Here, Spanish missions rise beside glass towers, and every block tells a story — of Tejano roots, German bakers, military families, and dreamers who found their way to the heart of Texas. San Antonio is a crossroads — of old and new, of tradition and reinvention, of cultures that meet and mingle beneath the wide, sunlit sky.

As seen on SA Live - Friday, Nov. 6, 2026

SAN ANTONIO – Today @ 10:30 a.m., Thanksgiving plates, barbecue bragging rights and a little Arendelle. The show opened with a full Thanksgiving spread laid out in the studio by Davila’s BBQ, the Tex-Mex barbecue family operation that got its start in Seguin decades ago. The pitmaster, a cookbook author who also appears on the Netflix series On the Road, walked through a holiday menu built for people who would rather spend the day with family than in the kitchen: turkey, gravy and cornbread dressing as the base, with green beans, mashed potatoes, peach cobbler and banana pudding as add-ons. A new dessert, an Abuelita’s hot chocolate bread pudding, is being featured at the Universal City location.
