Roland Garanzuay

After a long class, it's common for Texas State students to grab a snack. And, in this Bobcat Update, Roland Garanzuay tells us about a local favorite, called the Manske Roll. Manske Rolls are pretty good for breakfast, too.

Gil's Broiler is perhaps the oldest restaurant in San Marcos. Their char-broiled burgers and reasonable prices attract Texas State students as well as San Marcos locals. It's the Manske Roll, however, that has made the restaurant famous nationwide. Long-time employee John Redding says he isn't surprised to see people from across the country come to Gil's to get their hands on one.

The Manske Roll, named after creators Roland and Ruth Manske, is no ordinary cinnamon roll. Redding says the roll is 100 percent homemade with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives and has been made the same way since the 1940's. Texas State alumnus Cole Patterson says the Manske Roll is a no-brainer.

Stand Up: After one bite of this Manske Roll it's easy to see why it's the oldest snack in San Marcos. For Bobcat Update, I'm Roland Garanzuay.
