Issue No. 1265: July 8, 2022
Who needs a vacation? This weekend, we’re bringing the beach to you. Join us as we dine at a breezy lakeside hut, eat fresh-caught seafood near the coast, and get our fill of Gulf shrimp on an oak-tree-shaded patio. Lather on the sunscreen and pour yourself a cocktail because it’s time to kick back and relax, summer-style!

More Goodtaste This Weekend!
This weekend, we’re packing our bags and heading to the outskirts of the Alamo City to visit an American-style grill that turns out crispy fried onion chips, cheesy griddled burgers, and Gulf shrimp every which way while live music plays. Next, we say “Aloha” to a breezy lakeside hut in Austin. You’d never guess that this little oasis serving Tex-Mex dishes with a Polynesian twist is nestled right in the middle of the state’s capital! Finally, we make our way to Galveston, where people come from all over to try a special spot’s giant prime steaks, fresh-caught seafood, and epic desserts. Find the episode trailer and your showtime HERE.

Tanji’s Wine Finds: Anciano Garnacha
Smooth and soft with notes of black currant and blackberries, Anciano Garnacha ($10) pairs beautifully with barbecue, salmon, poultry, and other summer grill-out favorites. This pour’s touch of sweet spice would work wonderfully with our Pork and Green Chile Burgers with Red Cabbage Slaw for a casual Friday feast. Find it now at your local H-E-B!

Make This Now: Vargas Cut and Catch’s Chocolate Coffee Cake
Vargas Cut and Catch serves up seafood alongside epic desserts, like the “Paco Dome,” a slice of chocolate coffee cake topped with cinnamon ice cream. The whole thing is encased in a thin dome of chocolate, which topples once drizzled with hot chocolate sauce! Believe it or not, this showstopping dessert is easy enough to make at home—find the recipe HERE.
