Day Trip to Orange 🍊 (FULL EPISODE) S5 E10

THROWBACK EPISODE - This episode originally aired on PBS on May 29, 2014. Some of the locations may have changed. Check thedaytripper.com for the most up-to-date information.
You don’t have to cross over into Louisiana to get a taste of Cajun culture. All you have to do is head to Southeast Texas where the bayous and tall trees make the border with the neighboring Pelican State nothing but a man-made facade.
The place to start your trip to Orange is at one of the Stark Cultural Venues. Each one can sell you a combo pass to all three (Stark House, Stark Museum of Art and Shangri La Gardens) which you’ll definitely want to buy. To learn about the history of Orange’s most affluent family, visit the W. H. Stark House Museum, an incredible 14,000 square foot Victorian home built as a showroom for the forest by the family who owned the largest sawmill in Texas at the time.
While the Stark home feels like a museum full of lavish decorations, the real museum is the Stark Museum of Art across the street housing one of the best collections of American Western Art in the country. Rather than keep their collection locked away, H.J. Lutcher Stark decided to put it in a museum that would be outstanding even in the Big Apple, but it’s here in the Small Orange.
You better believe that the good folks in Southeast Texas know how to eat. For lunch in a casual old dairy building with chef-inspired cooking head to the Old Orange Cafe. The spicy chicken sandwich is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.
No matter the occasion, the time is always right to head to Robert’s Meat Market & Steakhouse with a Cajun market on one side and a tasty steakhouse on the other serving hand-cut meat and Cajun classics that will make you fall in love with the people and food of Orange, Texas.
For a outdoor dose of exquisite beauty, head to Shangri-La Botanical Gardens with absolutely stunning gardens, greenhouses and wildlife viewing areas to enjoy all that this tropical bayou has to offer. I highly recommend a guided boat ride that will give you a brand new appreciation for all the beauty this part of Texas has to offer.

Is chicken fried steak the same as country fried steak?

[@shiningwhitelight9710]

Chicken fried steak is dredged in an egg then flour batter (hence the "chicken"). Country fried steak is usually just flour salt & pepper.

[@DougFregia]

I've been in orange my whole life. Used to be a lot better town with more stuff to do. I remember drag racing on chemical row, the theatre, the bowling alley and the circle that we used to drive round and round til the law showed up.

[@JimmyJam7571]

Bayo con dios amigoes

[@karenr67]

Yumm

[@markcollins919]

Is it Chicken Fried Steak or Country Fried Steak???

[@MarieL10]

I was raised in Bridge City just 6 miles south of Orange. I have visited every venue you experienced except for the air boat rides. It’s a fantastic little town. A lot of beautiful old homes and buildings. Right off of I 10. Worth a stop on your travels. 26:24 👍🏻🧓🏻🇺🇸Texas

[@Juggernaut-fg2up]

You must be talking about a different place than where I was born and lived. Southeast Texas is nothing but a combination of run-down oil towns that have incredibly High pollution levels, the cancer rates are multiple times the national average, the schools are the worst in the state, crime is highest. Just a run down crappy area

[@MarieL10]

Wow. Sorry you feel that way. Not my experience.

[@Juggernaut-fg2up]

@@MarieL10 it's just the things locals ignore, especially the pollution it kills a huge amount of people every year but the locals just keep their head in the sand and pretend like it's not even a problem. And because of that the economy suffers, nobody's going to move to that area from anywhere else because of the horrible schools, the pollution, the crime and the infrastructure. It was called the Great white flight when everybody who could afford to leave started leaving in the 1970s and 80s it has been all downhill since then. Everything I said can be backed up with proof so it's not like it's just my opinion or my personal experience

[@elvergudo6098]

I was told never to stop in orange texas
