Trey Chapman Brunch, Chow, Drinks
ESPRESSO MARTINI

Hello, Cocktail and Party Enthusiasts!

If you follow me, you know I’m the master at discovering uniqueness for our followers. Reaching over 200 million people a year, I can honestly say I’ve done it again. This is a discovery of EPIC-NESS!

Get ready to celebrate the NEW YEAR, NEW ME extravaganza for 2026! As we all know, many of us set ambitious New Year’s resolutions, but only about 12% manage to stick with them as the year unfolds. Life moves at lightning speed, but what if I told you there’s a way to enjoy cocktails in the new year without guilt?

Imagine sipping on delicious cocktails with ZERO net carbs, ZERO sugar, and absolutely no weird aftertaste. Yes, you heard that right! These drinks are not just tasty—they’re downright irresistible! They’re uniquely crafted, incredibly easy to whip up, perfect for taking on the go and can be shipped right to your front door.

I’m excited to share this incredible cocktail, which is even approved by the Dallas Cowboys! It’s featured at AT&T Stadium during Dallas Cowboys games, showcasing signature zero-sugar margaritas and other innovative cocktails. This shows that you can have a truly enjoyable drink experience without compromising your health.

Can you believe it? It’s Jerry World approved—now that’s something special!

I’m a storyteller because anything honest always deserves a backstory.

MOJITO, MARGARITA, and OLD FASHION

I got a text from my buddy Mike Hiller, who told me about his crazy idea to create Liquid Zero. To be honest, I thought there was NO WAY on earth to create a sugar-free cocktail without losing the taste or ending up with a weird aftertaste. I know this because I’ve worked in full-service restaurants, owned them, and even partnered in some bars. So, I just couldn’t believe it was possible. Nevertheless, I agreed to meet Mike and try them anyway.

All I can say is: WOWZER! I’m glad I did because I discovered something so F’N awesome that I believe it’s going to change the cocktail and at-home party world. Yes, I’m that serious because they taste that good. Let me explain: This product line consists of cocktail mixers designed to create bar-quality drinks without the sugar or artificial aftertaste.

Key Features:

– Zero Sugar/Carbs: The mixers are sweetened with allulose, a natural sweetener that tastes like sugar but has zero net carbs. They contain no stevia, monk fruit, or artificial flavors.

– Ease of Use: The product is sold in jars that also function as shakers. Users simply add the spirit (or sparkling water for a mocktail), water, and ice, shake, and serve.

– Professional Quality: Developed by master sommeliers and a Michelin-starred chef, the mixers are used in various restaurants, bars, and professional sports stadiums, including AT&T Stadium.

– Available Flavors: The brand offers a variety of flavors, including Margarita, Mojito, Black Walnut Old-Fashioned, and Espresso Martini.

– Health-Conscious: Due to their lack of sugar and carbs, these mixers are suitable for keto diets and other health-conscious lifestyles.

What did I tell you? It’s absolutely amazing! But don’t just take my word for it—you have to try them yourself. You HAVE to! Don’t miss out on this extraordinary way to toast to the new year. Cheers!

I loved them, and I know you will too!

The Sweetest Day on Dr. Phil national news and information show.

First, we want to THANK DR Phil’s Team for having us and The Fox Network “THE TEN SHOW” for hosting us with our Unique Sweet Treat destinations list for 2025 and 2026 

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.ÂIn 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:

Best Thing I Ate On Fox 4 Good Day.

Hello Food and Drink Lovers!

Have you ever taken a bite of something so delicious that you thought to yourself, “I have to tell someone about this!” I’m sure you have because we all feel that way sometimes. It doesn’t matter if it’s savory, sweet, or both, we just want to tell someone about how perfect a dish was. After traveling around in 2021, eating and visiting with chefs and restaurant folks, I had an idea. I wanted to spread a little deliciousness among my friends; I wanted to share with everyone the BEST DISHES I ATE in 2021.

2021 was our most successful year at locating creative chefs and delicious dishes. We traveled through 10 different states, logging our most miles ever and visiting a record number of chefs and restaurants. I wanted to highlight some of the most unique and delicious dishes you should try in 2022. These are my top restaurants with dishes, and there’s a big variety so there’s something for everyone!

