Texas Bucket List

Shane McAuliffe came to Hempstead for the Texas Bucket List and left talking about a cup of corn. He called it the unicorn of corn, and then he did what our regulars do: he tried to name every layer.

Roasted corn. Mayonnaise. Lime. Cotija. The spicy sauce that sits on top and does not apologize. He said it was worth the drive, which is the review we still hear at the window.

The segment put Elotes Bravos on a map a lot of Texans already use when they want a reason to get in the car. We did not change the recipe for the camera.

If you have not made the drive, the stand in Hempstead is still the place where that cup started. The stadium line is the same hands and the same elote.
