Tacos & Tequila, Please!

Issue No. 1286: August 26, 2022

I hope you’re hungry, because this weekend’s episode of Goodtaste is packed with great eats! First, I enjoy a fine-dining feast cooked by some young up-and-coming chefs. Then I dig into one of the most epic versions of mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted and sip a thirst-quenching margarita on a shaded patio. Don’t forget to tune in!

Cheers,

Tanji

This weekend, we’re dining at a student-run restaurant in San Antonio that serves up amazing five-course meals. Then we’re off to a triple-threat spot in Kerrville with an addictive twist on mac and cheese (psst, we have the recipe!) before soaking up the sun on a lush patio in Baytown with unbelievable watermelon margaritas. You don’t want to miss any of it. Watch the full episode trailer HERE.

Tanji’s Wine Finds: The Franc Cabernet Franc

Tonight, pour yourself a glass of The Franc Cabernet Franc ($14), a full-bodied wine with a deep crimson hue that’s bursting with notes of dark berries and plums. There’s a touch of spice and black pepper on the finish, which makes it a perfect pairing for anything that hits the grill, like our Pork and Green Chile Burgers with Red Cabbage Slaw. Get a bottle now at your local H-E-B!
