Nice video, makes me miss home lol. Especially loved seeing Lufkin BBQ and Ray's, grew up eating both, my dad was actually a fairly well known guy for Lufkin before he passed away in 2009, he was known as the Kirby man, he and my granpa owned/ran the local Kirby Co. vacuum cleaner shop downtown near the fire station, so anyone local thats been there for year will maybe remember that place. It closed awhile ago after he passed because he held it together, and the main reason I left Lufkin, though I love to visit for some of the restaurants I grew up eating with him, especially Ray's. I also ate a lot of Lufkin BBQ with him, not sure if its still there or good, but Chen's was a favorite of ours, he always got General George's chicken. Also, I think you should try and feature La Unica's, either the sit down restaurant or the Express, because they have some of the best al pastor and other Mexican food in Texas, and I used to live in San Antonio, so I've had some amazing Mexican food there. Thanks for a nostalgic time.
