Ground Zero

Once upon a time my family and I went to houston for a little trip, sometimes it's nice to get away, sleep in a sweet bed, have fun and grub non stop. On this trip Will also decided to slide down from Dallas to join us, a decision he would never forget. Second night of the trip we got done with a movie decided we were thirsty and it was time to swim. Went to the pool saw that it was closed we said PERFECT LETS DO THIS, their fault for not locking the door. Got done with our swim Kourtney was cold or somethin got back to the room looked at Will, could see a certain look in his eyes, a look I had seen in the mirror myself MANY TIMES, then and there I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO GRUB. Through the fought back tears I could see in Will's eyes came two words of which haunt me to this day, "Lets Eat", he said. I looked Will right in the eyes I said YOU LEAD ILL FOLLOW LETS WALK THERE! Will said Kody I think it might be pretty far I slapped him right on the cheek said ROME WASNT BUILT IN A DAY! We Left. Got outta the hotel Walked a few blocks I said, THIS TUMMY IS RUMBLIN AND I GOT A NEED FOR SPEED, Will said lets cruise. Got back to the hotel parking garage found Will's BMW I said gimme the keys and make me a DRINK. Fast foward 3 minutes and were gettin chased by Mall security in this damn MAZE they call a parking garage, We were trapped. It was then and there I asked myself JAIL, OR GRUB? GUESS WHICH ONE I PICKED. 2 minutes later we were out of the garage, PAUL BLART MALL COP no where in sight, MUSIC LOUD. Finally as I crested that hill on Westhiemer Boulevard and saw the bright lights of CHACHO"S I couldn't help but feel like Christopher Columbus must of felt the day he Saw AMERICA, I said Will lets make AMERICA PROUD, Will Said WITH LIBERTY, AND CHACHO'S FOR ALL! We PArked, first thing we notice is THIS AINT AMERICA THIS LOOKS LIKE AFRICA, we werent scared. Walked in the place was mayham 50 people in line, hundreds eating, cops everywhere, 2 am, Club scrubs all over. Finally got to the counter will flanking my left at an adjacent register fist pounded him said LETS TAG TEAM THIS BITCH. Will threw the first punch with a large order of beef nachos, I countered with 5 PULLED BEEF TACOS, I wondered what the hell they meant by pulled beef but I was fascinated, Inspired by my order will brought it home with EVEN MORE TACOS i said No he didnt THATS MY NIGGA!!! Surely the workers at CHACHOS must have thought we were ordering for a Wedding reception NUH UH!! DINNER FOR TWO! We sit down start work on the tacos, Well, Chachos calls them tacos I call them COWS WRAPPED IN TORTILLAS. I now understood why each damn taco cost 4 effing dollars! Worth it. We get sick of the scene decide to take the nacho show on the road to the hotel. LET ME SET THE SCENE FOR YOU. Were sitting on the floor by the bathroom in the hotel, Chips everywhere, Will's using BATH TOWELS as napkins, Ive got beef in my hair, THE NACHOS KEPT MULTIPLYING, oh did I mention the meat on the nachos was PULLED BEEF STRAIGHT OFF THE DAMN COW! I said Will you got beans all over the damn towel he just said "napkin" I was confused, and then BLOWN AWAY I said will your a trend-setter why use a damn little piece of paper when your can WIPE IT DOWN so I got another Towel and what did I do WIPED IT DOWN! We wake up the next morning, The girls say WHAT IS THAT SMELL? I looked at will, with a hand pound and a grin we just said Beef, its the beef, we both knew that from this point on Houston would always hold a place in our hearts, and in our Tummy's. That afternoon we passed ground zero and All we could do was laugh because we knew that beef like that might never be seen again.
