I apologize for the lack of posts recently but had some issues with my new camera and just gave in to buying a new one, dang it!  Here’s another travel edition featuring Goode Company Seafood, BB’s Cajun Cafe, El Pueblito, The Black Labrador, and the Breakfast Klub in Houston, and Chaba and Floyd’s in Beaumont.

I spent a wonderful weekend in the 20 degree weather of New Orleans.  Weather aside, this city is on par with Austin with their live music, great food, and bars, bars, bars.  Check it out below, it’s an epic post!:

This past weekend I was in Fredericksburg for a bachelorette party.  We stayed at Settlers Crossing B&B , voted top 10 bed and breakfast in the US by Travel & Leisure Magazine.  Because of the rain we skipped the winery tour but made it to Alamo Springs Cafe, The Nest, and Luckenbach.  Just an hour [...]

While laying out reading Texas Monthly (I swear I am not on their payroll) in Port Aransas Friday morning, I read that #44 on the list of top 50 burgers of Texas came from Port Aransas Brewing Company.  Lunch it was then!  The burger, bun, and sweet potato fries were delicious.  The place is no [...]

I was in St. Louis last weekend and it’s all about the baseball and Italian food in the Show Me state.  While I had two weddings so could not partake in the food, I was certainly going to catch a Cardinals game!

When my St. Louis friends asked what I was doing for Memorial Weekend, I said the coast.  They asked ‘east or west.’  Oh no, this is the Texas Coast on the Gulf of Mexico.  It’s a different world down there!  Port Aransas is a 4 hour drive from Austin and a little taste of the [...]

Just returned from Chicago which explains why the site was not updated yesterday and I have some good tips for Austin travelers!  When in Chicago, you must:
Attend a Second City show.  This theatre has launched the careers of John Belushi, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Chris Farley, Stephen Colbert, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fay, Steve Carell, and [...]

Just 45 minutes outside of Austin in the Pedernales River Valley in the Hill Country near Johnson City is the Texas Hills Vineyard, home to the first Pinot Grigio in Texas!  But don’t ask for Pinot Noir, Texas weather is not conducive to growing these specific grapes.  I recommend the Kick Butt Cab and the cheese plate [...]

Another weekend, another trip to the coast:
I stayed in a house on the bay but my friends Scott & Brigid stayed at the glorious Port Aransas Inn where in true Port A style, Whitesnake is constantly blaring at the pool.  Your eyes are not tricking you, the Inn is neon pink.  Rooms are $90/night but [...]
