Deep Dish Pizza thumbnail Food Features:
Deep Dish Pizza
by Cheryl Hill-Burrier
When thinking about great pizza, most of us envision some little restaurant with checkered tablecloths in Brooklyn or Chicago, but there's a big difference between the thin-crust New York-style pizza and Chicago’s deep-dish pizza. What's more, a Texan had something to do with it!


Traditional Texas Fare:
Mexican Buffet thumbnail Mexican Buffets
by John Raven, Ph.B.
When you decide it is time to have some friends over for a visitation, you are obligated to feed them if they are going to be there over a couple of hours. At least that is the way it works in Texas. I've been thinking what would be good to feed a few friends that did not involve a whole lot of expense or manual labor, and I think a Mexican buffet is the way to go. You provide the parts, and your friends assemble their own dishes according to the way they like it.

Beverage & Bar Features: Shiner bottles
Shiner Beer - Brewed in Shiner, Texas
by Lori Grossman
If you're a Texan, or have lived here for a while, you know what it means when someone asks you if you'd like a Shiner. For the rest of you, let me explain that I'm not referring to what happens after you get punched in the eye, so bear with me. I'm talking about what used to be one of the best-kept secrets in the Lone Star State -- Shiner Beer.

Ninfas Texas Restaurants:
Ninfa's Restaurant: Back to Basics
by Randy Lankford
When Ninfa Lorenzo, better known as "Mama Ninfa," opened her tiny Mexican restaurant on Navigation Boulevard in Houston in 1973, she never dreamed it would grow to more than 70 locations and become one of Texas' best-known brands. She never intended it to be a "brand" at all. She was just trying to provide for her children.

Jersey cow thumbnail Dessert Spotlight:
Condensed Milk: Sweet Texas Inspiration
by Lori Grossman
When Gail Borden decided that he wanted a new kind of milk that didn't need refrigeration, he was uncowed. The Texas resident's invention resulted in ways to make desserts like flan, pudding and candy more toothsome. Includes recipes for Ancho Chile Flan and a special recipe for banana pudding.

Prize Bull thumbnail Food Features:
Texas Bred & Grass Fed: Beef That's As Pure Now As It Was Back Then
by Randy Lankford
Ask Debbie Davis why she and her husband Don started raising longhorns, and the short answer is because they both graduated from the University of Texas. "It started out as just kind of a hobby, a weekend thing," she explains. "We bought our first cattle just for fun, a few longhorns (the UT mascot) to have for laughs and it just grew from there."
