Carshon's Deli Review by Shanna

This homey lunch spot is located on 8th Avenue just south of Berry in Fort Worth. As you walk in, you will see a glass case full of bread and desserts. Just past the shelves of kosher items, you'll find a cozy room decorated with historic photos of Fort Worth. The service is excellent. My favorite sandwich on the menu is the Rebecca. The highlights are pastrami, turkey, cream cheese and Russian dressing. The bread is toasted with butter. Good sides would be either the potato salad or cucumber salad. For dessert go for the Coconut Pie. It is out of this world. If you are in the TCU area, this is the place to get a sandwich.

Huevos con Queso

On Camp Bowie, there is a landmark restaurant named The Original. It is the oldest Mexican restaurant in the Cultural District. My favorite breakfast dish consists of two corn tortillas topped with scrambled eggs and cheese queso. I tried to recreate it at home, and it was just as good as what I had at the restaurant. I love to try to create a dish I've had at a fancy restaurant. Hope you like it.

Ingredients:
6 corn tortillas
6 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
butter
cheese queso
salsa

Directions: Melt butter in the skillet. Mix eggs and milk. Pour into skillet and scramble. Warm two corn tortillas per person. Lay on plate side by side. Put eggs onto tortillas. Pour hot queso on top of each egg/tortilla. Add salsa as garnish. Eat with a fork (do not fold into tacos). Serves 3 people.
