Maggie's Farm

Speaking of delicious food, if you're ever in Colonial Williamsburg there is a delicious student food favorite restaurant right across the street from the University. We ate there after a long enjoyable/exhausting prowl among all the shops on the main drag. We looked up from our table at the room jammed with students and saw most of them crouched over big mounds of thin squiggly fried things. We decided that we ought to have that too. When the huge platter of fried onion strings came to the table we decided that we couldn't possibly eat all of those delicious strings, doused with a creamy pink sauce. But we did. Every bite.

We've had onion strings since but they were never quite as good as the Williamsburg ones. Found out how they make them though. They cut both ends off a can, stuff it with thin sliced nicely battered onions and put the whole shooting match into the deep fryer for the usual time. The students from the university have designated this their favorite treat. It has become mine, but very few fast food restaurants in Houston make these.

If you're ever in Williamsburg try them.
