This week on Texas Eats, David Elder takes us to a traditional New York deli, a San Antonio favorite burger shop and other top-rated restaurants from across the state!
David’s first stop on this foodie adventure is at The Beignet Stand, just off Broadway Avenue in San Antonio. The Beignet Stand serves up all kinds of sweet and savory creations you must see to believe! David talks with the co-owner, Michael Grimes, about the food stand’s history and the inspiration behind the recipes.
After that, David heads to Houston for an authentic New York diner experience at Kenny & Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen! He sits down with the owner, Ziggy Gruber, to discuss the delicatessen’s history and take a look at a gigantic sandwich on the menu!
Next, things heat up in the Texas Eats outdoor kitchen with Chef Ceasar Zepeda, owner of Sangria on the Burg in San Antonio. Chef Ceasar shares a quick and easy recipe for his Green Spaghetti, a poblano chicken pasta you can make at home.
David then takes us to a San Antonio favorite burger joint, Big’z Burgers Joint, to try the Chalupa Burger and other juicy burger creations.
Then, David heads to East Texas to check out some of the enormous platters in Houston at Dot Coffee Shop. David sits with General Manager Angela Martinez as they sample giant omelets, huge juicy burgers, stacked pancakes and other diner staples served hot and fresh.
Next, it’s back to San Antonio for some more breakfast cuisine at local’s favorite, Panchos & Gringos. David sits with the owner, Sergio Calderon, as they tour the menu and get surprised by a seriously spicy salsa.
David rounds things out with a sweet tooth in Southtown San Antonio at Cinnaholic.
