Day Trip to Corsicana 📣 (FULL EPISODE) S13 E4

Did you know Corsicana is the birthplace of several Texan traditions - all of which have gone on to become internationally famous? Of course (icana) you did! Home of DeLuxe fruitcakes, Wolf Brand Chili, and world-class cheerleading, Corsicana has a history - and a future! - of brilliant, hardworking Texan innovation.
Kick off your daytrip with a latte that will put you in the mood to two-step at Timbers! Caffeine is an essential part of any adventure, after all.
Collin Street Bakery has been baking their internationally renowned DeLuxe fruitcakes for 125 years. Almost 1/3 of every cake is made of pecans - the state nut (and tree) of Texas! Trying one should be on every Texan’s bucket list, but don’t stop at just the fruitcake.
Across the Street Diner has been serving Corsicanans for over a century. Beginning its life as Hashop’s Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, Across the Street now serves a global range of culinary options, including charcuterie, seafood, steaks, and Wolf Brand Chili.
Food Belly is the only Indian restaurant Navarro County - but that’s okay, because everything they serve is incredible! Their most well-known dish is probably the tikka masala pizza, but with a menu as extensive as theirs, you can’t really go wrong with any choice. Be wise with your spice level!
Navarro College is a public, comprehensive two-year community college with four campuses. The main campus is in Corsicana and is home to the best cheerleading program in the world! Think you’ve got what it takes to “make mat?”
The mission of The Pearce Museum at Navarro College is to connect with the past by engaging visitors through personal perspectives of the Civil War and the American West - with a little ancient mystery thrown in! Located on the main campus of Navarro College, the museum is home to several permanent collections, including the enigmatic “Malakoff Man.”
The Richland-Chambers Reservoir is the best place around for catching “hybrid striper” bass, as well as catfish, crappie, and white bass. If you find yourself “having a day” (like Chet does during the episode) make sure you adhere to the appropriate TPWD limits. Don’t mess with Texas lakes!

You forgot to show our street potholes..🤣

[@Cyrindaa]

I love seeing a high quality vlog about my hometown. I hope you enjoyed your time in the Can! Come back and see us again anytime

[@mermaidheather5049]

The real show at Collin Street Bakery should be the cherry icebox cookies!

[@GfYs86]

Exactly!!!

[@pattytheseeker8902]

I have the recipe, I make them 3 to 4 times a year. I triple the recipe. Everybody loves them in my family. I make'em then barely get any. My family being pigs & gobbling then all up!!!😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@rlccar8518]

My dad went to Malakoff high school and they used to play against Corsicana. He has spoken more than once about that amazing fruitcake.

[@SMcKee-ic5oh]

I went to Malakoff Elementary and one of the Malakoff Man stones was displayed in our foyer for a long time. My dad was the school principal so I got to spend hours studying the markings on the stone when no one was around.

[@bletchdroshek5984]

The cherry ice box cookies there are AMAZING.

[@RandyFelts2121]

Thanks for doing my town on your channel.

[@TheDaytripper]

Of course. Great town.

[@user-nc2kz2mn5v]

I am British and grew up on delicious fruit cake, we use it for Christenings, Weddings & Christmas. Sorry to say The tin was better than the cake inside. YUK!

[@texasrangers4]

Great Job Chet. Corsicana is a great town.

[@bravobravoh1344]

You must be seeing a different town than what many others have seen hahaha

[@cameraman655]

Love Corsicana, visit regularly when driving from H-Town to Big-D.

[@theorphanedpotato1879]

We do like to abbreviate everything, don't we!

[@texasrangers4]

The Fruit cake is awesome 👌. I eat it every Christmas.

[@bletchdroshek5984]

The only fruitcake I eat

[@user-cu4sy2ep2u]

Im from corsicana😊

[@LaaLooTv]

Ive been living here for a few years now & Food belly is amazing

[@user-nc2kz2mn5v]

Now I would be impressed with the Indian food it looks delicious.

