How do I love Bob Armstrong? Let me count the ways. Bob is a montage of so many things... all in one nice little package. He's meaty...cheesy...with a little sass mixed in...I love-me-some-Bob-Armstrong and I can't seem to stay away. Everytime I think I can just say no, alas, no control. Bob and I recently re-connected after many years absence and I am ashamed to say I am a tad obsessed now. He's so amazing that even my sweet husband approves! Lucky me!



It's ok! Bob is not some long-lost love or hottie who I've kept under wraps 'til now! Get your mind out of that gutter. Bob Armstrong is the off-the-menu tantilizing appetizer available at Frisco's newest gem-of-a-dining-experience, Mattito's. Located on the northeast side of booming Frisco Square, you can't miss the vibrant storefront that faces a busy Main Street. Their patio is always bustling, especially during happy hour. You can't help but smile when driving by. It is a welcome addition to that fast growing area of town. And the fact that it takes about three minutes to get there from my house? Oh boy. That's a whole 'nother conversation. (It's like when we moved in right across from the new SuperTarget, I just knew they would all be calling me by my middle name soon! It's just way to convenient. If I could JUST buy stock in ONLY the SuperTarget/Eldorado store...)

Let me tell you how I first heard about Bob Armstrong. I used to work at 99.5 The Wolf in Dallas, and my office was at Maple and Oaklawn. Mattito's, located in Uptown off Cedar Springs, was the first restaurant I ever ate at with some people from work. When Katherine, one of my co-workers ordered the Bob Armstrong, I inquired, "Where's THAT on the menu? I don't see it!" She smiled and answered as if she had THE best-kept-secret, "It's not! You just have to ask for it!" (Talk about word-of-mouth at its best!) The BA Dip consists of ground beef, guacamole, cheddar cheese and sour cream. Bob Armstrong may not sound like a genius creation, but it's the queso that makes it extraordinary, in my opinion. So creamy...it's SO delectable!

So go to Mattito's. Ask for Bob Armstrong. The server will know exactly what you want! My tip: I like to eat mine with corn tortillas instead of the chips. I can get more of BA on that tortilla than on a chip and in some crazy way, I can rationalize to myself that Bob Armstrong is just a "little" more healthy for me!
