goodness! There was a ton of meat. I just left the bread behind. I love how we started our tour with a full meal each!!


monks cont. : meat good, gravy, good. nuff said!



monks: On the left are their pretty goblets for sale...and to the right Mitch's BBQ tri-tip sammy with potato salad.
Liezl: One of the best parts of going on a foodie trip with others is that you get to taste their food too! This was good, but Mitch couldn't finish it. We saved half the sandwich for later (um yeah we never got around to eating it).

monks continued: it was painful throwing that to-go box away...but it was the start of a new day of wating and the thought of wasting space on a day or two old sammy was just not right...her meat was pretty damn good though!






monks: My breakfast came with homemade biscuits! These came with butter, honey, apricot jam and strawberry jam!
Liezl: Yeah I was jealous of Monk's biscuits. I actually thought that was the best tasting thing on the table! Good thing she doesn't eat sweets. Mo' fo' me!

monks continued: i don't care for this kind of stuff but it sure was yummy...all fresh! straight from the oven to my plate! however, i still like popeye's biscuits the best, prolly cause they inject them with butter and salt...



monks: I had corned beef hash and eggs over medium with hash browns the veggie fix-ins and my biscuits which by the way came along with us on the road! So did Mitch's sammy, both left uneaten though!
Liezl: Glad Monks went with the corned beef hash. Supposedly it's house made. It's not the usual comes-out-of-a-can mushy kind (although I do enjoy it), it was the chunky I-chopped-this-from-a-hunk-of-corned-beef kind. Yum! Salt rocks.

monks continued: lizoe forgot to mention that i took her to the best part-it's featured on the travel channel...it's the waterfall urinal! in the downstairs men's bathroom! it's all decked out in gold and chrome...the men's urinal is one big wall of what looks like gold and pearl and all kinds of crazy stuff AND it has a constant waterfall running! pretty neat if you ask me! =) thumbs up for this spot! portions are huge too! such a plus and a great way to start off the trip!



monks: Still getting the hang of it sorry...
