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, fresh raw oysters, and 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!

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!

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