“Off the beaten path, The Original Kolache Shoppe is the go to spot for a variety of kolaches, both sweet and savory”
G. Garvin heads to Houston, TX, for a reminder of what true Texas barbecue is. At Tin Roof, a family-friendly spot with live entertainment and a father/son team working the smokers, G. tastes a unique sandwich called the Texas Cheese Steak and tons of fixin's. For a quick sweet fix, G. visits the Original Kolache Shoppe who makes these Czech pastries like no other. Finally, for a new spin on barbecue, G. checks out the custom-made smokers at Pitmaker and joins owner Victor to make a perfect surf-n-turf.
