November 1, 2018 by Shane McAuliffe

On this week’s brand new episode of The Texas Bucket List, host Shane McAuliffe will be scrounging through a store that gets its products from the local airport, eat some delicious homemade Tex-Mex, and visit a museum dedicated to Roy Orbison.

This Week on The Texas Bucket List – Kolaches, the Super Panda, and Cadilite Jewelry

October 11, 2018 by Shane McAuliffe

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.

This Week on The Texas Bucket List – Beef Cattle Short Course, Nokona Factory, Ol’ Railroad Cafe

April 17, 2018 by Shane McAuliffe

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

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!
