@BBQBryan@bar_a_bbq@BBQpodcast Looks tasty! I also appreciate when people know the difference between the two. Even though I grew up in a Czech community, a lot of locals unknowingly refer to both as a kolache.
@JohnRWiley@TracesofTexas My father was at Wharton High School at the time and he along with some other students skipped class to go see Castro and his entourage eating at Petersen’s Restaurant. Rancher James Ferguson gave Castro a colt sired from famed quarter horse Go Man Go.
@TracesofTexas There’s an unchanged general store on 90 in Flatonia. Check it out if you’re ever near. South side of the rail road tracks, west side of hwy 95. The family that owns it opens it once every year or two to clean and repair.
@TracesofTexas My father has been fond of Christie’s for ages. 3 of 4 times I meet my father for lunch Christie’s will be his first suggestion. In fact he had lunch there yesterday. It’s got a loyal group of patrons.
@TracesofTexas My father was in Marfa as a kid during the filming of Giant and the story goes that the stars (assuming Liz) wanted to shop at Neiman Marcus so Mr Marcus sent his private plane to bring them to the Dallas store to shop and back to west Texas. Cool era for both Hollywood and Texas
@TracesofTexas Cool background on how the largest purveyors Brahma cattle in the United States got their start with Manso. And no, not all Brahmas are docile but he was. https://t.co/qZWJG3CYhm
@TracesofTexas He’s obviously of the infamous Manso bloodline from the Hudgins of Hungerford. Brahma influence is essential for raising cattle in the US gulf coast. Great mama cows and they tolerate heat and pests better than other breeds. https://t.co/XF9tvBMlNl has the finest brahmas on earth
@TracesofTexas That’s Tootsie’s old bbq joint. If you’re anywhere close to Giddings on a Saturday you’ve got to try @tmbbq #1 in the state, @snowsbbq in Lexington. Get there early though cause the line gets long.
