      Part One: Food in Texas

      From the prairies to the Gulf Coast, the Lone Star State has it all

       by Caroline Stuart

      When we think of Texas, it is inevitable—and expected—that legend springs to mind. It is, after all, the second-largest state in the U.S. and home to larger-than-life legends Buddy Holly, Lyndon B. Johnson, Scott Joplin, and Gene Autry. From its panhandle on down to the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande, Texas is filled to its ten-gallon brim with cattle drives and chuck wagon meals, ornery longhorn steer, and oil gushers spewing black gold.

      Everything here is big, from its prairies, to its ranches, to its oil baron mansions. Make no mistake, the Lone Star State is known for the serious appetites of its loyal Texans. And the history of Texas food is equally impressive. Over hundreds of years, its culinary heart and soul has been shaped by countless inhabitants, each stirring their own ingredients into timeless Lone Star recipes.
