10 Foods That Scream ‘Texas’

We Texans are known for loving everything about our state. Nothing more so than the food here. 

Having had the chance to travel the globe during my stint in the United States Navy, I realized just how great the food is here in the Lone Star State.

Obviously, I’m a little biased, because I was born and raised here. But I honestly feel the food here is on another level. And I would be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that if you’re a Native Texan, you agree with me 100%.

We’re lucky to live in one of the most diverse states in the country. 

Without further ado, let’s look at ten foods that boldly scream Texas.
