There’s new life, new optimism and lots of delicious new beginnings along our Texas coast. Hurricane Harvey’s devastation last year is slowly fading away. In this week’s new episode of Goodtaste, we’ll take you to the coast where you’ll see that your favorite restaurants are back! I was so touched by their stories, so inspired! I think you will be too.
Our first stop is Venetian Hot Plate, an authentic Northern Italian restaurant owned by a woman who grew up in Venice, Italy. After seeing the distruction of her Port A eatery, she knew she had to reopen. Lucky for us, she did.
Then, we visit owner Greg Villasana at La Playa Mexican Grille. Here, proof that the Lord above has a sense of humor. You’ll want to watch to hear about his wall of tequila that miraculously was sparred. 🙂
Our last stop is a family-owned favorite, Shells Pasta & Seafood. This intimate spot has been a fixture of the Port Aransas community since 1996, and their fantastic food is back and better than ever.
Don’t miss this week’s inspiring stories and some fantastic, must-try food. Find your Goodtaste with Tanji showtime below.

Hi Debbie-
Yes, right now we are only in Texas…with one exception–Nashville. What city are you in?
Can’t find the spot to register for free trip to Houston
Here ya go… https://www.goodtaste.tv/giveaways/win-a-romantic-spa-weekend-at-the-houstonian/
My favourite show. After watching Texas Coast episode, I’m planning a trip real soon.
Nancy- thank you so much for the feedback. 🙂
the first half of our recording of the Texas Coast episode, broadcast on K-EYE in Austin over the weekend, was preempted. So we missed the first 2 spots. Is the entire episode available to view online?
Yes…you can catch the entire episode here https://www.goodtaste.tv/2018/09/24/goodtaste-with-tanji-season-4-episode-2/
Been enjoying your show in San Antonio and will be traveling to Houston soon. Is there a list of the places you have highlighted in Houston as I do not remember them but would like to go to some?
Hi Steve – I don’t have a ‘list’ per se, but on this link a number of them are featured….https://www.goodtaste.tv/category/destinations/greater-houston/ If you can tell me what part of town you’ll be dining in, I’m happy to hone the suggestion down for you a bit… 🙂
Can I see this in Dallas? Love Venetian Hot Plate ❤️
Hi Sarah-
We are not in Dallas, but we do have all of our episodes here, online. 🙂
So we took a trip to Port Aransas and ate dinner at the Venetian Hot Plate. We were very sad to learn they had a new executive chef since your show ;( We also ate at the Black Marlin which is worth your visiting. Also check out Verdes off Hamilton Pool road. They offer a unique offering of Tex Mex!
Great show and great website. We love trying the new recipes and pairing them w/wine from H.E.B. LOT’S OF FUN ! CHEERS and be SAFE!
