Texans are lucky. Their state knows how to master two of the best cuisines, despite them being so different. Texas is home to not only some of the best barbecue in the nation, but to great Tex-Mex, too (obviously). But that’s not all this great state can cook up. The state is also famous for its epic burgers ― and consequently for breaking diets.
We haven’t even touched on the kolaches, yet.
But don’t take our word for it, hear it from the tweets of Texans (and Texas visitors) directly. Here are 17 tweets that perfectly capture the beauty and awe that is Texas food.
A balance diet means that I have a taco in both hands @TexasHumor #texastacos
