‘Good Ole Boys’ & Good Times at Mozie’s
I absolutely love Mozie’s, the new restaurant in Gruene, Texas. Pat Molak and the gang did an incredible job restoring this 100+ year old building. And the food is delicious. It’s hard to choose between the decadently, deliciously greasy sliders and the fresh chicken salad — then there are those amazing little ribs.
Jalapeno chips on the Riverwalk at Boudro’s
Happy Fiesta everyone!! I’ve found the most incredible new side dish at Boudro’s. Sure, they’re known for their tableside zesty guacamole and delicious food, but wait till you try the Jalepeno Chips! These things are incredible. Chef Nelson Gonzales shows you how, plus check out their juicy grilled Texas quail…
A New Place in Gruene
There’s a new place in Gruene…ya gotta check out. It’s Mozies’ bar and grill. The building dates back to 1903 – a lot’s changed but a lot hasn’t – original floors, windows, walls… but wait till you see the incredibly loooong bar!
Fall Creek Vineyards
I’ve got a fun road trip for you today. It’s one of Texas oldest wineries in the beautiful Hill Country near Lake Buchanan.
Check out Fall Creek Vineyards – It’s about 20 minutes north of Marble Falls. Ask to see their famous Louis Pasteur doors.
Becker Vineyards
If you want a true Texas wine experience with about the friendliest people you’ll find anywhere, Becker Vineyards just east of Fredericksburg is the place you won’t want to miss.
Bats and Burgers
Many say it’s the best hamburger in Texas – and right next door a show your entire family will enjoy! Make plans to visit Alamo Springs Cafe and spend some time at the historic tunnel nearby – especially in the evening when the bats are heading out for the night!
