Somehow, our summer swimming outings just weren't complete unless they ended in a trip to EZ's, a fast-food type restaurant that started in San Antonio. Besides serviceable kids fare and better-than-usual burgers and curly fries, EZ's prepares an oven-roasted rosemary chicken that many home cooks would love to emulate, a nice grilled trout, and has recently added a very satisfying chopped Cobb salad to the menu. When you're blowing off eating healthy or just low-carbing it, try EZ's chili – it's the best. (Aw, go ahead, make it a Frito pie.) Milkshakes made with good old Blue Bell ice cream are worth the trip to EZ's alone. All that, and an atmosphere that's stimulating for kids, makes EZ's a readers' favorite.
