Fun Fact #1: What does Thomas Edison and barbecue have in common? Well, did you know Thomas Edison designed the very first commercial briquet factory in 1921? He did.

Fun Fact #2: It’s National BBQ Day, baby!

Fun Fact #3: What the heck does “briquet” mean anyway? It’s a block of charcoal! 🤯 Okay.

Conclusion: Thank you Thomas Edison. And thank you USA for BBQ Day. Finally, head to Jaws Bar-B-Que, Butcher’s Korner, Tony’s BBQ or Sea Ranch Café for your finger-licking fill! 🍗😋

You might look at this here cowboy on the beach and think we staged it all. But, we hosted The Texas Outdoor Writers Association’s Annual Conference over the weekend and naturally found ourselves beachside with board member, Herman Brune, who just so happens to be a real-life Texas rancher. Why didn’t we think of this before? A cowboy on the beach, it’s just SO Texas! #loveportarthurtx #towa

We know you know. The parking lot has been packed since opening day! But we wanted to tell you anyway that it’s good. The sushi is good, the appetizers are good, the drinks are good. And the interiors? Fun, party vibes or romantic date night - you pick! And, drum roll: it’s all you can eat (if you want). YUKA Sushi is exactly what we’d hoped for, and it’s in the old Luby’s spot on Memorial Blvd. Share your 🍣 🍱 using #flavorsofPATX #sushi - you’ll thank us later!
