NEW EPISODE: FLAVORS OF TRAVEL - Oxtail Alfredo in San Antonio

San Antonio's East Side is where culture runs deep and flavors run even deeper. In our latest episode, Marie’s at J's Eatery, a soul food gem on the East Side of San Antonio.

They've created something the whole city is buzzing about: oxtail Alfredo. It's the perfect marriage of Southern comfort and Italian elegance—slow-braised oxtail, fall-off-the-bone tender, draped in a creamy Alfredo sauce that respects both traditions without diluting either.

Watch the episode now and get Marie's recipe for oxtail Alfredo so you can recreate the magic at home. | LINK TO RECIPE

CULTURE
SHERLY UNDERWOOD X THE LAYOVER PODCAST 

In 2025, we wanted to interview one celebrity on The Layover Podcast who was visiting San Antonio for their show or event. On this show, we talk about the biggest topics in travel and culture with the biggest names you know, and those you should.

For San Antonio, it’s our way of connecting visiting artists to the community through conversation, culture, and fun.

Check out our interview with Sheryl. Oh, and join the conversation online when Sheryl asked who has the BEST soul food restaurant in San Antonio. There were LOTS of opinions.
