Chicken and Waffles
Bring the flavor of the South to your breakfast table no matter where you live on the Mason-Dixon line with this traditional Southern dish. The savory taste of fried chicken contrasts the sweet waffles for a unique flavor that’s deliciously decadent.

See International Art at the San Antonio Museum of Art

Central Texas residents are lucky to have access to the San Antonio Museum of Art, a fantastic institution that truly reflects the unique cultural traditions of the area. Housed in a building formerly occupied by the original Lone Star brewery, the museum opened in 1981. The museum's collection has steadily grown ever since, most notably with a sizable bequest from numerous trustees. Leonora and Walter F. Brown, Houston philanthropic notables, donated their Asian art collection to the museum, making it the largest museum for works from that continent in the southern United States.

Visitors rave about the diverse and eclectic holdings, which are intelligently grouped. The San Antonio Museum of Art also hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year, from lively jazz nights to talks and film presentations. Tuesdays and Sundays offer free admission during certain hours.

Raising Cane’s: Dig Into Some Chicken Fingers

At Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, every meal centers on a helping of chicken fingers. Raising Cane’s brags that its chicken is never frozen, and fans say they can taste that this is true. Choose from one of four combo meals that contain three to six chicken fingers. The kid’s meal gets you two chicken fingers, sides, a drink, and a prize. The sandwich combo for adults, on the other hand, includes three chicken fingers on a Kaiser roll. Sides include fries, coleslaw, and Texas toast.

Buy tailgates—quantities of 25, 50, 75, or 100 chicken fingers—to feed a group. Locals love the chicken fingers, the special dipping sauce, the slaw, the fries, the Texas toast, and the lemonade. The quality of the food remains consistent with each order, regulars say.
