Day Trip to Port Isabel 🌊 (FULL EPISODE) S10 E11

[@paulahansen3758]

Although I am watching this after some of the details have changed, this is my beloved hometown that I have returned to after many years of living elsewhere. There is no place like home! Thank you for this episode.🙌🏼🥰🖖🏼

[@TheDaytripper]

So nice of you

[@scot7619]

The lighthouse now has an exact replica of the light originally made for it that is now installed and operational. Thanks for the awesome video showcasing PI!

[@pluna-salinas3776]

Unfortunately, Manuel's has closed its doors within the last year or so...😥 It was a great restaurant with amazing food and a wonderful owner & staff. Miss it! 💗

[@phatfoodieguybesteats3557]

Fortunately they came back and are at double days as you will see it there along high way 100 😊

[@phatfoodieguybesteats3557]

Go for the mojon my personal local favorite having it as a kid growing up

[@Blissful.1]

It’s OPEN! Double Days on Hwy 100

[@timothygalvan1005]

My hometown. Love that place. It's a hidden treasure.

Fort Ringgold, located in Rio Grande City, Texas, was occupied by Union or Confederate forces when they fought each other over control of South Texas dating back to 1861. The historic, and now remodeled, home of Robert E. Lee was converted into a museum as well that is located inside Fort Ringgold. Fort Ringgold has served many purposes after the Civil War era from military barracks to present-day school grounds. It is rich in history and is a must-see location if you're ever in the area! I was raised in Rio Grande City. I attended Fort Ringgold 5th Grade Campus(1999-2000) and Fort Ringgold Middle School(2000-2003). Back when the Robert E. Lee home was dilapidated and basically sitting in ruin. It was amazing to watch them restore the home and turn it into a beautiful home and museum.

[@TheDaytripper]

This is great stuff. I need to look it up.

[@jacobortegatv1598]

As a native Texan, i really enjoy this show.

[@phatfoodieguybesteats3557]

My mamos home had dolls dancing on the cieling floating! Here in port Isabel 😂. I know scary but yea them dolls are serious business

[@gingerman5123]

I was just down there for the Starship launch. I found it odd there was no mention of Starbase until I saw this was filmed in 2019. Joe’s Seafood and Hopper Haus were my favorite places to eat.

[@dangregg3189]

Another great video. Great job Chet.

[@HasanibnSabah]

Sitting here exiled to the DC area and wishing I had breakfast tacos like back home…

[@kathleen2754]

Fish bite before and after a good rain 👍

[@juderickman8275]

Per these comments, people are genuinely fond of Port Isabel

[@airgunfun4248]

Man oh man they better get on top of that hog problem. The damage they will do in that kind of environment is off the charts. Awesome episode I can tell you had fun on that one. Seafood feast at the end looked outstanding

[@FullyLoad3d.556]

First thing I thought

[@M.L.E.85]

Man-You-Ells…😂😂😂😂.

[@abundiobernal7544]

South Texas. Las Margaritas Restaurant… McAllen just go

[@RogueKarma]

It's not calamari until you cook it 😛

[@Cycology_Major]

That’s right- it’s just squid until then :)

[@kevinclick9026]

Did you know that the column that supports a spiral staircase is called a newel?

[@robertintexas]

We are planning a trip to Port Isabel later this summer. This video is great timing, Chet. Unfortunately, I did a search and it looks like Manuel's is permanently closed :(

[@PastelTsuki817]

It’s not really closed? You can still order tacos for them. But that if you know them.

[@cannonfodder6299]

Go to Isabel's for a good Con Todo. I believe Isabel's was the first to serve them, I remember getting them as a kid back in the late 70s

[@BransonDillon]

Ah... that beginning made me hungry.... My birth town .

[@pacificformula]

Great video!

[@benjones4358]

Should’ve gone to pirates landing!

[@jaYD13473]

I'm enjoying the love for Port Isabel, but bro, Manuel's has been closed for over two years. That said, it's worth checking out the lighthouse. They've re-lit it.

[@TheDaytripper]

Yeah. I'm so sad about Manuel's. Big loss for Port Isabel.

[@Hunting2Restore]

How fun!❤

[@kevinclick9026]

The very first state bird btw

[@jmcosmos]

YES there was a bigger lamp than that little watchlight in the light! And even better, it's there again. The Texas Historical Commission funded construction and installation of a 3rd-order Fresnel lens identical to the original, which was illuminuated for the first time in December 2022. Visitors can now see the lamphouse as it was in the late 1800s. (Third-order lenses are roughly five feet tall.)

[@joselandin4494]

My birth town ❤

[@campbellmathews6925]

[@Lunaria_Vale]

Ah... that beginning made me hungry...

[@HeyChannelDani]

The actual pirate ship??? "Don't fact check that, just trust me on that, ok?" 😂

[@2014xtep]

Con toro? 😂

[@sayucofwtc6715]

Hahaha ceviche is so basic to make, 4 ingredient to add to sea food and 2 seasoning... there is no such thing as family recipe. It can only be done one way.

[@maximolacerante8808]

this town was established by mexican settlers after the mexican war of independence, when texas was part of mexico.

[@dgc940]

Man you sure like Mex food huh. I love it but not as much as you do! I do know Ive eat at 4-6 places you have eat at including my hometown and they must cook special for you. Thats all I will say. I do like your shows though!

[@lohndavis3794]

It’s a little wonder you don’t get Fat ?
