If you visit a great food city, do you eat several lunches and dinners each day just to make sure you try all the best restaurants? Most people do. No wonder we pack on the pounds on vacation! But this is good news for Lufkin and Nacogdoches restaurants

Saturday, December 30th is National Bacon Day, and we'll give you some ideas about ways to celebrate right here in East Texas. As if you needed a nudge.

If you don't really feel like cooking after unwrapping all of those Alexa devices and Fingerlings on Christmas morning, you'll have plenty of options for going out. Most of your favorite spots will be open on Christmas Eve, and there are several that will also be open on Christmas Day.

Imagine going out for lunch and when the bill comes, you decide what to pay. A restaurant that works on the honor system and allows you to pay what you can, has popped up in Fort Worth. Could East Texas be next?

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.

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!
