From BBQ to Blue Bell: 12 Must-Try Foods That Define Texas Flavor
In a state the size of Texas, you have a lot of great food options. Cities such as Austin and San Antonio are often on lists of top food cities in the country.
Here are 12 things you simply must try!
If you only have time for one meal in Texas, make it barbecue. The Brisket gets top billing, but the pork ribs and sausage are usually out of this world, too. You can try one of the state’s top barbecue joints.
If you have time for just two meals, then the second should be Tex-Mex. After all, the category originated here as a Texas-influenced take on traditional Mexican food.
Texas didn’t invent this food, but as is often the case, Texans claim their version is the biggest and the best. Cube steak is drenched with a thick flour-based batter and then deep-fried to crispy perfection.
Chili is another food that didn’t originate in Texas but has its own Texas brand. True Texas chili has no beans and instead has extra beef and as much spice as the chef wants to add.
Tacos are a Texas staple for all 3 meals of the day. However, if you want to become a superhero for the day, all you have to do is treat the office to breakfast tacos from a local restaurant or food truck.
