Dating back to 1882, Southside Market was opened by William Moon in Elgin, delivering meat by horse-drawn wagon, door to door. There was no refrigeration back then, so you smoked it, you seasoned it, and you sold it fast.

The Aggies may have messed with nature to get a maroon bluebonnet, but the pink bluebonnet is a natural genetic mutation, and they did some actual good work by studying the flower and isolating it, stabilizing it, and now you can buy pink bluebonnets.

Vernon's Kuntry Katfish has a long-standing reputation for having some of the best catfish in Texas. Since we filmed there in 2016, Buster unfortunately passed away, but the family legacy continues today!

On this day in 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, effectively ended 13 years of prohibition and legalized beer and wine, so today at the Daytripper, we are celebrating National Beer Day with @karbachbrewing Lager. Cheers!