[@ChrisSmith-Texan]

Chet If you want to really know about Wolfe Brand Chili call Jo Ann West Barry. of Dallas The daughter of Mr. West the inventor of Wolfe Brand Chile. It's one story that would be a great section for your series.

[@barbarapeszle3693]

Love your shows! They make my day,,,

[@TheDaytripper]

Thank y'a kindly.

[@ricktaylor5397]

Wow! I thought there were only about 500 fruitcakes in existence and they were passed down from those lucky (?) families from generation to generation.

[@GfYs86]

First of all, apologies for just now watching this video. Second, thank you for making the town I was born and raised in - came back to in my 30’s - look so awesome … wow. Last and most important, (Personal opinion) Collin Street bakery’s best treat is by far - BY FAR - the cherry icebox cookies that is all. 🤠

[@beanallene]

I love eating at food belly 🥳

[@user-vw2gm6lf9y]

You make me so happy! Thank you! Blanca

[@TheDaytripper]

🤠

[@nickman0303]

Just here to say I'm proud of you for good job with all the videos I've watched. Your what I've wanted. Local guy (I think) visiting places that are in my state with what seems to be trip worthy weekend getaways.

[@grkrrr]

You missed the mark on this video. No Russell Stovers?

[@theorphanedpotato1879]

I live in purdon area, just outside Corsicana and it isnt as good as you think some places of it are a shithole

[@bletchdroshek5984]

😂 love the vintage wolf brand chili commercial

[@Highvibes777]

I drive almost an hour to eat at the Indian restaurant!!!! It's awesome and closer than Dallas.🎉🎉🎉. I was so excited I found it.

[@NormalRabbit12]

I live in this town! 😁

[@frankmedrano2007]

Oh wow , ur here in my hometown of Corsicana Texas , hell yea …

[@ronjohnson5769]

The Can , had some great times there in college

[@aaroncopelandofficial1896]

Do your history before you go. The officer is a hero. First officer down in the Dallas shooting. The old restaurant downtown has changed ownership 9000 times. Not the original. Ross Ramey is a hoss when it comes to hunting and fishing. Should have went to the Lefty Frizzle museum. Way more history there than a new Indian restaurant.

[@TheDaytripper]

The Lefty museum is very sparse but cool. We left a few things out. And we knew about the officer but didn't feel it was disrespectful. Every statue is a person with a history and we didn't have time to tell them. Hopefully folks will learn that on their own as they explore.

[@TheDaytripper]

The Indian restaurant is awesome. I hope youve been.

[@akal8775]

Corsicana also had a netflix series

[@nancykennon310]

Went to this small town to do an inventory job. Our crew was from inter city Austin and decided to shoplist. Wrong. That black cop picked that kid up and body slammed for having a smart mouth . I'll never forget the cop saying "we don't talk like that around women in our town"

[@texasrangers4]

lol

[@cameraman655]

Huh...?

[@doublecrossedswine112]

I don't know how you come here and have anything good to say about it. You had to try very hard to avoid the overwhelming poverty and the crumbling houses and roads.

[@TheDaytripper]

Focus on the bright spots and more light will pour in.

[@christianoliver3572]

Chicken Tikka Masala is really a British and Indian dish which is fine but it's just not really that authentic.

[@renaenolen8461]

Their streets are too narrow. 4 lanes wide going 2 directions. Literally 2 inches between mirrors. , makes the navel pucker. One good point, the Russell Stovers store.

[@WaynJul]

I am sorry but fruit cake is the curse of all relatives.

[@bletchdroshek5984]

Not from that place. You must be from California 😂

[@WaynJul]

@@bletchdroshek5984 I will try anything once since they are not related. Knuck Knuck.

[@doublecrossedswine112]

@@bletchdroshek5984 You eat that urination deodorizer? Been here 45 years and you are just gross.

Trip fans here's the goal. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8

[@farmerjoe338]

Corsicana is in a dry county, this is a killer for population these days simple and true fact I spent a week there and all I heard was how backwards the city and county were..

[@ms88888]

Expound please

[@mikeadler2755]

It hasn’t been dry in decades
