These boxes are so BIG, colorful, and impressive that they immediately create smiles on people’s faces and screams of joy. Their colossal taco boxes and Big game packs are simple awesomeness in a box. Velvet Taco is a temple to the liberated taco. It’s a unique taco concept serving premium food in a unique, funky, fast-casual setting. Founded on the idea that tacos don’t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco is where “anything goes meets the art of the possible.”

Hurtado BBQ is Growing Again with a NEW DALLAS Location and a Cook Book

New Hurtado DTX

Howdy BBQ Lovers,

There’s a new BBQ sheriff in Dallas, and his name is Chef Brandon Hurtado. He’s el jefe at Hurtado, and whether you want to enjoy some fresh and delicious authentic TEX-MEX BBQ or spice up your backyard BBQ experience, el jefe has got you covered.

Brandon and his wife Hannah have been slang’n BBQ since 2018, when they began at Division Brewing in Arlington, Texas. Since then, their passion and dedication to serving delicious BBQ and creative eats have grown rapidly. Operating four locations and slang’n Q at Globe Life Field home of the Texas Rangers they dropped the hammer and never looked back!

Three men standing in a room with aprons on.
Chef Stefon’s Fried Smoked Quail & Grits. So delicious!

 

As they’ve expanded their BBQ empire and operations, they’ve continued to elevate their menus and overall dining experiences. They simply offer something every BBQ lover craves—what I like to call H.D. HURTADO DELICIOUSNESS!

They recently hired a creative and talented Culinary Director, Top MOHAWK Chef Stefon Rishel. He has years of experience creating beautiful, curated culinary masterpieces loaded with deliciousness. Some of his dishes are so vibrant and beautiful that they resemble artwork more than food. But once you take your first bite, you can’t stop eating them. They are genuinely unforgettable because they’re loaded with deliciousness. That’s why is a perfect match to team up with HURTADO because it only intensifies the H.D. experience.

They just opened a new 4th location and their most prominent Hurtado BBQ. It’s located at the world-famous Dallas Farmers Market and is a stunning property. They created the new location, covering every detail to perfection. The space resembles an art gallery more than a BBQ joint, but knowing the Hurtado Team, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

The menu is loaded with a variety of flavorful and meaty eats, along with Chef Stefon’s creative (LTO’s) limited-time offerings. Stefon’s delicious dishes change weekly. This is fantastic because you can visit weekly and try something fresh, creative, and delicious.

I love the new location because you can enjoy some H.D. HURTADO DELICIOUSNESS. After your meal, you can head across the parking lot and shop at the Famers Market. They offer a wide variety of anything and everything you could want.

If you love Tex-Mex BBQ, creative and delicious eats, sweet desserts, and fantastic Hurtado family service, then head over and chow down. They are a NEW Trey’s Chow Down favorite and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

If you enjoy cooking at home and want to elevate your backyard experience, I highly recommend El Jefe’s new cookbook, BARBACOA. It has ideas for SMOKED MEATS, TACOS, TAMALES, and ENCHILADAS, as well as creative sides, appetizers, and desserts.

How to Talk TEXAN per Trey of Trey’s Chow Down Brands

Trey Chapman Uncategorized
A man eating pizza on top of a paper plate.

1. Y’all

“Y’all” is a contraction for “you all,” and it’s the very heart of Texan speak. If you want to address more than one person, it’s never “you guys,” it’s “y’all.” (“All y’all” will also work.)

2. Howdy

In place of hello, say “howdy.” It’s a greeting as Texan as cowboy boots and the Alamo. It’s friendly and casual, and it works quite well with a “y’all” at the end — howdy, y’all!

3. Don’t mess with Texas

You’ve no doubt seen this phrase on everything from T-shirts to belt buckles. It’s been the unofficial slogan of the Lone Star State since 1985. While the rest of the country thinks it’s just a catchphrase, true Texans know it’s part of an

4. Everything’s bigger in Texas

It’s true. Everything is bigger in Texas, from people’s hair to their pickup trucks. Dallas leaves no doubt that it’s a big, bold city —  B and G throughout the city. Tourists can stand in between the letters for one big (and cool) photo opp. Which leads to the next famous Texas saying …

5. Bigger’n Dallas

You’d use this expression when you want to say something is immediately noticeable. “Look at him up there bigger’n Dallas!”

