This week on Texas Eats, David Elder goes on a road trip to check out the grand opening of the newly renovated Buc-ee’s in Luling, TX. With this, Buc-ee’s reclaims the “biggest in the world” title from Tennessee. Before you head out, make sure to upgrade your ride with some new rims, new rails, and more when you stop by Gil’s Tires and Wheels.

In Castroville, Blu Lacy Smokehouse and Baked are serving up amazing BBQ bites and fresh baked goodness.

If you’re feeling the Texas heat or need a sweet treat, Tropicana Ice Cream will help keep you cool! Or if you’re looking for something hot, Mr. Ramen’s got you covered.
