Cali-Style Burritos in SA, New Restaurant at the Pearl & Huge Cinnamon Rolls

Texas Eats Season 4, Episode 5: David shares a grilled romaine lettuce and steak recipe + gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches

You can watch “Texas Eats” on Saturdays at 10 a.m. on KSAT 12, KSAT.com, and KSAT Plus, our free streaming app.

This week on Texas Eats, David Elder takes us to New Braunfels for some of the best seafood you can find in Central Texas at McAdoo’s Seafood Company.

David samples seafood fondue and fresh raw oysters over cocktails with Executive Chef Obed Magana.

Next, David takes us to the newest restaurant in The Pearl District, Carriqui.

David samples smoked cabrito, brisket, and seafood with Executive Chef Jaime Gonzalez, as they discuss the inspiration behind the menu.

After that, David hits the road to Katy for some gourmet grilled cheese at Twisted Grilled Cheese. David tries a Philly Grilled Cheese, a Breakfast Grilled Cheese, and other cheesy, gooey creations!

Next up, David cures his sweet tooth at Old Fashioned Sticky Buns, a San Antonio café specializing in over-the-top sticky buns and cinnamon rolls.

David then heads to Houston to sit with James Beard Award Finalist Chef Chris Williams to sample the menu at his restaurant Lucille’s in the museum district.

Chef Williams serves refined southern cuisine, including a delicious chicken fried steak so good that David nearly loses his seat!

Then, David heats things up in the Texas Eats Outdoor Kitchen with a quick and easy recipe for a grilled romaine and ribeye steak salad.

David wraps things up on the Northwest Side of San Antonio with some loaded California-style burritos at Stuffed!