6. Fixin’ to

This is basically the state verb of Texas. There’s really nothing to fix, though — this Texas saying means that you’re about to do something. Example: “I’m fixin’ to leave.”

7. All git-out

This means to a great degree, exceedingly, or as much as possible. As in: “She was happier’n all git-out!”

8. This ain’t my first rodeo

When you’ve been there and done that, this is the Texas saying you’d use. It means you’re no fool. You know exactly what you’re doing.

9. Hissy fit

You don’t want to mess with a Texan who’s throwing a hissy fit. This is an all-out tantrum with hollerin’, feet stompin’ — the works.

10. Coke

Texans never ask for a soda, soft drink, or pop. It’s Coke — no matter what kind of carbonated refreshment they want.

What It Means To “Talk Texan”

What goes into talking Texan? A lot of things: syntax, cadence, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Most important to remember is that the “g” in the suffix “ing” is silent — therefore, “fixing to” becomes “fixin’ to.”

That traditional Texas twang — think Matthew McConaughey’s slow, Southern drawl — is evolving, though. Researchers at UT Austin found that about 80 percent of Texans had a classic Texas accent in the 1980s. Only about a third of Texans do today.

The unique Texas dialect may be evolving, but these 10 iconic Texas sayings endure. And if you’re moving to the DFW area, get ready to hear them on a regular basis.

Unwind in Style in a Newly Reimagined Texas Mid-Century Roadside Inn

Trey Chapman Travel Experiences

Just some of the creative rooms

Hello Travel Fans,

We travel the USA searching for creative chefs, delicious eats, sweet and savory treats, and unique travel destinations. We love the hunt because we are constantly enamored by what we find in small-town America.

Last week was no exception! When we pulled into the charming small town of Stephenville, Texas just west of Fort Worth, we made an unforgettable new discovery the Interstate INN. It’s unique, lovely, modern, and offers memorable experiences.

It was once an old roadside inn that opened over sixty years ago. Today, it’s been reimagined, but they kept the historic feeling and added sophisticated modern designs. It’s a blend of contemporary comfort and the mid-century charm of the original 1965 roadside inn.

It’s a dream of siblings Lisa Lennox, Cathy Bonner, and Kirk Bonner to remodel mid-century roadside motels into dream destinations and revitalize small towns.  Tucked into the heart of your road trip, Mod Motels are destinations worth finding. They are saving these historic motels with sophisticated modern designs and styles. They are a unique boutique destination offering small-town hospitality where comfort, fun, and elegance meet motoring in America once again.

The NEW Interstate INN offers everything you need for an unforgettable evening or a weekend of relaxation. The property has a NEW beautiful pool area with fire pits, seating areas, and even a sundeck in the pool. It also has multipurpose seating areas with colorful, modern, stylish furniture.

Let’s talk about the rooms and how creative those turned out. Each of the 33 rooms at Interstate Inn was uniquely designed, combining the nostalgic charm of mid-century America with modern refinement. From custom-made furnishings to curated local art by Kevin Chupik, every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create a luxurious and welcoming space.

Celebrity chef Stepan Pyles and his magical culinary team create a menu of delicious food, sweet and savory treats, and tasty snacks. The newly created on-site restaurant is called THE SEEKER. The carefully curated menu offers nothing but deliciousness with every bite. It’s simply an unforgettable Texas dining experience. The best thing about THE SEEKER is that you can enjoy the restaurant even if you’re not staying in the motel.

Trey and Jana’s overall take:

The simplest way for us to describe the INTERSTATE INN experience: “As soon as you pull up, you will notice it’s a special place to relax and enjoy the cozy, modern environment offering an elevated hospitality small-town experience you will fall in love with because we sure did. We highly recommend you visit to enjoy this SPECTACULAR new property in beautiful Stephenville, Texas.”

