“You can have ANYTHING in a breakfast taco. I had planned to vote for brisket but you can have brisket IN a breakfast taco. I believe San Antonio, TX in general does it best.”
“The culture, dedication, and size of Texas brisket and BBQ make it superior to any southern BBQ that may compete. I say that because any BBQ above Tennessee is fake.”
“Chili has been in Texas long before current day bbq. And was voted on by the state legislature in the 70’s!! Doris Coats of Irving TX is the most decorated chili cook in history”
“Everybody knows brisket goes with Texas like exes.”
“From scratch not frozen. Mary's Cafe, Strawn Texas. Perfect gravy, add mashed potatoes and green beans seasoned with bacon grease and life is good!”
Texas votes in two languages. Central Texas smoke gives Brisket, cooked low over post oak. Tex-Mex answers with Enchiladas under chili gravy, Fajitas, Queso, and Breakfast Tacos, which start every morning between Houston and El Paso. Chili Con Carne, no beans and no tomato, has been the official state dish since 1977. King Ranch Casserole and Chicken Fried Steak feed the ranch and the diner. The Kolache is Czech. Pecan Pie closes. Texas is famous for brisket, and has had an official state dish since 1977 anyway. So what is Texas's official state dish? That question is the whole point.
