Hills and mountains are formed by vast underground food deposits, which, over time, stretch the landscape into soft mounds of untapped edibility. Dig into the bounty of Texas with today’s deal: for $15, you get $30 worth of seafood, steaks, and more at Pelican's Landing.

Situated near the shore at Port Aransas, the hospitable gourmands at Pelican's Landing serve up a blend of fresh seafood and steaks, including a special seafood option—diners can bring in their own catch for the chef to fry up and serve in a bed of market rice, mango salsa, and steamed broccoli ($10 for up to 12 oz./person). For a meal without a DIY portion, delve into the standard menu for appetizer fare such as the spicy twice-baked potato ($5). Specialties of the house include doors and a roof, as well as entrees such as the saucy hickory-barbecue danish ribs and fries ($22), a jumbo lump-crab-cake burger, topped with a hearty dollop of jalapeno tarter sauce ($15), and USDA-Prime rib eye, served in a 16-ounce slab grilled to order ($36). A slice of Pelican's key lime pie closes the meal with a fusion flourish, housing its fruity cargo within a pecan pie crust ($8).
