Trey's Take: A truly uniquely different Taco joint (stylized as Tacodeli). We made the trip to chow down because it's highly popular. Texas-born taqueria from Austin, Texas. The chain is famous for its locally sourced, handcrafted tacos and award-winning salsas. Founded in 1999 by Chef Roberto Espinosa, it bridges the vibrant, fresh flavors of Mexico City with quality Texas ingredients. The flavorful profiles are insanely addictive when you add their award winning sauce. If you looking for something delicious you need to try TacoDeli.

🤝 @visitneworleans

📝 Trey's Take: I've been visiting New Orleans fo decades. After visiting 33 states in the USA I can honestly say there is nothing like a New Orleans experience. Arnaud's is a historic, fine-dining Creole restaurant in the French Quarter, known for classic dishes like Oysters Bienville and Soufflé Potatoes, and an Old World atmosphere with live jazz in its Jazz Bistro. Established in 1918, it offers a quintessential New Orleans experience with multiple dining options, including the main dining room, the French 75 Bar, and private rooms, though some find the food inconsistent or pricey. 

Cuisine: Classic Creole, French, and Cajun.

Signature Dishes: Oysters Bienville, Turtle Soup, Shrimp Arnaud, Soufflé Potatoes, and Bananas Foster.

Live Music: A Dixieland jazz trio plays nightly in the Jazz Bistro. Includes the award-winning French 75 Bar. 

Mardi Gras Museum: Houses a collection of Mardi Gras costumes and artifacts. 

It is a must visit and an officially APPROVED Trey's Chow Down Delicious Destination for all food and travel lovers to enjoy.

NEW Savory Wendy's Burger 🍔 😋 Wendy's Old-Fashion NEW Savory Wendy's Burger 🍔 😋 
Wendy's Old-Fashioned Hamburgers 

👉 If you enjoy burger deals then I would highly RECOMMEND you try this new burger. Mine was worth the money! It was savory, ooey-gooey cheesy, creamy, rich, and had a little heat to make a very delicious burger. 

😋 @wendys 📍 USA Locations 

🕙 Limited-time Burher 

🍔 Jalapeño Ranch Cheese Burger : Add the Bacon 🥓

📢 I omitted the tomatoes and lettuce: Just wanted burger 🍔 

👉 Pro-Tip: If they say they do not have the burger. Order a Wendy's, single, double, or triple. Add cheess, bacon, jalapeños, and ranch. Leave off all other sauces. You can still create this burger if its off the menu. Ots worth ot because the flavor was pure deliciousness. 

🌞 Breakfast Jalapeño Bacon Seasoned Potatoes: light, crispy, wedges, with Swiss cheese sauce, three strips of 🍎 Applewood smoked bacon, and jalapeño slices. YES! YES! YES! order up but only before 10.30 am.

🍌🍦 FROSTY: Creamery, smooth, flavorful and BANANA-O-LICIOUSNESS. 

If your looking for some new food to try I would recommend Wendy's for these new creations. That burger was ridiculously delicious. 

📃 Disclaimer and 📝 Side note: EACH WENDY'S make prepare the burger differently. It's just want happens in the restaurant business. If you want your burger a certain way then you have ro speak up and tell them. They will make it anyway you like but you have to communicate. 

Wendy's is still and has been one of my all-time favorite QSR BURGER RESTAURANTS. I worked in management for years when I was kn the food business in SoCal Southern California. I know and understand them very well.

🤝 @visit_arlington

🙏 SPECIAL THANKS to Tom and his staff for completing in my Burger Showdown for 2026. We love supporting family owned businesses and have since 1905 with Chapman family opened their first restaurant..

Trey's Take: Truly a fresh, creative and unique burger. Starting with his special pecan smoked wood chargrilled meat, garlic aioli, thick crispy chilled pickles, house prepared sweet heat bacon jam and topped with buttery toasted brioche bun. Wow! Lets go burger perfection. 

Tom’s Burgers & Grill is the brainchild of Chef Tom Jones, an engineer turned culinary champion. Come in for scrumptious pecan smoked burgers, potato chip crusted chicken fried steak and a unique and diverse menu of diner favorites or breakfast al day. They took the classic ‘50s diner, threw a foodie spin on it, but didn’t stop serving the burgers, floats and pecan pie.
