Mobility for Foodies... How good can this get?!?

Let's face it. When it comes to feeding the inner Foodie, you've typically got three choices, each with pros and cons:

COOK IT. This involves buying the ingredients, preparing them, creating them and indulging in the final product. PROS: You control everything from ingredients and calories to prep and cooking time. CONS: Well... you've got to do it. Make it, clean it. That's not always fun.

DRIVE THRU IT. No explanation needed. You get in the car, talk to a menu, drive to a window, collect your food and stuff your face on the way to your destination. PROS: Cheap, quick and dirty... in a conscious sense, which leads me to the CONS: You drive thru it, it drives thru you. In general, fast food isn't synonymous with health food. My Daddy refers to fast food as "The 99 cent heart attack in a bag."

DINE OUT. Like visiting the drive thru, someone else does the work. PROS: Like cooking yourself, you generally have more options and orders are generally easily customizable. You get to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant and you don't have to do the dishes or throw out the trash. CONS: If you're a frugal Foodie like I am, conscious and the pocket book won't allow you to chose this option more than a few times per month.

We've been in Huntsville, Texas for almost two months now and we've done our share of all three types of feeding the inner-Foodie. Thanks to word-of-mouth, today I discovered this little gem... Emmie's Eatery, Huntsville's first combination of the three main Foodie feeding categories.

At Emmie's Eatery, which is compeltely mobile but in no way a roach coach, you can enjoy all of those fine foods that you wish you could cook at home but are too intimidated to try (okay, at least, that's my POV). Example? Crepes with Nutella and strawberries, pulled chicken crepes and pulled pork sliders among other fresh and health-conscious varieties on the menu.

Here's how it works: You drive up to Emmie's eatery (like at a drive thru), place your order (as in a drive thru or dine-in) order the gourmet food from the clean facility and friendly staff (dine-in... check!) and then... you take it home.

Sometimes, I pretend like I've created something as amazing as Emmie's food... but let's get real, I just drove to 1219 14th Street, across from Huntsville's Public Library, and placed my order!

Cheers!
