When she was on Food Network, Paula Deen was known as a queen of southern cookin', and she's always had a lock on Georgia with a Savannah-based restaurant. Now two Paula Deen restaurants are coming to Texas, and they'll open up in a few weeks.

When you think brunch, what's the first food that pops into your mind? Omelets, pancakes, and bacon are on every brunch buffet it seems, but there's something new that Texans are doing with avocados now that's getting a lot of attention. And it's avocado sacrilege to some!

Some say pie-making is a lost art since not many of us take the time to do it from scratch these days. So, when we find pies that are ooey, gooey, flaky, and perfect, we must give the bakers some love. These are the best pies in Texas y'all. See if you agree.

One day or even a week isn't enough for Americans to celebrate and appreciate everything our military has done for us, but Veterans Day is coming November 11.

Texans can be big eaters, and sometimes that saves us money. How about a little weekend challenge? If you can polish off a monster burger at one restaurant in Nacogdoches, the meal is free. And it's just one of the Texas restaurants on a long list that will give you the opportunity to eat your way to victory.

There are many Dairy Queen locations that will close soon because of financial troubles, but there is a bright side. The locations that survive will be dishing up a brand new Oreo Hot Cocoa Blizzard, along with that beloved Candy Cane Chill Blizzard this winter. You'll just have to know where to go to find 'em.

A lot of Texas restaurants have secret menus, but this hidden Whataburger menu has some interesting twists. It will flip the ever-popular chicken and waffle idea on its head, and it will give you a veggie burger like you've never seen before. Prepare yourself.

Kids can start planning their strategies now, and make a scary face pancake at IHOP Tuesday, using fruit, candy, and cookies. This will be fun. And FREE. Let the sugar loading begin!

We love a holiday based on food. Texas is celebrating the greatness of chicken fried steak today (Thursday, October 26th), and that makes us wonder where you're gettin' yours. Some of these places serve up chicken fried steaks that are bigger than our heads!

It took nine years. Somehow a Texas man intercepted enough fajita deliveries to rack up a $1.2 million tab, and the plot was only foiled because he was out at a medical appointment one day and wasn't there to receive the usual delivery. I'm curious too. What in the world did he do with all those fajitas?

Don't you hate it when you love love love a restaurant and it becomes your go-to spot, but it doesn't last? It's worth high-fiving the East Texas restaurants that stand the test of time. Many of them are Mom and Pop restaurants that are passed down through generations. Can you name some of them?

On a road trip across East Texas, maybe you've had Cowboy Melt, or the Black and Blue burger at this place. Now Jucy's Hamburgers is adding new things to that comfort-food-menu-of-greatness like veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches, and they've got plans to open up more restaurants across East Texas that could bring them to Lufkin. Yum!
