Love watching home shows? Check out these two home renovation programs.

Fixer Upper
Fixer Upper is a fairly new HGTV show that follows married couple Chip and Joanna Gaines as they pair wary homebuyers with run-down, older houses in the Waco-Dallas area. The couple sees the potential in these older homes and helps the buyers to renovate them back to their former glory, from the intricate crown molding to the gleaming hardwood floors. All of the Gaines’s renovations feature a rustic charm that’s very unique to Texas, and once you see Joanna’s storage shed filled with potential design elements that she purchased from junk shops around town, you might become a fan of the show.

House Hunters Renovation
The most DIY-heavy of the House Hunters shows, House Hunters Renovation focuses on homebuyers who don’t mind getting their hands dirty when purchasing a new home. The hour-long show follows the usual formula of a buyer choosing between three potential homes, but the last half of the program is dedicated entirely to the renovation process after they've purchased the property.

If you can’t think of any two things that go together more perfectly than doughnuts and coffee, then you simply have to add River City Donut and Coffee to your list of must-visit spots in Universal City. This independent doughnut shop is located in a standalone building that you can’t miss because of its bright pink color.

Although it might look a bit outdated from the outside, there’s nothing outdated about the freshly baked doughnuts inside! Regulars rave about the warm glazed donuts and sweet kolaches that are made fresh every morning, and the small selection of flavors like plain glazed, chocolate-covered, and cake varieties would rival the dozens of different options at more modern chains. If you’re craving a good, old-fashioned glazed donut and a piping hot cup of coffee, you’ll find it at River City Donut and Coffee!

River City Donut and Coffee is open 4:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. weekdays and 4:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries offers the convenience of a fast food restaurant, but most regular customers would agree that the juicy burgers and crispy fries are of a much higher quality than the usual fast food fare. The chain's Live Oak location is decorated in Five Guy’s signature red and white checkerboard pattern, and it hosts the usual barrel of peanuts by the door that guests can snack on while waiting for their food to arrive.

Five Guys’ menu consists of all-American fare classics like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and spicy fries, and everything is entirely made to order with a wide variety of toppings from which to choose. The state-of-the-art soda fountain is also a unique perk, as it enables you to mix your choice of sodas on a digital touch screen.

Whether you choose to have a casual lunch in the restaurant or take your burgers to-go, you'll likely find that Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a delicious and affordable indulgence.
