This week on Texas Eats, David Elder visits Spechts Texas, an historic country store which now showcases live music and serves up some gigantic steaks and beers. He learns a little history about the property and samples a hand-cut, grilled ribeye of epic proportions!
Then, David takes us to a no-frills Hawaiian restaurant in Schertz serving some delicious Katsu and other Hawaiian specialties. He speaks with owner, Samson Kalani, about Hawaiian culture and what brought him and his family to Texas.
Then a top-50 Texas BBQ spot, 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio, welcomes David with an insane tray of top-tier BBQ. He speaks with the owner about his craft and how his wife is creating all the baked treats from scratch.
Then it’s off to Waco to indulge in some southern comfort food at Chip and Joanna Gaines’ restaurant, Magnolia Table. He samples the pimento cheeseburger and some delectable sweets.
Next, David heads to Academy Sports + Outdoors for a tour of their BBQ grill section. He grills up some cheeseburgers and learns about an upcoming grilling workshop!
After that, David heads to the newest spot in San Antonio to grab slice, Parry’s Pizzeria and Taphouse. He pairs Shiner beers with perfect pies!
