Welcome to Week 5 of the Tailgate Tour. This week I am bringing you the annual battle between The University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Oklahoma Sooners. This was the 105th meeting between these two teams in a rivalry that goes back to 1900. The game is played in the Cotton Bowl on…
This past weeken,d I was in Dallas for the 5th stop on the Tailgating Tour. The Red River Rivalry takes place every year on the fairgrounds of The State Fair of Texas. The Cotton Bowl holds the game between Texas and Oklahoma, but the fair is full of other activities for all ages! This was…
At the beginning of April, I was lucky enough to spend a week in Austin, TX. Although I grew up in Charlotte, I was actually born in Austin. I only lived there for about 8 months, so I do not remember it. I will always call Charlotte home, but technically Austin is my original home….
I showed you my BBQ adventure to Salt Lick, but to really understand what Texans call BBQ, a trip to the BBQ capital of Texas was necessary. BBQ capital of Texas you ask? Is there such a thing? Tweet Pin It

I would like to introduce you to Marilyn Monroe. Well the cupcake at least. hey cupcake was not the only cupcakes that I discovered in Austin. I also had the fortune of coming across Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop. I had the Michael Jackson at hey cupcake!, so it only made sense to sample Sugar Mama’s celebrity…
On my tour of South Congress Street in Austin, I came across the old Central Feed and Seed building. This building no longer contains feed and seed, but instead has some pretty amazing tacos and home to Guero’s Taco Bar. Tweet Pin It
There are certain stores that are “meccas” for people. If you love malls then the Mall of America in Minneapolis is a place you have to visit, jewelry then the Tiffany’s in NYC. You get the idea. My shopping ‘meccas” include the B&H photo super store in NYC, the IKEA in Stockholm and the Whole…
Do you know what Migas are? If you have not been to Austin or San Antonio, then you might not be lucky enough to have had this amazing Tex Mex breakfast item. Tweet Pin It
