Only in a place like America would you have a cowboy-themed restaurant that serves Italian gourmet ice cream.
In this case, it’s taking place on Route 66 in Amarillo. It’s called Cowboy Gelato, on the historic Sixth Street district. According to the restaurant’s Web site:
Cowboy Gelato will bring a new form of excitement to the Old Historic Route 66 track through Amarillo. Offering stuffed hamburgers, pork loin sandwiches, BBQ pork sandwiches and other Cowboy favorites along side a wide variety of Gelato and Sorbet all made fresh daily. The Cinematic decor of the Spaghetti Westerns top off the experience that is soon to be a family favorite.
On Thursday at the restaurant, you could hear local singer Carmen Espinoza-Rodriquez belt out Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight” with Michael Martin Murphey accompanying on guitar. Yes, that Michael Martin Murphey of “Wildfire” fame.
So if you have a sweet tooth while traveling though the Texas Panhandle, you have another dining option.