I enjoyed visiting and eating with some of the best chefs and restaurant folks in the business. Each dish has been carefully chosen and is a chef-driven dish prepared by the best! They only use fresh ingredients, vegetables, and spices to create some bold, modern flavor profiles that everyone will love. Most of the eats are simple dishes that are prepared with passion, love, and creativity. Remember, a simple dish is sometimes the most difficult to facilitate because all parts must be complete perfection. I believe that in most cases simple is better because it gives each ingredient that culinary jingle to create deliciousness.

Howdy Burger Lovers!

I’m honored to present this year’s BEST burger winners. Any burger on my list is here because they are fresh and delicious. Please support local and try all of these burgers.Below at the end of the blog we created a full color poster of this years winners. You may screen shot from your phone or print it off and plan your BURGER adventures of 2021. Bysaving our list you will have instance reference for your barbecue cravings.

WOW!What a year 2020 was for the restaurant, food, and culinary world. In my five decades in the restaurant business, I’ve seen disasters of all types and nothing comes close to the devastating effect Covid-19 had on our economy. Restaurants, chefs, pitmasters, and restauranteurs had to make big changes if they wanted to survive the pandemic. Nationwide, we lost over 251,000 restaurants forever and 2.5 million restaurant jobs at the latest estimate.The good thing is thatNOWwe are on the mend and theTexaseconomy is in full giddy-up mode! This is why it’s so important to support local restaurants to keep us in giddy-up mode.

Even though things were crazy due to Covid-19 we still worked hard reporting on food and hunting down the best burgers we could locate in North Texas. The pandemic allowed us plenty of extra time to chow down on some tasty burgers; it also allowed burger creators time to come up with some new delicious and creative burgers for all of us to enjoy. If you follow me, you know how much I enjoy a great and tasty burger. This is our seventh year for the BEST BURGER contest in Texas and I’m excited to tell everyone about my delicious burger discoveries.

Did you know that burgers are one of the most sought-after sandwiches in the world?The burger business is crazy in the U.S.A. I don’t have the newly updated numbers of burgers sold in 2020 during the pandemic (and it would be an oddly skewed amount), so we are using the last updated numbers. Anational research company states that we sell 6.48 million burgers a day, and around75 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 a year. A worldwide research study states we sell 50 billion a year worldwide. 50 Billion a year that to me is shocking, but I know how many folks just love a succulent, savory, and delicious burger.

Wow, what a year 2020 was for the restaurant and service industry, and not in a good way. Thank goodness it’s over and we can move on down the road.

If you follow me then you know I’m extremely passionate about food, drink, creative chefs, awesome service folks, and the restaurants and grub pubs that host us.Last July I started pondering on what I could do to help support local restaurants, chefs, and the service industry. Something that was different, exciting and fun! I wanted to create something special that hadn’t been tried before. After tossing a few ideas around, the big light in the oven came on, and there it was, swirling around in my brain like berries in a blender. A fantastic and outrageous idea!

I created an outrageous, Texas-sized over-the-top menu full of unique, creative, colorful, delicious, and some massive dishes. These dishes would have to be Chef-driven, very large, creative, and delicious. A few are just simply unique but also delicious. True foodies and couples will love these dishes. They can be shared, used as food challenges, or just eaten because you love food. Whatever the reason, this menu sparks your foodie senses and will make you want to take a trip straight to Delicious-Ville. #Deliciousville

I got together with ten North Texas chefs to discuss my ideas, and some of those chefs even created new and special dishes just for the new Trey’s Chow Down Menu. I also located dishes that had already been created but would fit with the new menu. We have everything from breakfast to dinner; Burgers, BBQ, Seafood,Steaks, and more!

I made trips all over North Texas and tried every single dish myself. I watched the dishes being created and then I chowed down like a pig at the trough. What I ended up with was some unbelievably amazing dishes that are not only delicious and creative, but they are memorable as well. Dishes you can’t and won’t forget!

When you see these dishes, they are visually R.I.D.I.C.U.L.O.U.S! Every single person will say something like, “OMG, WTH Is That!” Believe me – I know because that’s all I’ve heard for the last eight months while working on this new menu.
