[Beaumont] Cattle Company

A common trend of the South is its diet centered around beef and frying (especially deep-frying).

For dinner we started with deep fried appetizers: onion rings, cheese-stuffed jalapeños, pickles.

There were lots of great choices on the menu. But two options stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

• The Cowgirl - Center cut filet mignon wrapped in Hickory smoked cured bacon
• Shrimp Brochette - Large Gulf shrimp stuffed with a sliver of jalapeno and Monterey Jack cheese, wrapped in bacon and grilled to perfection
  

Meat wrapped in meat? Really? This is offered on a menu? I thought it was only a heaven you could create in your own kitchen.

I hope you have a chance to try it. It tastes exactly how you think it does, but better.
