Amidst the bustling vibe of metro Atlanta, a couple from Virginia is on a headline-making mission that combines travel, food, and a dash of adventure. Meet Judy and Mike McNamara, the duo who’ve embarked on a whimsical and delicious journey to visit every Texas Roadhouse in the United States. What started as a retirement goal for Judy has now become a delightful passion project for the couple.
Judy, upon retirement six years ago, sought to roam more—and why not dig into some of your favorite meals along the way? This wasn’t just any road trip quest; the McNamaras aimed high and their love for Texas Roadhouse became the backbone of their mission. To date, they have chomped down signature rolls and savored steaks at a whopping 460 Texas Roadhouse locations across almost every state—a staggering 49 to be precise!
This week marks an exciting leg of their journey as they roll into metro Atlanta. Thursday has them scheduled to feast at the Texas Roadhouse in Douglasville, followed by a Friday meal in Hiram. These stops add to their already impressive tally, as they get closer to their massive 600-location goal.
The quirky quest isn’t just about the food. For Judy and Mike, it embodies the spirit of exploration, love, and adventure wrapped into the juicy goodness of their beloved eatery. It’s about discovering new places, meeting new people, and digging into warm rolls and sweet butter in different settings around the nation. It’s the couple’s grab at a slice of excitement to mark their post-retirement chapter.
Curiosity may not kill the cat here but fuels Judy and Mike’s engine. Wondering what keeps this journey so engaging for them? For Judy, the enthusiasm lies in the journey itself and the thrill that every new location brings. It’s the uniqueness of each stop that piques their interest—the differences in ambiance, the way the meals are prepared, the local touches, and the friendly faces they encounter. For Mike, it’s the stories they unfurl, the little anecdotes that serve as cherished memories, keeping their mission fresh and lively.
The McNamaras mentioned that they often meet other Texas Roadhouse fans during their visits who are fascinated by their unusual yet captivating journey. While many may enjoy an occasional meal at their nearest restaurant, the McNamaras are creating a story to tell, one steak at a time.
With still over a hundred more locations to tuck into, this Virginia couple’s mission is far from over. They are hoping to check off more spots in the upcoming months, turning their travels into a fulfilling adventure of savory feasts and gratifying memories. As they continue north to south, east to west, Judy and Mike remind us all: retirement is not about slowing down, but about spicing it up with a mix of hobbies, passions, and yes—delicious food!
So, the next time you find yourself dunking a Texas-sized steak, perhaps you’ll ponder about Judy and Mike’s epic gastronomic journey. Bon voyage to them as they continue their quest!
