Who DOESN’T need a vacation from all this? If you’re into food you’re in luck – Texas has some of the best food in the country and we’ve put together a list of the state’s best food cities:
Austin: Austin’s deliciously weird and like any great college town it’s full of creative, casual eats at killer prices. From barbeque to a bustling organic scene (Whole Foods was founded here) Austin’s a great place to eat.
San Antonio: Tex-Mex is bigger here than possibly any other city in Texas and for good reason. From homemade tortillas to all kinds of great mole sauces San Antonio is a foodie paradise.
Houston: Here it’s all about, you guessed it, barbeque. Pulled pork and beef brisket are an art form here and smoking meat is taken very, very seriously in this part of the state. Come hungry and don’t plan on sticking to any type of diet while you’re eating your way through Houston.
