I am passionate about food... all aspects of it; the
lore, the traditions, the recipes as long as it has
a Texas connection. Most of all, the luxurious enjoyment
of food whether in cowboy boots or dressed like some
damn Yankee. Join me as we experience gourmet recipes,
step-by-step lessons, and simply the best fare that
Texas has to offer.

What
many people fail to realize is that Texas
cuisine doesn't end with fantastic food.
Our state has a thriving viniculture industry.
That's right, wine! Wines that have been
produced here for hundreds of years. The
sunny, dry climate has been compared to
Portuguese grape growing areas.
