We head to some of my favorite hotspots in Texas on an ALL-NEW episode of Goodtaste.
Bring a hearty appetite to the legendary Freiheit Country Store in New Braunfels! We fill up on comfort food classics with a side of great Texas tunes. Join Tanji as she tries the crispy, hand-breaded fried mushrooms with homemade ranch dressing, bacon-covered tater tots, and the hand-breaded chicken fried steak smothered in country gravy. We also go BIG with the famous Freiheit Extreme Burger—a half-pound burger loaded with crispy bacon, melty cheese, mushrooms and grilled onions—and meet a man who has eaten one every Saturday for over 300 weeks!
As the name implies, wine and pork fanatics will find plenty to enjoy at Cork & Pig Tavern in Irving! Along with their extensive list of bottles, they also have inventive dishes like the brunch-famous Fruity Pebbles French Toast and an epic pizza called “The Pig” that’s topped with pepperoni, pancetta and pork sausage. We also love the “So Cal” pizza layered with fontina, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and a rich garlic and cream sauce.
Explore the far-away flavors of India at Houston’s Kiran’s! A clever mix of modern techniques and traditional ways of cooking, Chef Kiran Verma’s style makes her one of the pioneers of Indian cooking in the city. Enjoy superb takes on classics like chicken tikka masala and saag paneer, as you nibble on fresh-baked naan and palak chaat with tempura-fried herbs and apple-and-mint chutney!
Don’t miss out on all of the action—and some incredible H-E-B wines!
