I have wanted to eat at "Chef Point Cafe" for some time now. The problem? It is up in Watauga. That's not too far, but traffic can be brutal near that part of 820. Well, today was going to be the day! It's a Saturday, It's about 130 PM, It's been raining. Off we go up I35 in light traffic. There is a long back up on I35 SB. Mental Note: Back roads coming home. Everything was rolling well until we started east on North loop 820. Bam! A wall of traffic. No problem, we were only slightly hungry and knew the goal was near. We'll just exit early and hit the surface streets. We can do it! Until we saw the flashing red stop light WAAAYYYY up ahead on the service road. We had to be about 30-40 cars deep and it was barely moving. Our spirits were crushed and the mission was aborted and we headed to our Favorite Thai Restaurant. A good consolation prize, but we felt so close to a "Chef Point Cafe" experience!
