Goat Lips? Seriously?

The other day I wanted to go to lunch somewhere that would be blog-worthy, I invited my friend Paitra Prim (sassy sidekick) over and she started looking on Urban Spoon for a place to eat, she came across a place called Goat Lips and jokingly suggested it, I laughed but my mom was like "Oh my gosh, I heard that place is so good!" So we hopped in the car and drove over, it's on Copter Road kind of in Ellison Industrial Park. We walked in and Paitra was like "this is a total man cave," and it totally was...we sat in the pub section and the walls were covered with picutres of athletes, mucisians and movie posters. Since none of us had ever been there, we asked our waiter what his favorite things on the menu were (which happens to be something on my 101 things to do in 1001 day list, you can do it too at http://www.dayzeroproject.com/.) He told us if we wanted a sandwich he loved the Philly Cheesesteak Sub, the GL Club or the Blackened Fish Sandwich; but if we wanted an entree he suggested the Blackened Fish Alfredo or Baja Spaghetti. They were actually out of Baja Spaghetti and we were super sad because it looked really good, it was like Mexican spaghetti with chicken, beans, corn and enchilada sauce over pasta. The menu was full of really different things like that, for instance the Carribean Jerk Chicken Sandwich. So we ordered the chips with homemade salsa and queso as an appetizer, and that alone was awesome! The queso was super spicy and the salsa was really fresh, but the best part was the chips they served, I HATE when restaurants serve crappy chips, these were salty and not even a little bit stale. After trying to figure out what we were going to order, because we wanted everything, I ordered the Blackened Chicken Alfredo...it was huge. I actually had to bring it home and eat the rest for dinner. But it was SO good, the fish was really, really blackened and the alfredo sauce wasn't too....alfredo-ey? Like when you go to Olive Garden and the alfredo sauce is too cheesey (sorry Olive Garden lovers but that place sucks), this sauce was awesome. My mom got the GL Club and said it was the best club sandwich she'd ever had. Of course we were all sharing and I thought the bacon was the best part of hers, it was really smokey. Paitra's was definitely the best, she got the Philly Cheesesteak Sub and I don't even know how to describe it, it was just ridiculous...and I don't even like Philly Cheesesteak. BUT the best part of the whole experience was when we left, it was pouring down rain outside and we didn't have an umbrella....of course. So one of the guys that works there grabbed an umbrella and ran us out to the car underneath it one by one. It was SO nice! I couldn't believe what a gentleman he was.
A friend of mine came up to me at church tonight and said the he saw that my Facebook status said I was at Goat Lips a few days ago and he raved about it too! I'm always excited when people tell me about their experiences at places I've blogged about.
I guess this entry is really just about food, no life changing conversations or meaningful moments to write about...except http://www.dayzeroproject.com/! Seriously, go do it! And tell me if you start a list because of this blog because one of my to-do's is to inspire someone to make a Day Zero List of their own!
