In this flavor-packed segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dive into the Dallas Observer’s list of the best Tex-Mex spots in DFW. But what starts as a celebration of enchiladas and elote quickly spirals into a hilarious story of deception, radio politics, and a prank that never quite landed.The crew debates the top spots, shares personal favorites, and breaks down the difference between a flauta and a taquito.
KT recounts the time he was framed for stealing food from Desperados meant for another show—only to sniff out the setup and ruin the bit.“Prank some dumbass then. Don’t prank me.”Turns out Mike Sirois had a hand in the failed prank, and KT’s refusal to play along sparked a weekend-long cold war. The segment is a perfect blend of local flavor, behind-the-scenes radio drama, and the kind of chemistry that makes this show a DFW staple.🤣 Funniest Moments:
