Trending

• Being left at the altar might be a fear for many engaged couples, but the officiant isn’t usually the worrying party. Fort Worth couple Luis and Sarah Garcia were at a loss when the officiant never showed up, but luckily barbecue caterer and ordained minister Jube Joubert of Jube's Smokehouse saved the day. 💍 (NBC DFW)

Watch

• Speaking of barbecue, Hulu’s award-winning series “BBQuest: Beyond the Pit” made a couple stops in Cowtown to chow down on the Lone Star State’s favorite food. Check out Goldee’s in episode three, “Texas Trailblazers” + Panther City BBQ in episode four “Family and Community.” 🍖 (Fort Worth Magazine)

THE WRAP

Editor's pick: I don’t know about y’all but I took a packed lunch to school every day from kindergarten through graduation — and 90% of the time it was a PB&J, Cheetos, and Oreos. Looking for something different to pack in your or your kiddo’s lunch this fall? Check out all the deliciously weird pickle-themed snacks at the Best Maid Pickle Emporium on Vickery Boulevard.
