Man v Food San Antonio!
Man v. Food came to San Antonio and showed some of the awesome local restaurants! My favorites are Big Lou's Pizza and Lulu's Bakery. Both restaurants are must visits when in San Antonio and will leave you happy and full. And when I say full, I mean FULL!

Lulu's is home to a 3lb cinnamon roll and great chicken fried steak. For those of you who don't know chicken fried steak is a steak that is literally fried like chicken would be. It is a big Southern Comfort food.
Lulu's is a small diner somewhere near downtown. As soon as you walk in you can see the portion sizes and smell the grease. Not being from the south or eating anything fried growing up I felt like my arteries were clogging up on the spot. The diner itself is small and looks old but it has a charm about it.
In the Man v Food spirit my husband and I split the small chicken fried steak. It was huge! We couldn't even finish it. However, It was very good. The meat was tender and juicy and the fried shell was crunchy and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes it came with were real potatoes that were hearty and good. The bread it is served with had a great taste but was very dense and heavy. My table laughed when we noticed that despite the thousands of fried calories in front of us there was no butter for our bread, and instead they offered I can't believe it's not butter.
The cinnamon roll was huge! They warmed one up for us and it tasted like cinnamon roll heaven. We had 5 people eating off of it and still took half of it home! Despite it's giant size Lulu's was able to keep the roll soft with a lot of sugary flavor. The only complaint my party had was that since the roll is so big not every bite has cinnamon in it. We also brought one home. It still tasted good however, it was a little dry. We did warm it up in the microwave and that helped, however, if given the choice eat the cinnamon roll at the diner.
Overall, Lulu's was great. The Southern comfort cuisine is delicious. The price was also right at $10 for the small chicken fried steak and $7 for the cinnamon roll. Lulu's is a must visit when stationed in San Antonio!

Big Lou's Pizza is probably my favorite pizza place ever! The biggest they serve is a 42'' pizza! Let that size sink in for a moment and then watch the movie. The pizza itself is always wonderful. There are a lot of toppings that you can get. The 42'' pizza will run around $70-$80 if I remember right however it feeds around 10 people easily! The restaurant is a cute family owned place that has a lot of personality. The servers are nice and often times you will see the owner walking around asking how everyone's meal is. Their are all sorts of crazy things on the walls, including a cafeteria tray from OTS if you look hard enough. The food is great, the price is decent (if you have enough people), and the atmosphere is good. Big Lou's is a must visit when stationed in San Antonio!
