The Heart and Soul of Texas
BBQ: If you’ve had Texas BBQ, you know it’s like nothing else. We take our brisket, ribs, and sausage seriously. Don’t even get me started on the smoked meats—it’s an art form here.
Whataburger: There’s nothing like biting into a Whataburger after a long day. It’s not just a fast food chain; it’s a Texas institution. From the Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich to the classic Whataburger, we take pride in our hometown burger joint.
Beer: From craft breweries to our local Texas beers, you’ll never run out of new drinks to try. Whether you’re grabbing a cold one at a local brewery or enjoying a beer at a tailgate, there’s always a perfect Texas brew to fit the moment.
Sunsets: Texas is home to some of the most breathtaking sunsets. The sky lights up with shades of orange, pink, and purple over the wide-open landscape. It’s a sight you have to see to believe.
Bluebonnets: There’s nothing like seeing Texas’ state flower, the bluebonnet, in full bloom during spring. The sight of fields of blue will make you understand why people come from all over to witness the beauty.
Road Trips: Everything in Texas is big, and the road trips are no exception. Whether it’s cruising through the Hill Country, taking a scenic drive along the Gulf Coast, or exploring small towns with big personalities, road trips are one of the best ways to see this state.
Friendly Folks: Texas is known for its friendly people. Whether you’re a neighbor or a visitor, you’ll find that folks here are always ready with a warm smile, a wave, and a “Howdy”. Hospitality is second nature here.
