As you know, Trey’s Chow Down road trips the USA for creative chefs, tasty eats, savory sweet treats, and unique travel destinations. Today we’re in League City, TX, a suburb of Houston, to enjoy some of the biggest cinnamon rolls, sweet donuts, and incredible pastries – all prepared fresh at Bonnie’s Donuts.

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the desserts! That holds true here in League City, thanks to Bonnie’s Donuts and their 5 and 10-pound cinnamon rolls. I couldn’t believe the size of these monsters. The customers we spoke with said that every thing is delectable, delicious, and worth checking out especially the FRESH 5 and 10 pound cinnamon rolls.

The owner Natalie Chun has been making these gigantic rolls with her husband for a about five years. Natalie came to the U.S. from Cambodia 8 years ago to pursue her dream of owning a business. She started out working for a local baker and when the opportunity came to purchase Bonnie’s Donuts, she didn’t hesitate. The cinnamon rolls quickly became a fan favorite thanks to social media, food bloggers, and YouTube channels.

I was lucky enough to be invited in to try some of their award-winning donuts and the Texas-size cinnamon rolls. I was shocked at how heavy, dense, and massive the rolls were. Each batch, which includes an estimated pound of cinnamon, takes roughly two hours to prepare. When I picked up the ten-pound cinnamon roll I was smiling ear to ear and couldn’t wait to get my icing on and start chowing down!

Attendees can laugh, eat, drink, and savor wines or bubbly while enjoying the spirit of Texas throughout the week.

How to Speak TEXAN in TEXAS

Man in cowboy hat being interviewed on red carpet.


Howdy, y’all!

I hope you’re having a fantastic year so far in 2025. We travel across the USA frequently, road tripping in search of delicious food, creative chefs, and unique travel destinations. We wanted to explain what goes into speaking Texan.A red and green logo of the symbol for tiktok.

Talking Texan involves various elements: syntax, cadence, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The most important thing to remember is that the “g†in the suffix “-ing†is often silent, so “fixing to†is pronounced as “fixin’ to.â€

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, but today only about a third of Texans do.

While the unique Texas dialect may be changing, these 10 iconic Texas sayings remain popular. If you’re moving to the DFW area, get ready to hear them regularly!

 

1. Word – 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. Word – 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’nDallas!â€

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.â€

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!â€

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 exactlywhat 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 vs Soda 

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

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!

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!

A red and green logo of the symbol for tiktok.
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.

World-Famous Lewis Barbeque Tray

Today, we’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE in Charleston, South Carolina, to research the meaty deliciousness we’ve heard so much about. This is where pitmaster and barbeque legend John Lewis has created a world of his own in the vast field of freshly prepared barbeque and eats. If you know me and my addiction to creative chefs, pitmasters, and culinary pioneers, you know why we had to make the trip. 

When you make the corner and pull up to LEWIS BARBECUE, you notice the massive modern restaurant that bears his name. To be honest, it’s breathtakingly beautiful and totally unexpected.

You’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE fixing to slang back some of the BEST BBQ in the United States.
