Having been born and raised in the great city of San Antonio, I am proud of my roots. No prouder though when I see attention given to our great city for any of its major accomplishments, be it sports-related or other.
Lately though we are starting to get the kind of attention that really makes me proud to be a San Antonio native. Food Network has taken a distinct liking to our town and nowhere is it more evident than in the last few episodes of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" hosted by Guy Fieri, winner of the second "Next Food Network Star" (And in my opinion the only one to really have "it" when it comes to hanging with the heavyweights on the network.
Recent episodes have profiled DeWese's Tip Top Cafe, Texas Pride Bar-B-Q (which is every bit as good as the show states, I went with my family the week after the broadcast) and more recently The Cove. It's this kind of attention to the city's culinary offerings that San Antonio needs more of. Yes, we have some gems in this city and next week I plan to post an article on one such place. Explore your town's food offerings, not just in the area of chain restaurants but more in the homegrown local joints that will have you coming back for more!
I think you will be delightfully surprised at what you might find... Share with me some of your favorite places, and I will share your thoughts here! Until next week, as always eat with a passion, cook with your heart and remember...
Food is love...
