🌟 TAG, COMMENT and RESHARE with family and friends who love uniquely different delicious destinations because we discovered another one that just opened and it's worth the trip to chow down. 

🍔 @fritabatidos 

📍 4620 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75205

🧑‍🍳 The Service is incredible 

📝 Cuban Burgers, Sandwiches, Sweets, Popsicles, and Cocktails 

Trey's Take: 
If you love uniquely different burgers, sandwiches and authentic Cuban eats than you have to try this place. The food is simply Cuban-O-Licious. We loved it! Frita Batidos is a popular Cuban-inspired street food and burger restaurant that made its Texas debut in  a few weeks ago August 2026 at 4620 McKinney Avenue in Dallas' McKinney-Knox neighborhood. It's worth the trip!!

🌟 TAG, COMMENT and RESHARE with family and friends who love uniquely different delicious destinations because THE SALTY is always slang'n deliciousness. Chef driven artisan donuts that are worth the trip and the money. FOREVER THE END!

🍩 @thesaltydonut 

📍 414 W Davis St, Dallas, TX 75208

🖥 https://www.saltydonut.com/

🍩 Flavors: 
Traditional Glaze, Brown Butter & Salt, Chocolate Chip Cookie Cronut, Banana & Maple Butter Twist, Peach Cobbler, Boston Creme 😋 

Trey's Take: I've eaten donuts in 33 states coast to coast and visited the Salty in Miami where it all began. They're still slang'n some of the best,  period. The Salty Donut pioneered the artisan, chef-made gourmet donut and craft coffee concept in Miami, built entirely around a signature 24-to-48-hour fermented brioche dough. Unlike traditional donut shops that use quick-mix powders, they treat their process like a high-end French patisserie—making all of their glazes, jams, and fillings in-house from scratch with zero artificial preservatives or flavors. It always shows and they're worth the trip and the money.

Join us on our journey through the USA and Texas as we uncover some of the most unique and friendly properties that anyone can love. When we received the call to check out The Clara Hotel, Plano’s newest gem, in the Hilton Tapestry collection, we knew we had to explore it. Every Tapestry Collection hotel tells a distinctive story through its art, architecture, design, dining, and local touches. What we discovered was “Quiet Elegance,” a sanctuary right in the heart of the city—a place to lose yourself in tranquility, complemented by delicious chef-driven dishes and a cozy, resort-like pool area perfect for socializing and having a great time.

🚨2 Breakfast Tacos & Drink $6.99

📍 121 Rufe Snow Drive, Suite 127, Keller, TX 76248

📝 Menu HighlightsMesquite-smoked barbecue (brisket, ribs)Scratch-made sides and mac & cheeseBreakfast tacos (offered select mornings)Seasonal Mexican entrees

Trey's Take so picture this: it’s a gorgeous Saturday morning, the sun is shining, and we’re cruising down the road with the sunroof wide open. Jana's hair is dancing in the wind, and then, BAM! The moment hits me—I catch a whiff of something incredible! I glance over to see a mouthwatering sign by the side of the road: "Breakfast Tacos." If you know me, you’ll understand this called for an immediate, no-blinker, hard right turn! I know it drives Jana a bit nuts, but come on—I had to make that detour! I zoomed up, jumped out, and confirmed it—2 breakfast tacos and a drink for a steal!

I threw the TRIPLE T into park and we dashed inside. As soon as we stepped in, the tantalizing BBQ aromas wrapped around us like a warm hug. It’s that glorious MORNING TEXAS SMELL, the one I like to call TEXAS MORNING COLOGNE!

From the moment we entered JR's, friendly voices welcomed us like we were part of the family. If you’ve been following my food adventures, you know I’m all about that friendly vibe—it sets the perfect mood! Jana, being the taco queen she is, jumped right in to order while I scope things out. 

As I looked around, I was captivated by the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. And let me tell you, they had a salsa bar that sparkled like a shiny diamond ring—fully stocked and immaculately clean! The sun was rising, BBQ scents were wafting all around, tacos were waiting, and I was in heaven!

When Jana brought the tacos to our table, I couldn’t believe how fresh, hot, and generously stuffed they looked. I enthusiastically drizzled that aromatic fresh salsa all over them. My mouth was watering! I told Jana, “You better go snag some more!”

🤝 @visitgranbury

TREY'S TAKE: You know I travel coast to coast for burgers. We've visited 33 states in the last decade and host our Cowtown Burger Showdown Festival annually. Simply put: " Daddyo's Burgers are some of the best period!" They use fresh ground beef sourced locally from Bluebonnet Meat Co in Granbury. They hand-craft each patty smashing farm fresh onions into the meat to achieve an authentic Oklahoma Onion Burger. They have those tasty crusty edges, where each bite is slightly crunchy and loaded with burger deliciousness. I was so impressed with the flavor I ate a Daddyo's double smash burger without hardly breathing. I had to get a second burger just to take the photos. I ate the first to fast, like a crack addict looking for a fix. Yes, the burgers are truly that delicious! I drove 2.4 hours round trip to beautiful Granbury Texas and Warren's Backyard to enjoy these amazing burgers. 

Let's show them some love and reshare their post so all of HOOD COUNTY can enjoy one of the best onion burgers in Texas. This isn't a promo it's the real deal. They're just aren't a lot of perfect onion smash burgers in Texas but DADDYO'S is the spot.
