On his bucket list

On his bucket list

Recognize this face? The Reporter certainly did when he was spotted downtown early Thursday afternoon, Shane McAuliffe, creater and host of the Texas Bucket List, a syndicated Texas-travel show. Since premiering in 2013 the show has brought viewers stories from all parts of Texas, music from the Lone Star State and trips to lots of great restaurants. It’s mostly programmed on weekends. What story was the Round Rock native pursuing in Rockdale? He got hungry, stopping with his family at Brett’s Backyard Barbecue, a local eatery which has won its share of statewide awards.
