This weekend, Goodtaste heads to a North Texas treasure trove of some of the biggest, juiciest cheeseburgers we’ve ever seen! This classic café serves up incredible comfort food, but it’s the enormous five-pound “Bozilla Burger” that draws in diners. Plus, we treat our sweet tooth to pastries from some of the finest bakeries in Texas and dine like country music royalty at a storied honky-tonk. Don’t miss this jam-packed episode!

Tanji’s Wine Finds: Langlois-Chateau Brut

There’s never a wrong time to pop a bottle of bubbly! The Langlois-Chateau Brut ($20) is a Crémant from a region in France with a long tradition of producing lively, bright sparklings. Similar to Champagne, Crémants have lovely finesse and delicate bubbles, but at a fraction of the price. The acidity from a glass of this Brut would expertly cut through the richness of a dish like our Baked Chicken-Artichoke Dip. Pick up this bottle at your local H-E-B and catch the rest of Tanji’s picks this weekend!

Make This Now: Mozie’s Crispy Panko Chicken

This hearty recipe from Mozie’s in Gruene is a real crowd-pleaser. It gets extra crunch from seasoned panko breading and nutty undertones from freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Top it all off with Mozie’s special recipe for Creamy Chipotle Sauce and serve it on a bed of pasta or rice—any variety will work great. Get the recipe HERE!
