Issue No. 1304: October 7, 2022

Come with me on a trip around Texas this weekend! I visit college towns throughout the Lone Star State and try some of their top restaurants’ signature dishes. Did I mention that I got the recipes to share? Don’t miss all the good fun, good food, and really good wine. And don’t forget—a new season of Goodtaste kicks off NEXT WEEK! I can’t wait to share all my latest bites and travels with you.

Cheers!

This weekend, we show our Aggie pride at a 24-hour joint in College Station with tacos so filling, they’re fit for a football player. Then we visit one of the best fine dining establishments in Lubbock, where we meet the certified sommelier who owns the place. Up next, we head to Austin to try the gooiest grilled cheese sandwiches that have Longhorns lining up out the door. Lastly, we stop at the home of the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth for a breakfast spot serving up famous German pancakes. You don’t want to miss any of it! Watch the full episode trailer HERE.

Tanji’s Wine Finds: 19 Crimes’ The Warden

Craving a unique bottle of wine for the weekend? Grab The Warden from 19 Crimes ($16), a rich and full-bodied red with fruit-forward notes of plum, currant, and a hint of cinnamon on the finish. This bottle pairs nicely with a stacked burger, pork chops, or anything from the grill (like our Eggplant Parm Boats). Get it now at your local H-E-B and tune in this weekend for more of Tanji’s wine finds!

Make This Now: Ol’ South’s World-Famous German Pancakes

Breakfast just got a whole lot more fun! Ol’ South was kind enough to share the recipe for their World-Famous German Pancakes, which are plate-sized, fluffy confections that can feed a crowd. Be sure to allow the batter to rest overnight, as the extra time will allow it to develop a stronger flavor! Get the recipe HERE.
