Best of 2009: New Food

Jake's Onion Rings

My best food find of 2009? Easy, the onion rings from Jake’s Grill in Pearland, Texas. Even if you don’t like onion rings, try them.

I was never a fan of onion rings but would steal one of Matt’s here or there. This year, not sure if it was me being pregnant, but something came over me and I fell in love with these onion rings. I ate them more than I want to admit.

When my mother-in-law told me that these were the best onion rings she had eaten in 30 years, that kind of made me realize how good they must be. I didn’t have anything to compare them to.

I did try onion rings at a place I don’t want to name, and they were horrible. Take me back across the street to Jake’s and fast!

If you are in the Houston area, I totally recommend a quick trip down 288 to Pearland to try them for yourself.

Used to go to this place weekly when I was in college.. sushi in college? That’s where my student loan money must have went.

Very nice people. Gave me free stuff all the time and the lady who ran the place had short, cute hair, like me.

They also take your photo on your birthday so I’m up on the walls in a few places.

Haven’t been in ages but would go back and try it again.
