The Great Texas Roadhouse Roll Count: An Investigation (Mostly Focused on Avoiding My Entrée)
Ah, the Texas Roadhouse. Home of legendary steaks, friendly servers with line dancing shoes, and a never-ending supply of warm, pillowy rolls that haunt your dreams (in the best way possible). But there's one burning question that plagues every hungry patron: just how many of these delightful bread angels come in a basket?
Theories abound:
- The Minimalist: This theory posits a mere 3-4 rolls, just enough to politely nibble on before your food arrives. But let's be real, folks, that's just enough to get your taste buds singing and your stomach rumbling for more.
- The Optimist: This sunny outlook believes the basket overflows with a baker's dozen (13) rolls, a number both lucky and divisible by your dining companions (assuming you share, which is a big assumption).
- The Texas-Sized Glutton: This theory, whispered by those with expandable waistbands, claims the basket is a bottomless pit of bready goodness, magically refilling itself whenever you dare to take your eyes off it.
My undercover investigation (with a side of deliciousness):
Armed with an empty stomach and a healthy dose of skepticism, I embarked on a mission to Texas Roadhouse. My weapon of choice? A keen eye and a slightly suspicious server who kept asking if I "needed anything else" with a raised eyebrow. Here's what I discovered:
- The basket size varies depending on the location (much like the size of Texas itself, I presume).
- The average basket held a respectable 6-8 rolls. This is a good number, a number you can feel confident tackling without needing a nap afterwards.
- However, I did witness a legendary server deliver a basket overflowing with 10 rolls to a nearby table. This was met with gasps of awe and a round of high-fives. Clearly, this server was a champion of the carb-loving community.
The Verdict? It's all about the experience:
The true beauty of the Texas Roadhouse roll situation isn't the exact number. It's the warm welcome, the endless supply of cinnamon butter (because who can resist that?), and the feeling that you're never far from another buttery bite. So next time you find yourself at Texas Roadhouse, embrace the mystery! Enjoy the rolls, savor the moment, and who knows, you might just become a Texas-Sized Glutton yourself (but hey, no judgement here).
