This week on our Halloween edition of The Texas Bucket List, we seek out some legendary monsters and aliens and try out some fiery cuisine from the underworld all in our quest to conquer the eerie and unnatural.

First we pull our The Texas Bucket List mystery mobile into Dave’s Pawn out in the dusty Chihuahuan Desert. Are the stuffed remains of some infamous creepy monsters on display real or not? Buyer beware, you get to decide!

No smoke can be seen billowing from the outside, but there’s definitely an inferno in the kitchen at the Coyote Bluff Café in Amarillo! Can you brave a bite of the Burger from Hell?

The Cornell Hurn Band sings “It’s All Downhill From Here” from the historic Broken Spoke in Austin and last but not least, we pay our respects to the grave site of Ned, the alien from Aurora who crash-landed in the 1800s and whose legend still lives on today.

On this episode of The Texas Bucket List, we appeal to our appetite and gustatory gusto with some of Texas’s more tantalizing varieties of libations and cuisine.
First, we whet our whistles on some wine from the oldest vineyard in Texas, the Val Verde Winery in Del Rio. These vines put down their first roots in 1883 and while they may not make the elixir of life, they’ve certainly aged well to bring you one award-winning beverage.
It’s certainly eat, drink, and be merry in San Angelo at Miss Hattie’s Restaurant and Cathouse Lounge! Our taste buds were yowling for the Miss Hattie Brothel Burger, featuring bacon, jalapenos, red peppers, and aioli mayo that will make you burn for another bite.
Next, we’re back in the vineyards as Mando Salas hearkens back to his hometown in his song “Del Rio.”
At the end of the day, nothing tastes better than home cooking – and in Sweetwater, you’ll get all the flavor of home-grown eats at Allen’s Family Style Meals. We finish off our taste-filled tour of Texas with all the fixin’s and some southern fried chicken, so crunchy and flavorful it just might beat your grandma’s recipe.

This week on The Texas Bucket List we reach new heights, refine our palate with some fresh Hawaiian flavor, and take part in a celebration that’s been around since as long as Native tribes can remember.
First we scale all 48 steps of the World’s Smallest Skyscraper in Wichita Falls, and the only thing that leaves us breathless is the view at the top. This skyscraper boasts four floors large enough for an art gallery, a boutique, and a “penthouse,” so you won’t be disappointed by its small stature once you take a look inside!
Then we grab a burger at Ciao Down, and we get to chowing down on the Big Kahuna. You’d better get your grass skirts and leis ready for this burger, because it’s a luau party on your taste buds!

For a little taste of retribution we listen to Morgan Ashley’s “What Goes Around Comes Around,” a country song with some country sass.
Lastly, we attend the Sacred Springs Powwow in San Marcos, where an indigenous people native to Texas began. Most importantly, they continue their legacy to this day by coming together and passing on the traditions to the next generation to keep their culture alive and thriving in the community and the nation alike.

This week on The Texas Bucket List, we’ve got a flashy man-cave that’s every chrome cruiser’s dream, a grocery with some home-grown grub, country music with some slick southern twang, and a little slice of Heavon on Earth called………….Earth.

First we head out to the Hemi Hideout that’s got no shortage of neon lights and classic chrome for the car enthusiast or those looking for the bright light not of a neon moon, but a neon constellation all collected in a barn in Brookshire.

Next we chow down at Fugler’s Grocery in Marshall, close to the border with Louisiana, to graze on the Bubba Burger, a burger with a big ole’ beef patty that’s been patted on the grill for three generations.

Zane Williams brings us some traditional two-steppin’ country tunes with his song “Bringing Country Back.”

We round out the day landing in Earth – the town in Texas, that is. Turns out there’s a neat community of people there who not only love their town, but the name that’s brought spectators from all over the Earth to come and sit for a visit.

This week on The Texas Bucket List we stop at a food lover’s delight, eat some hamburgers with some historic beef, listen to some country lyrics, and visit the birthplace of one of our country’s most popular leaders.

First we make a list at Ruben’s Grocery in McAllen of some fancy fine cuisine as well as worldwide oddities that are sure to trip your taste buds into a global flavor sensation. It’s a foodie’s paradise for everything unique and delicious!

Next we get our Space Jam on for a burger of the same name at Svante’s in Round Rock.  This restaurant sells nothing but it’s own Texas bred, grass-fed beef than’s been raised by the Swenson family since the 1800s.

For some Texas music we head to the Grand Stafford in downtown Bryan and listen to Brad Gomez croon his country tunes to “It’s Just Lonely.”

Our last stop ends where it all began for the 34^th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site in Denison marks the moment in history when a great leader was born and stands as a testimony to his life works and achievements.

Howdy and welcome back to The Texas Bucket List!

This summer we hit the road to bring you a brand new list of things you have to see, do, and experience before you kick the bucket.

For our seventh season premiere we start things off in Pottsboro, near Lake Texoma, where we’ve got the scoop on a sandbox for the big kids.  It’s called the Extreme Sandbox and it gives construction equipment fans a chance to play with these massive pieces of equipment.

Then we head to Abilene for burger that pops! Rockn Rollerz is a burger bistro based out of Buffalo Gap, that happens to be a mobile food truck.  Their burger the Poppin’ Johnny is as colorful as these creative burger makers.

Josh Ward will sing us some soulful southern tunes and we’ll find a place to park it for the evening that happens to be a hotel that has housed some of the old Hollywood greats.

We mosey to Marfa for a stay at the Hotel Paisano and even sleep in the same room James Dean did.

Load up your ride, saddle up, and get ready to make your way across the state to add some new places to The Texas Bucket List!
