100 foods to eat before you die I've been traveling and eating all around the world and here are the 100 Foods you need to eat before you die and these are in no particular order so add them to your food bucket list number 25 Leona General Store going to a place that's considered by many to be the best steakhouse in all of Texas that's some bold claims got to go check that out but first a burger welcome to Mineral Wells Woodies best Burger in [Music] Texas okay what is so it's basically really simple it's just burgers and cheeseburgers oh you got to be careful first of all there's a toothpick poking out wow this this looks like a legitimate Burger first thing I noticed is the bacon those are not thin pieces of bacon two patties cheese covering each one henos grilled onions between the patties itself it's on the bottom here yeah bacon lettuce tomato on the bottom is a good move so the Burger doesn't leak all over the place and it weighs about I say easily over a half a pound I mean that's going look like the burger is like sticking his tongue out at me they can actually look so thick and juicy and good and ch [Music] hard Shan thank you so much for this recommendation thank you for making my weekend pretty much complete with that one bite this is an amazing Burger wow patties are incredibly juicy cheesy bacon is cooked perfectly with such a nice chew and Char what's so good about this is the heat brought by the jalapenos also bring such a smoky flavor to this burger as well you know what I never consider lettuce and tomatoes to be that important of a component to a good burger cuz you know them being veggies and all well tomatoes are fruit but when you bite through those patties onto that juicy Sweet Tomato it adds a whole different dimension to this burger the bacon is crunchy as you get to the middle and with that bite I'm also tasting caramelized onions more of that wonderful cheese in the grilled jalapenos woo 100% add that bacon eating this thing every bite was like a whole love affair you just keep falling more and more in love with this burger I mean I seriously just drove hour and a half I'm sitting underneath a scorching hot Texas sh sweating pretty much everywhere and I'm having the best time of my life absolute Masterpiece wow I'm still in disbelief by how good that burger it's a really good burger it's not like there's some you know hidden spices or different herbs or sauces or something that was just such a good burger like everything you want in a good burger juicy patties crunchy toppings the flavor profile that Mel chees everything was just [Music] perfect here it is the town of Leona Texas and this is it this is uh this is the Leona General Store there's a catfish fry which is every Thursday Friday Saturday night steaks it's only open 3 and 1/2 hours three times a week oh this is where it all happens how long does it take for you to go through this uh that's enough for two nights two nights mountain of charcoal and this is where all the grilling happens and you guys only serve steak hand cut ribey whatever hand cut ribeye and what's really cool I sell a grill room I can't wait to actually when they fire it up I'm going to go inside and get some shots of how they cook everything but they use charcoal which is really unique most restaurants like he was saying they don't allow charcoal so it's usually a gas stove imagine you to get some of that great charcoal flavor in the Saks and as big of a stick as you want no C for you what they tell me is a secret it's not just they awesome meat in the charcoal they also use a rub so this the first steak house I've been to that's actually seasoned the steak usually steak houses just some salt and pepper that's about it they use a secret rub can't wait to taste that man I'm the first one here I have about 2 hours before this thing opens up I think these cast they definitely know where to go for good meat oh look at a little kitty over there a hi I've been to cat cafes where I pay money for cats to just ignore me and these kittens they so nice I never seen a 22 o steak look this big before this steak is crazy first of all it resembles Texas first of all because it's the size of its map do you see how Giant and this is charred soft so this is the rub that they're talking about all over the steak and all the steaks here are riy so that's the fattiest cut and to me that's the best cut I got my medium rare might be a little too rare for some people I'm glad my camera has a screen that shows my head because otherwise I wouldn't even know if it's still here because I'm that's because that's how mind blown I am by this so so amazingly juicy and tender this is not going to be your steakhous riy type of steak it doesn't taste all fancy shancy it just tastes good so good like I'm so happy I'm so happy thank you enjo thank you this place's reputation is well deser each bite first of all you can taste that amazing Char that only charcoal can bring and the rub oh they're right I've never really had steak with Rub before this rub is masterful so much flavor tiny amount of heat oh the potatoes are good too garlic potatoes and again this is a 22 oz of steak I've had 22 o of steak before this is way bigger than a 22 oz of steak [Music] seriously every single bite it's like I'm eating a meat gushers juice just fills my mouth I feel like I've eating a lot and I still haven't really even made a dent of course rubbi I oh God that all that great fat in here [Music] I carried you all the way only to hear say here is no [Music] home one thing about the steakhouse and I think this is what gives it its charm again it's not glamorous not fancy the steaks the way they're cooking it I don't think they're using a timer or anything they're just cooking it they're just eyeballing everything and it comes out amazing if you really just like steak houses where it's all fancy and the meat is cut with Precision with all the tendons trimmed out if that's what you're looking for this is not that kind of place this is a very rustic almost has a backyard barbecue feel to it it's almost exactly like going to your friend's house for barbecue and he cooks up an amazing steak it's like that which really makes this a truly authentic Texas Steak experience so if you're in Dallas or Houston I would recommend making the 2-hour trick over here get some steak afterwards go next door get yourself a fountain soda or a malt sit outside smell the barbecue looking at this this is why I'm the happiest and if you do ever come here remember one thing it's really important whatever size steak you think you may be getting here just remember they used the Texas measuring system here it's going to be a lot bigger