Pizza Slayer’s and Slanger’s On ABC

First, I would like to thank FOX 4 DFW and WFAA ABC DAYBREAK for letting me cohost Trey’s Unique and Delicious Pizza Options for North Texas. We wanted to throw a BIG party for North Texas so everyone could enjoy some fresh and delicious pizza and awesome, UNFORGETTABLE pizza slang’ers.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably noticed that there are pizza joints on every corner these days. One thing I know for a fact after years or research is that all pizza joints are not created equal.  We set out to discover the most unique and delicious pizza options in the North Texas area. This was important to me, because everyone likes pizza in one form or another. In fact, everyone I’ve ever met LOVES pizza!

If you’re a pizza lover looking for unique, fresh and delicious pizza, then you know it all starts with the dough. The dough is the biggest factor in what sets one joint apart from another. After that, it’s all about the sauce. Some trend towards the sweeter side, while others let the natural acidity shine through. From there, it’s all about using farm-fresh ingredients and vegetables. The combination of these aspects is what we’re looking for when finding unique and delicious pizza options in North Texas. It sounds easy, but believe you me, it ain’t easy to achieve the perfect pizza!

That being said, I think we’ve located some of the most unique and delicious pizza options in the North Texas area for everyone to enjoy. Each one offers something different, and is prepared with passion and love to create some delicious pizza.

Because each pizza joint is unique, there is no specific order to this list. If you love pizza like I do, then I would highly recommend you try each of them or pick one that’s close to you so you can enjoy some seriously delicious pizza. One thing I’m sure of is that you better pack your bags, because you’re going a trip straight to PIZZA-DELICIOUSVILLE!

Are you ready for a PIZZA tour of deliciousness for 2025, LET’s GO!

CANE ROSSO – DFW Locations

https://www.canerosso.com

When CANE ROSSO came on scene years ago, I had to make the trip because I had heard such great things about the concept. After my first visit in Dallas, I made my way in early one afternoon to the Fort Worth location on Magnolia Ave. If you follow my foodie adventures around the USA, then you know that I love to visit restaurants when it’s slow so I can engage with the managers and staff to learn a little more about the operation and history. That day I learned a lot about CANE ROSSO and understood why I fell in love with the concept.

I’ve never met owner Jay Jerrier, but I’ve always heard great things about him and his restaurant operations. I learned Jay started his concept after visiting Italy and tasting a true authentic Italian pizza. He fell in love, and the rest is history. Cane Rosso started in his backyard with a custom wood burning oven he had built. He was PASSIONATE about learning and perfecting the art and craft of authentic NEAPOLITAN STYLE PIZZA. They use the highest quality ingredients, handmade dough, mozzarella made in-house daily, fresh pasta, and unique takes on both traditional and modern Italian dishes. All pizzas are cooked at 900 degrees in their custom-built ovens.

He has created an UNFORGETTABLE restaurant and dining experience that you will love, because I sure do. My favorite eats are the MEAT BALLS, CHEESY GARLIC BREAD, and the PROSCIUTTO and ARUGULA PIZZA. If you love pizza, Cane Rosso has to be on your list to try. Check them out and tell them OL’ TREY SENT YA!

https://www.motorcitypizzatx.com

The name says it all! Slang’n authentic DETROIT STYLE PIZZA that is savory, thick and delicious. If you don’t know what DETROIT STYLE pizza is, then you’ve been missing something very unique. Detroit-style pizza is a deep-dish rectangular pizza topped with Wisconsin brick cheese and a cooked tomato-based sauce. The dough typically has a hydration level of 70 percent or higher, which creates an open, porous, chewy crust with a crisp exterior. Detroit-style pizza was invented in 1946 by an Italian immigrant named Gus Guerra, although the exact details are controversial. What can be agreed upon is that Guerra invented the style while trying to add new menu items at his neighborhood bar.

You are going to love the flavor profiles and deliciousness that Motor City offers. I’ve enjoyed the NEW BRUNCH/ BREAKFAST pizzas that are slathered in house gravy, OMG! OMG! Yea, I said GRAVY! GET YOU SOME OF THAT! I’ve also tried the DETROITER with OLD-WORLD PEPPERONI, and it was a F#$$% ticket to deliciousville. I also enjoyed the NEW BIRRIA PIZZA with house chili infused beef broth for drip’in. Oh, I had to have extra drip’in sauce because it was DRIPP’IN with DELICIOUSNESS.

