Turned out to be a real cool spot on the rim of Shiner that offers preserved goods and sauces in jars. They're kind of like home-canned goods that are professionally canned. The imagery surrounding this place is amazing. I'll include some shots here. Seems like they also process meat off site and sell here. Also, they have a sit down spot inside for ordering some food to stay. A patron recommended getting some to go but circumstances didn't allow it. We will definitely come back and spend some proper time here.

It was all great and the staff was so sweet. Out girls picked out ornaments and broke one and they were really sweet about it and gave her another one and didn't make us pay for the broken one. The chicken salad sandwich was really fresh and good and our kids got the hot dogs which I think they make from scratch and were awesome. The bread seemed home made too... I had a bite and I think that's the best hot dog I've ever had.

So get there early or order ahead! You can shop for any occasion or holiday here. Great gifts for everyone in the family. Or for yourself . Everything is Texas made or Texas themed. Local artists and Texas wide creations. They also butcher and sell meat from their own farm. I have tried the bacon, some of the sausage and beef. Fantastic flavor and quality. I love the woodwork Ross has done. Including the building itself. Stop in for goodies, stay for the great conversation.

Inside you will find all kinds of goods made by artisans as well as the artisans themselves. The only downside that I really saw is the grounds were not kept very well and when I went through it didn't have a ton to choose from. I did hear that on the weekend the owner makes amazing cinnamon rolls so that would be something to absolutely check out! Blue Stem has SO much potential and is such a unique place, just needs a little help on the grounds and upkeep!

Not expecting much for being out in the country, I decided to hit up Yelp for lunch. Well, today was a lucky spin. Imagine a cold winter day. You're in the house trying to get warm. The only thing that feels good is a warm blanket. Why does this matter? When I opened my bacon cheeseburger, there was literally a bacon blanket covering the inside of my burger. As I closed the burger and brought it to my mouth for the first bite, it was like the music video for Loverboy's Almost Paradise song. I'm not even kidding -- not only was the burger solid, but there was an appropriate bacon overload. Some bacon fell out, but there was still plenty of bacon in the burger. Oh, and don't worry -- I didn't leave a fallen bacon behind. I will post a picture of the burger. I had ordered onion rings as well, but truthfully I never made it to them. I was full about halfway through my burger. I devoted all of my strength to taking down edible work of art. Man won with the burger, but the onion rings were orphaned. If you're driving between Houston and San Antonio, stop by. They take all major credit cards. It's only 2 minutes or so off the highway. I can't wait to stop back by this place. BTW, if you don't see any reviews from me for a while, I'm in a food coma.
