The Driskill Grill

What started of as a girl's usual Tuesday night out to yoga ended up being an adventure for Amanda and I. After some mishaps and a bad case of unfortunate events, Amanda and I ended up walking down sixth street to cool off some steam and to just talk about life a little bit. Every day keeps getting better for both of us but sometimes I feel like just like I do she has hard times and it's normal. Life just gets shitty sometimes and you need a good walk and some delicious hot chocolate to make you feel better. Seeing that I have the soul and heart of a gypsy I told her that we had to go to the Driskill Grill to get some of their world famous hot chocolate. Being the best friend that she is, she accepted my wish and off we went. For those who don't know about Austin the Driskill Hotel is the fancy pants hotel located on sixth street. It's where all the romantic Austin weddings take place and it's the type of place you go to when you feel like getting in touch with your Victorian self as you drop 300 bucks a night for a room. As pricey as it may be, the place is beautiful and I hope to spend a night in it soon.

Amanda and I weren't given the most welcoming looks as we walked in there but I don't blame them. I was sporting slide on Sperry's with black Nike shorts, a grey TriDelt t shirt and a cut up sweater. Nothing matched and I was planning on getting my yoga on, not going to the fancy pants Grill and Bakery. But whatever, my love for food is pretty high up so I demanded a table for two.
After waiting around for my waitress to actually realize that we exist  I got the dessert menu and everything sounded delicious. I ordered a chocolate croissant with a hot chocolate and Amanda ordered a cinnamon roll with hot chocolate as well. The service was pretty speedy and as soon as our food got there I would have to say they weren't lying. It was delicious. Everyone should try it out. I think the presentation kind of sucked and it kind of looked like a whataburger cinnamon roll but the flavor made up for it. My chocolate croissant was delicious and the hot chocolate is in the top three best hot chocolates I have ever had.
More than anything I just think it was nice to be enjoying a nice afternoon snack with Amanda and just talking about anything and everything. I'm determined that we spend a night in that hotel and go out to sixth street that night. I can't wait to be 21 and I wish I was a food critic. That would be the perfect career for me. My heart and tummy would be happy. The night ended with our happy tummies and eventually all of us were happy after a good walk and some Barbra Streisand records. Happy happy Tuesday.
