📍Lunch 🍽️ & Bugs 🪲 | Amarillo TX
I spent the night in Amarillo and when it came to finding a memorable lunch the next day, I knew better than to trust the big billboards pointing me towards The Big Texan tourist trap; instead, I asked my AI assistant…Best. Decision. Ever. 🍽️🍔

I ended up at Coyote Bluff Cafe, a tiny, 1,000-square-foot spot that was originally a dance hall. It wasn't just a meal; it felt like walking into someone’s home. My server, Heather, was an absolute rockstar…she made the whole experience so warm and welcoming.

And the food? Super yum! I’ve never thought to put guacamole AND sour cream on a grilled chicken burger, but now? I’m converted. Throw in some perfectly crispy fried okra and homemade onion rings, and I was in food heaven. 🥰

With a full belly and a happy heart, I pointed Aurora north toward Colorado, but had to make one quick pit stop first. You’ve probably heard of the iconic Cadillac Ranch (I stopped there in 2023!), but I couldn’t miss the Slug Bug Ranch. It’s the less-crowded, quirky 2002 "parody" of the 1974 Cadillac version with five half-buried VW Beetles and vintage limos, all decked out in wild, spray-painted graffiti art. 👩🏼‍🎨🎨🖌️🚗

It’s these weird, wonderful, off-the-beaten-path moments that make road-tripping in a van so addictive. Wish you could ride along with me and experience the magic! 🤗😘

Onward…🚐💨🛣️