MAMA’S has been around for decades, and I even worked at MAMA’S on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth slang’n pizza in high school during the summers. It never got old to me, and I love the MAMA’S unique flavors and the pillowy style crust. It’s what I like to call the MAMA’S FACTOR of DELICIOUSNESS. 

Mama’s Pizza was founded in 1968 by Ed Stebbins on East Rosedale Street in Fort Worth. The Connecticut native, whose mother was from Naples, Italy, was then a student at Texas Wesleyan University and opened the pizzeria right across the street from the university. Stebbins couldn’t think of a good name for the pizzeria but decided upon Mama’s. In 1970, his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Biggs, joined the Mama’s staff and began taking orders behind the counter. She became known as “Mama,†and the moniker stuck. Jordan Scott inherited Mama’s on 2003 and has taken MAMA’S to new and exciting heights while retaining the MAMA’S FACTOR of DELICIOUSNESS. I love to order a double pepperoni and chow down. If you love PIZZA, then MAMA’S has to be on your list. Check them out and tell them OL’ TREY YA!

We discovered them by accident years ago. After our first visit I couldn’t believe the pizza was so delicious. Since that day we’ve made several trips to various locations and fell in love with GRIMALDI’S. The cook process is unique and one that requires skill and passion to facilitate properly. They do a masterful job at creating PIZZA DELICIOUSNESS for everyone to enjoy.

Grimaldi’s family business began with the opening of their first location under the Brooklyn Bridge in the borough’s DUMBO neighborhood. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria serves traditional coal-fired brick oven pizza using pizza-making traditions originating in Brooklyn over 100 years ago. Using only the freshest ingredients, and their ‘secret recipe’ dough that’s hand-tossed and made in house daily, their pizzas are prepared in their signature Coal-Fired Brick Ovens, which helps us deliver an authentic taste that’s not found in conventional oven pizza. They’re a family-friendly, casual, yet upscale, New York-themed restaurant. It’s their passion for pizza that made them a “must eat†for pizza lovers everywhere!

https://www.zolispizza.com

A few years ago, I met someone in Fort Worth and they asked me if I’ve ever tried ZOLI’S? To which I replied, “WHO? WHAT IS A ZOLI?†The rest is HISTORY! We headed over the next day to chow down at ZOLI’S, and it was a fantastic restaurant and pizza experience. We discovered in our conversation with the manager that it was the sister company to CANE ROSSO, another love of mine. That’s when I understood why the deliciousness factor was in full-tilt-boogie.

It’s a NEW YORK style pizza and authentic Italian joint offering from scratch chef and pizzas that are loaded with delicious flavor profiles that are highly addictive. They offer snacks, sharables, sandwiches, a O.D. Burger which I love, sweets, cocktails and of course pizza. My personal favorite is the HONEY BASTARD 12 x 12 square pie. OMG, HOLY SMACK DOWN! The texture, slight crispy edges, and sweet heat flavor is RIDICULOUS. Each bite of this pizzas is a TRIP STRAIGHT to pizza delicious-ville. Check them out and tell them OL’ TREY SENT YA!

Hello, dessert and sweet lovers. We have something special for you.

A group of people standing around a table with food.
The Sweetest Day on Dr. Phil’s Morning On Merit Street national news and information show.

First, we want to THANK Dr. Phil’s Merit Street Media “MORNING ON MERIT STREET SHOW” and The Fox Network “THE TEN SHOW” for hosting us with our Unique Sweet Treat destinations list for 2025.

I love desserts, sweet treats, candies, cakes, cupcakes, and anything sweet. We’ve been traveling the USA coast-to-coast for years and compiled a list of some of the most creative, fresh, decadent, savory, and sweet treats everyone can enjoy.

If you are a true sweets lover, you’ll love this list. The great thing about this list is that you can visit one of the sweet treat locations in person to enjoy the sweet deliciousness or have them shipped. That’s right! Most can be shipped directly to your home, office, or anywhere with an address. It’s easy, and you can enjoy what we’ve been enjoying for years.

