In this episode of Texas Country Reporter, we dive into three mouthwatering Texas food stories, each rooted in craft, passion, and culinary tradition.
Cured – San Antonio, TX
Our first stop takes us to Cured, where Chef Steve McHugh brings new life to classic charcuterie inside San Antonio’s historic Pearl district. From house-cured meats to innovative Texas-inspired dishes, Cured celebrates flavor, heritage, and healing through food.
Sausage Sensei – Seguin, TX
Next, we meet master sausage maker Bill Dumas, known across Texas barbecue circles as the Sausage Sensei. After years behind some of the biggest pits in the state, Bill now teaches the art of handcrafted sausage, sharing the skills, science, and creativity that go into every link.
Burnt Bean Company – Seguin, TX
Finally, we visit Burnt Bean Company, the award-winning barbecue joint run by pitmasters Ernest Servantes and David Kirkland. Their Central Texas–style brisket, house-made sides, and legendary weekend lines have earned them national recognition and a loyal Texas following.
Join us as we explore the flavors, techniques, and stories behind some of the most exciting food destinations in Texas.
