Kent Rollins is a story-teller who is second-to-none. He’s also a cowboy and a chuckwagon cook. So, it stands to reason, he knows a thing or two about producing some mouthwatering food that we here in the Lone Star State can appreciate. In a video upload to his official YouTube channel, Cowboy Kent Rollins shows you how to make Texas Twinkies and Armadillo Eggs, two versions of the Jalapeno Popper we’ve come to know and love.

According to Yeti, Rollins’ “chicken fried steak outperformed Bobby Flay’s on the Food Network’s TV show Throwdown! With Bobby Flay.” So, if you’re wondering if he can cook, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Not only that, but he has a character about him that is witty and loaded with country charm. Rollins also has a ranch lifestyle enthusiasm that’s contagious, and he spends much of his time traveling across the country with his wife Shannon, sharing stories and feeding cowboys at a variety of agricultural locales, just like a top-notch chuckwagon cook would.

These gastronomical delights may at first make you wonder what in the world could be so great about them, until you take your first bite.
