Sit back and relax as we take you through an exciting new episode of The Texas Bucket List!

This week on The Texas Bucket List we’ve got one haunting episode! We will be embracing our spooky side  as we dare to make a visit at a location used in the film Texas Chainsaw Massacre which serves up barbecue and haunting overnight stays. At We Slaughter BBQ, also known as The Gas Station in Bastrop, you can satisfy both your hunger and your horror film-loving side.

Then we will stop in at Gidget’s Sandwich Shack in Wichita Falls, which is serving up sandwiches of monstrous proportions made with waffles! Don’t let the size spook you, the flavor of the sandwich is to die for.

Finally, we will test our sense of direction by getting lost in a corn maze dedicated to the Astros at P-6 farms in Montgomery. This family-run experience embraces all of the fun aspects of the season and brings families together for a fun-filled visit.

Stay tuned for this week’s episode of The Texas Bucket List to see how you can enhance your fall experience this season!

This week on The Texas Bucket List, it’s a feast for the eyes and the stomach as we behold both culinary and Cadillac artistic delights, starting at a bakery with some pastries that almost­­ look too good to eat, an art gallery with some unique repurposed materials, and a monstrous meaty delight of a burger that is a tremendous feat for the customer to eat.

We start the day off with breakfast at the Two Czech Chicks bakery in Danbury trying out a Lone Star State staple that has festivals dedicated to its consumption across the state: the kolache. This recipe has been handed down from the culinary matriarch of the Sykora family and has a flavor that you won’t want to miss!

At our next stop we might have bit off more than we could chew at Panda Burgers in El Paso. You name it, their burger has it. From quesadilla to chorizo to avocado, this burger will bust your belt and is sure to satisfy.

Next Nathan Bonnes brings us “Back in My Arms Tonight,” singing his original country music composition.

On our last stop we head up to Amarillo to the Lile Art Gallery, where we meet up with the owner “Crocodile” Lile as he gets crafty with some Cadillac Ranch acrylic to create some charming pieces of Cadilite jewelry.  Just like the nickname of the artist himself, these trinkets are every bit as unique as the material from which they are made.

For the 5th episode of The Texas Bucket List, we are taking you up and down our great state to taste delicious wine, chow down on mouth-watering burgers, and learn some history near the Gulf Coast.

First, we are at Llano Estacado Winery in Lubbock, where professors at Texas Tech University helped start what is now the largest winery in the state.

Next, we’ll visit our Bite of the Week in Plano where you can find a burger like no other at a restaurant with a equally unique name, Ye Ole Butcher Shop.

Finally, we’ll swing down to Southeast Texas to take a tour of the history-soaked Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur. Sports, history, and music fans alike will take great joy in getting a look at all that the museum has to offer.

Settle in for three stops that will leave you reaching for your wine glasses, burger buns, and history books!

We are now four episodes deep into season 11 of The Texas Bucket List! That means that we are back to show you the best and most deeply rooted, and deeply fried, places to eat and experience in the Lone Star State!

First, we’ll giddy on up to King’s Ranch in Kingsville where the centuries old art of saddle making is still alive and well.

Next, we’ll take a trip to Delia’s Tamales, where hard work and a dream-come-true can be tasted in the form of mouthwatering tamales.

Finally, we will try out some well-known steak fingers at Buddy’s in Andrews, Texas. These aren’t your everyday steak fingers and certainly deserve a spot on our Bite of the Week list.

Sit back and relax as we take you through Texas on this week’s episode of The Texas Bucket List!

Welcome back to a new, exciting, and unique episode of The Texas Bucket List!

This week’s destinations are unique to the Lone Star State, and you certainly don’t want to miss out.

First, we’ll travel down to the hometown of the Houston Astros, World Series Champions, to take a look at a divine church nestled right next to the Stadium. This angelic location, called Annunciation Catholic Church, sells Astro-themed rosaries, approved by baseball fans and the Pope.

Next, we’ll indulge our taste buds at this week’s Bite of the Week, Henry’s Puffy Tacos in San Antonio! Their infamous puffy tacos draws curious cuisine consumers from far and wide to take a bite of this unique Tex-Mex experience.

Finally, we’ll blow on over to the Train Car Cigar Bar in Big Spring which is serving up a laid back atmosphere, cocktails and cigars. This stop is a popular lounge and hang-out spot, even for non-smokers, that can’t be missed.

Sit back and relax as we introduce you to the sights, tastes and people who make Texas so special. There’s nothing like traveling though the Lone Star State, and there’s definitely nothing like The Texas Bucket List!

Get ready to experience Texas like you’ve never seen it before as we explore the most tasty and historic locations the Lone Star State has to offer!

First up, we’ll get blown away as we visit Aermotor Windmill, a windmill making company that is the only of its kind.

Next, we’ll check out the Bite of the Week, Barrera’s Fried Chicken! This coastal classic will have you scrambling back for another taste of their crunchy specialty.  Tylar Bryant will sing a song and we’re visiting our roots by checking out the Come and Take It cannon housed in the Gonzales Memorial Museum. This incredible historic artifact helped shape Texas into the great state it is today! 

Come along with us on The Texas Bucket List as we show you the best experiences and tastes Texas has to offer. Whatever you do, remember don’t go kicking the bucket!

 

This week on The Texas Bucket List we are diving into some American classics from burgers to baseball and good old fashion Texas barbecue!

First up, we visit Nocona to take a look at a small baseball glove factory called Nokona. This is one of the only baseball glove factories left in the United States, making quality creations for a small but devoted clientele.

We ride the rails to Rosenberg for a really big burger  at the Ol’ Railroad Cafe appropriately named the Hobo Burger.

Then we cruise through College Station, home of Texas A&M University. Lovingly referred to by students as Aggieland, we learn that this college town is known for more than just the school. It is famous among ranchers for the Beef Cattle Short Course where anyone can come and learn about raising cattle or just settle in for a delicious steak dinner.

So sit back and relax for this weekly edition of The Texas Bucket List!
