On the 100th episode of The Texas Bucket List we’re stopping at a watering hole in College Station with a unique dedication to service, a general store serving up one heck of a burger, and a tramway with a view so fantastic you’ll have to see it to believe it.
Our first stop is in Aggieland, where there is no shortage of veteran appreciation. At The West End Elixer Company, this town’s military pride is amplified. Owned and operated by a Marine veteran, this watering hole tends to serve as a welcoming place for veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These guys are not only serving up exceptional service and appreciation, but their drinks are artistically made, too.
The burger of the week comes with a side of community bonding at The Kenney Store. This joint is best known for its atmosphere and down home cooking, so just imagine how delicious this burger will be! To our surprise, they serve us a burger you probably haven’t eaten in your mama’s kitchen, but boy was it good. The spinach artichoke burger is a taste of heaven between two buns, and the people sharing the room with you at The Kenney Store are top notch.
This 100th episode of The Texas Bucket List comes to a close in El Paso, where we hop onto a tramway built in 1959. The views from the Wyler Aeriel Tramway are truly breath taking. With a simple four minute ride over half a mile on a gondola we find ourselves at the top of the summit that overlooks the West Texas town of El Paso and more! From here we can see just how blessed we truly are to call ourselves Texans.
