In Texas we LOVE a good burger and in this episode we talk about the Top Burgers in Texas! In case you missed it, Texas Monthly recently released their “50 Greatest Burgers in Texas” list and we are sitting down with Pat Sharpe, Courtney Bond and Abby Johnston from Texas Monthly to discuss the top burgers. We also ponder important topics such as what makes a good burger, must have toppings, is it aioli or garlic aioli, dissecting your burger before you eat it and more! You won’t want to miss this episode…OH, and we recommend you listen to it as you enjoy your favorite burger.

It’s summertime in Texas and it’s HOT!  And just about anything with water is fair game when we are looking for ways to stay cool….rivers, lakes, the coast, retention ponds… Join us as we relive childhood memories at swimming holes and discover new ones with Jordan Breal (@jordanbreal on Twitter) and Courtney Bond (@clbond on Twitter) from Texas Monthly. The inspiration for this podcast came from their recent issue called “Splash” that is all about swimming in Texas.

Swimming spots we discuss include:

• The Frio River at Garner State Park (because of course, it’s a Texan rite of passage! We suggest checking out Neal’s Lodges)
• San Felipe Creek in Del Rio (Texas Monthly says it’s great for frolicking…)
• Gus Fruh in Austin (It’s sort of a secret hideaway and there’s a rope swing…what more do you need?)
• Hamilton Pool in Dripping Springs is a must-see (just be prepared, you must make reservations)
• The Blue Hole in Wimberley is always a Texas favorite (and it makes for a great road trip!)
•  Port Aransas Coast, McGee Beach or Matagorda Bay are great for attempted surfing (or boogie boarding)
• Check out Boykin Springs for breathtaking waterfalls
• The Comal River in New Braunfels (Perfect for tubing…just hold on to your stuff on the tube shoot!)
• For SCUBA diving, San Solomon Springs in Balmorhea and the Athens SCUBA Park are two of our favorites!
• Two of the best kept Texas secrets are Reimer’s Ranch and The Narrows in the Blanco River (sorry folks, this one’s on private land)
• If you’d like to up your swimming hole difficulty level, check out Devils River (Warning: No cell phone service!) or the Lower Pecos River (Texas Monthly spent 6 days paddling it!)

What do you do when your talents and passion are locked in a cabinet? Chet Garner knows the answer to that question. He said he was "losing" every day working as a lawyer...so, he did something about it. Now, he's the host of a wildly popular TV show on PBS - "The Daytripper."
