Clay's Carriage - Personal Transportation

01/14/2025

As a Native Of DFW, a veteran of the hospitality industry, and a lover of food, I've always kept my taste buds on the restaurant scene around Dallas. From amazing restaurants that have stood the test of time, to hole in the wall places, that have amazing cuisine, and new places popping up everywhere that influencers are raving about. With Clay's Carriage, I'm all over the metroplex enjoying cuisine in many fine establishments, and some small places that do food really well. I'm happy to Share my knowledge with you.
Periodically I'm going to list a few, from different types of food, and price points. From all over the metroplex, mostly from the Eastern side of the Metroplex. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I have. These future posts will be titled "Clay's Choices"

Clay's Choices # 1
Comfort Food
Celebration, Lovers Lane, Dallas
This Dallas culinary institution has been around forever or so it seems. Atleast long enough to perfect their menu. From Chicken fried steak to Chicken Caroline, or Red Snapper, you can't miss. Fantastic sides and desserts as well. If you love coconut cream pie, this is your spot!

Po' Melvins, Beltline rd, Irving
Originally located in a repurposed Dairy Queen, this Irving tradition has since moved to a larger and much more comfy digs. Their Lousiana roots give the food a little cajun flare, Serving the best Po' Boys in the metroplex, the Roast beef will have you wearing gravy to your elbows. Delicious Chicken fried steak and chicken, and fried seafood, and savory gumbo, so good on these frigid days we've been subjected to lately. Great greens, yams,red beans and rice and award winning black eyed peas paired with Jalepeno cornbread. Don't leave without sharing some cobbler with that special someone. I stop here regularly when I'm around DFW airport. This is a restaurant that's been passed down from one generation, Melvin Lemane, to his kids, Mel and Michele, and they do their old man proud. Your taste buds and stomach will thank me.

Hey yall, I want express my gratitude to all of yall who have donated, shared, and prayed to help me out during the most challenging time of my life. Ive had quite a few setbacks during treatments, from the inability to eat, causing the loss of about a hundred pounds leading to the loss of strength and extreme weakness, leading to having a feeding tube put in and then mishaps by the VA causing imbalances in my electrolytes, and another trip to the hospital. All of this has caused delays in my treatments which should have been finished by now, but will continue until November 5th. This will further slow my recovery time even further. In my research and talking to my doctors its looking like it will take atleast three to four moths of recovery, so I'm looking at hopefully getting back on the road and back to work by February at the earliest. Because of all these delays, I am going to need further financial assistance. If yall have the means to donate further, share this page, or lend me the power of your prayers, I would greatly appreciate any avenue you may be able assist with. I hate even having to ask, yall have been so generous and so amazing, but the world doesnt stop spinning, and my bills havent stopped coming. I love yall and appreciate yall more than yall know. May God bless yall more than yall have blessed me, Clay

Hey yall, a few months ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 oral cancer. I started treatment last week with a mixture of targeted radiation and chemotherapy. I have 6 more weeks of treatment. The first dose of chemo left me extremely fatigued and realizing it would no longer be safe to transport anyone until I have recovered from these treatments.
This is my sole source of income and no longer a viable one. A dear friend put together a Gofundme to help out, to help cover expenses while I go through this treatment and recovery period. I know times are tough right now, If you have anything to give, no matter how small, I would appreciate it. If not, could you send a prayer or positive thought my way. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and God Bless, Clay

I am reaching out to you today to ask for your support for a dear friend, c… Frank Wolfe needs your support for Support Clay Eakins' Battle with Throat Cancer
