What's a Rattle Snake Bite?

It's an appetizer, there's a description on the menu:

ww7.texasroadhouse.com/NMotion/Menus/Menu-B1.7_0309.pdf

Oh wow, that sounds good!

I guess I was hoping it was made out of rattlesnake. :(

wonder how much protein is in rattlesnake Jackie?

I don't know but now I am determined to find out!

oh wow my hubby will LOVE those.... have you tried any other appetizers there?  I am not so much for the jalapenos... We have a Texas Roadhouse right down the road... I think this will be my next outing :)

Yesterday me and bec did Logans to celebrate her dentist appointment - no cavities!... and I had a brewski steak with grilled onions, and they had a sweet potato loaded with marshmallows and caramel sauce, it was actually pretty good, but I think I will get the loaded baked next time I go, I also had 1 roll with butter and a side salad with ranch. 

I haven't tried any other appetizers, so I don't know; I've always liked jalapenos so they were a natural for me.

Thanks Kerry, these have become my favorite posts of late... you are taking the guesswork out for me and giving me great ideas on what to eat and where to eat it.

I highly recommend this rare, it melts in your mouth it is so tender :

Filet Medallions • Three tender filets (9 ounces total) topped with choice of
Peppercorn or Portobello Mushroom sauce and served over seasoned rice
