LatestChet visits this "rastplatz" (rest place) for Texas immigrants in the 1800s. He learns the history, eats some of the biggest tacos in Texas, and dines at a local steakhouse building a legacy. To finish the day, he tours the haunted Yorktown Memorial Hospital.
Texas is BIG! Exploring it ain’t no small vacation - it’s a lifetime endeavor. But that’s exactly why we’re here. From the well-known landmarks to the completely obscure dives and hideaways, we explore every corner of the Lone Star State. We hope we'll inspire you to head out on your own Texas-sized adventures.