What is a sweet treat? A sweet treat is a unique and enjoyable food, such as candy, cookies, pies, pastries, desserts, donuts, chocolate bars, chocolate creations, and so much more. So many sweet treats are available that it’s truly an endless adventure. Sweet treats are good for your soul and can make you happy, pleasurable, and euphoric with every bite you take. 

I’ve been addicted to discovering the best for years. In my travels, I found some fantastic dessert locations, candy shops, cookie makers, confectionery creators, and many others. I wanted to share them with you so we can all enjoy some savory, sweet deliciousness for the holidays.

 

Buckle up! It’s time to ride the sweet train to Deliciousville:

DO YOU LOVE OOEY, GOOEY, MEATY, DELICIOUS DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS? I discovered the BEST cheeseburger chain restaurants offering the BEST double cheeseburgers in AMERICA so you can enjoy them!

USA Best Chain Cheeseburger Restaurants on Dr. Phil

I’m so happy because it’s National Double Cheeseburger Day 2024 in the USA! You can enjoy these burgers thoughout 2025. We decided to have a BURGER PARTY on Dr. Phil’s Merit Street TV with my TOP TEN National chain burger choices. There are a multitude of fantastic national burger chains offering fresh, cheesy, and delicious double cheeseburger options. I know this because I’ve been in the BURGER business my entire life. I want to share my tasty burger discoveries with you so everyone can enjoy an unforgettable DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER. 

I’ve eaten burgers coast to coast for decades and have noticed in my travels that burgers are one of the most sought-after sandwiches in the world. The burger business is crazy in the U.S.A. and the consumption numbers are unbelievable. We sold 50 billion burgers in 2023 alone in the USA. WHICH MEANS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN EATS ABOUT 3 BURGERS A WEEK. McDonald’s alone sells 75 burgers a second! What? Yes, 75 burgers a second! This roughly breaks down as 4,500 burgers every minute, 270,000 every hour, 6.48 million a day, and 2.36 billion burgers yearly. 50 Billion burgers sold in the USA is shocking, but I know how many folks love a succulent, savory, and delicious burger.

Let’s talk about what makes a DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGER. First, you have to start with a fresh and tasty bun. The patty has to be 100% beef combined with the freshest vegetables or toppings. When you combine these steps, you can achieve a very tasty burger. It’s important to remember that a mojority of chain restaurants use custom sauce creations and other creative options that creates a unique burger style for their brand. 

All this being said let’s see who has the TOP 10 DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS NATIONALLY so you can chow down.

Howdy, Fellow Travelers and Food LOVERS!

If you love traveling and having fantastic surprises like we do, then you’ll love this JW Marriott Plant Riverside discovery. It was a tremendous find, and we only knew once we checked into the hotel. As soon as Jana and I walked through the doors, we knew something was different. It had a feel of uniqueness, charm, and beauty. It had the perfect chill vibe with a touch of class as if to say, ” You’ve arrived at your perfect weekend destination on the river.”

Savannah has a wide variety of places to stay and things to do, but what we discovered at the JW Marriott was a destination inside a destination. You don’t leave the hotel if you don’t want to because it has everything you need, including a rooftop pool area, a separate rooftop lounge, a museum, and so much more. It even offers luxurious boat adventures in Savannah.

It’s a AAA Four Diamond JW Marriott located in the heart of historic Savannah on the Savannah riverfront, with countless activities a short walk away. Explore the downtown Savannah shopping district, visit Kessler Diva, eat at one of the hotel’s restaurants, reconnect with friends at our riverside Savannah bars, or embark on one of the city’s various walking tours. Once a power plant, Plant Riverside District represents the beauty of progress. Whether you are seeking a weekend getaway or a business meeting, our hotel provides a setting with timeless elegance. The three unique buildings are enriched in history, from chic architecture in the Power Plant to romantic styling in the Three Muses and contemporary maritime details in the Atlantic. Complete your experience with a relaxing massage at the hotel spa before you enjoy the vibrant nightlife in the entertainment district.
