uy Fieri is my inspiration when it comes to
cars, food and traveling the United States.
My favorite Food Channel Star has turned
his signature wheels, a 1967 Red Chevy

the Camaro of my dreams.
I can picture the memories returning to my
mind, as I watched the TRIPLE D threat eating King
Ranch Casserole in Austin with movie star, Matthew Mcconaughey. The Texas movie hero drove
onto the scene of TRIPLE D in his own Black Firebird to share a taste of he Monument Cafe’s signature dish. It was Truly, the best of both worlds to
watch on TV; GREAT FOOD AND GREAT CARS!
