Texas French Bread: Fall Garden Party 2015

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a great day at church on Saturday and spent time with family friends that night. After a restful sleep, I spent the majority of yesterday studying for a petroleum fluids exam I have this evening. For a little study break, my friend, Allison, and I went to a bakery + bistro called Texas French Bread for an event called their “Fall Garden Party” where we had the opportunity to sample free small bites and have a few drinks.

It was a short walk from where we live so we got there at exactly 6 p.m. Upon first look, I was completely enamored by the restaurant’s inviting backyard seating area. There were plenty of places to sit and I loved the string lights. It was also perfect evening weather for an outdoor event like this.

I enjoyed being able to get my own drinks when we arrived. We both got herbal tea and found a table under some shade for two. We sampled their crostinis, including a sweet potato one, ricotta + honey + thyme one, and one with liver and whole grain mustard. My favorite one was most definitely the ricotta + honey + thyme. Sweet and creamy and delicious!

I liked that people could order more substantial meals if they wanted a little something more to eat. Allison suggested to get an order of fries and I was definitely on board, because oh boy, I love fries almost as much as her. TFB’s fries were very, very good — crispy and perfectly tender. The garlic aioli that came with the fries were delicious but we wanted some ketchup as well a few minutes afterwards. The person helping us came back quickly with our request.
