Issue No. 1223: April 1, 2022
This weekend on Goodtaste, I’ll take you on a journey to find the best bites across the state! We visit a buzzy spot in Katy with to-die-for surf and turf dishes like Wagyu Beef with Fried Lobster and Crab Cakes with Creamed Corn. Then we go in search of the best pizza around and some local Cajun eats. Don’t worry—I didn’t forget the wine! Find it all below.

Cheers to the weekend!

More Goodtaste This Weekend!
This weekend, Goodtaste visits a restaurant outside of Houston with bright, modern décor and clever dishes like Elote Caesar, a kicked-up Caesar salad topped with Mexican street corn and cornbread croutons. We also get a taste of Cajun country in West Texas, where we dig into dishes like “The Dirty Bird” (crispy deep-fried chicken with dirty rice and “bayou” gravy) and an empanada-style hand pie stuffed with spicy crawfish and smothered in étouffée. Then, from the Panhandle to the Port of Houston, we track down some of the absolute best pizza in Texas! Don’t miss a bite. Find the episode trailer and your showtime HERE.
Tanji’s Wine Finds: Whimsical Bubbles Brut
This week’s find is the ultimate party wine to celebrate spring! Say hello to Whimsical Bubbles Brut ($11), a dry but fruit-forward wine, perfect for toasting on the patio. As an added bonus, the alcohol level is only 11%, so you can sip on it all evening. Find it at your local H-E-B!
