This weekend brings us another delicious episode of Goodtaste!
In the heart of Fredericksburg, world-class restaurant Hill & Vine has sprouted up, with an amazing menu starring the state of Texas itself! You’ll be mesmerized by the over-the-top presentation of every plate, like the Smoked Carnitas Nachos, with slow-smoked pork, herbed goat cheese, smoked cheddar, and Hatch chile salsa—they just might be the best nachos ever! Texas wines and spirits make up the “Vine” portion of the name here, with crafty cocktails like the refreshing Snake in My Boot. Here, Lone Star ingredients shine big-time!
When you visit 1860 Italia in College Station, you don’t need to speak Italian … but you’ll sure taste Italy in every bite! Dig into traditional favorites like spaghetti and meatballs, spicy pepperoni pizza, and authentic lasagna—a favorite of legendary Texas A&M football coach R. C. Slocum. The restaurant’s Cajun chef puts his own unique spin on such dishes as the popular Lobster Carbonara, bathed in garlic butter and truffle cream sauce.
Grilled fish is great, but it can be tricky to make at home. We’re all looking to stretch a dollar, and while whole fish is more economical, it also poses more challenges on the grill. Here, The Original Black’s Barbecue shows us how you can do it in your own kitchen, with some special tips on producing the most flavor.
We all have our favorite comfort foods, but this time of year, you might be trying to cut back in that area. Our “magician in the kitchen,” Sysco’s Executive Global Chef Neil Doherty, offers a guilt-free alternative to traditional lasagna that he’s sharing this week with Goodtaste viewers! Packed with what may be the best Italian sausage in America and a surprising superfood, this is one dish you’re going to love more and more with each bite.
And Tanji’s in-the-kitchen segment this week is with Mike Hall, Executive Chef of Hill & Vine, who shares his favorite kitchen tool why he loves it so much.
Top off the week with this episode’s H-E-B wine finds!
