As new steakhouses and restaurant concepts continue to open across Midtown, what sets Delmonico's apart is something few competitors can claim - nearly two centuries of New York culinary history and a deep understanding of the city's dining culture.

Mia Johnson, who has participated in the Prairie View trail ride for over fifty years, describes it as 'almost spiritual,' emphasizing the importance of working toward this goal throughout the year.

Located just 24 miles southwest of Austin, Driftwood is a road trip-worthy spot beyond the barbecue. Here, you can sip award-winning wines in the heart of the Texas Hill Country AVA, tour a sotol distillery, and rest up in some of the cutest accommodations around.

I think everyone embraced this storytelling concept because we have to talk about the materials, the product, but doing it in a way that drives an emotional connection with the consumer.

In San Antonio, home of the Alamo and Tex-Mex, the famous burger name was already taken, according to MySA. It all goes back to a local fast-food competitor called Whopper Burger.

With the increased beef prices the last couple years, it's a pretty slim profit margin even at 12.99. Please find me any other restaurant where you can get a legit good steak dinner with salad & potato for $13.

The state park is more remote and rugged. We offer a more dispersed and self-guided experience. It's also a more relaxed choice for paddling trips, it's popular among birdwatchers, and it's also one of the best places in Texas to stargaze-after all, West Texas has the darkest skies in the state.

There's an inherent kind of self-denial, the subject of The Handyman of West Texas, identified only as Mickey, said in a recent interview. We all have these thoughts. But we lie to ourselves and try to conform to how you're supposed to be repressing your own pleasure.

The 73-year-old Grammy winner prefers to keep his personal life extra private, so there is little publicly known information about the real estate that Strait has owned since he landed in the spotlight with his first major label single, "Unwound," in 1981. ("I've never been one to like to talk about myself a lot," Strait said in 2017.)

When a business succeeds, it isn't necessarily because of some intricate business plan or elaborately devised model. Such is the case with Texas Roadhouse, a concept that was initially written down on a cocktail napkin before it blossomed into the enterprise we know today. As soon as founder Kent Taylor found investors for his dream, he quickly sketched out his vision using the resources available to him.

In reality, the Lone Star State is vast-and incredibly diverse-spanning more than 250,000 square miles of major cities, small towns, beach getaways, country roads, and border communities. For travelers arriving in Texas, one thing quickly becomes clear: the Lone Star State isn't just one destination-it's many.

Located on Mustang Island, about 40 miles north of Corpus Christi, Texas, is the small beach town of Port Aransas. Recently designated the "Fishing Capital of Texas" in 2025, Port Aransas is known for its sugary white sand beaches (there are 18 miles of them) and its bay waters, which are packed with redfish, black drum, flounder, and mahi-mahi.

If you're a homeowner in the state of Texas, you have the joy of living without any state income tax, and this has become one of the most powerful selling points of the state. Whether you are a retiree, a remote worker, or anyone looking to keep more of what they earn, the Lone Star State has plenty of appeal.

The world has been racing toward a more digital-first existence for some time now, and many believe we're actually most of the way there already. One of the key components of that existence is a digital financial system, but Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have already shown us that the concept is certainly viable. Like it or not, the world is shifting in a more digitized direction, whether we like it or not.

The game without the puck and not going away from our game,

Speaking to a crowd of 400 higher ed leaders at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's leadership conference in 2023, Abbott praised attendees for putting the state "on a trajectory of excellence in higher education." A high-quality higher education has many components, he said, but one of the most important elements "is having top-notch research universities to educate the next generation of innovative leaders needed by employers in the state."

Loving County, in northwest Texas, may have the highest trouble-to-resident ratio in the United States. With sixty-four inhabitants, as of the 2020 census, the county is the least populated in the country. Control of its top elected positions-sheriff, judge, constable, county clerk-can be swung by a handful of votes. Many of those vying for power are related to, and estranged from, their opponents. Election results are regularly challenged by the losing candidate, sometimes repeatedly;

If you are inside the Texas Triangle and complaining about the state of single-family homebuilding, you are not seeing the opportunity correctly. The Texas Triangle today looks a lot like Southern California in scale and Hg weight. But Texas is growing faster, is less constrained by land and regulation, and is more affordable for firms and households. In 2004, the Texas Triangle encompassed five of the 20 largest U.S. cities and accounted for more than 70% of Texans, with a population of 13.8 million.

Stretching roughly 23 miles, Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake fed by the Colorado River, offering a markedly different experience from its flashier neighbor to the east. While Austin's Lake Travis has earned a reputation as a party hub, Lake LBJ feels like its calmer, more refined counterpart-unhurried, scenic, and refreshingly serene. From the water, the views unfold effortlessly: sunlight glinting off the water's surface, shoreline homes tucked among the hills, and quiet coves that invite you to slow down. A boat tour makes it easy to take it all in-no effort required beyond sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the view.

When surveying the best pizza places in every state, one Dallas-based operation stands out in the Lone Star State. Cane Rosso delivers on its claim of serving up the most authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in Texas. Restaurant owner Jay Jerrier first tasted true Neapolitan pizza during his honeymoon in Italy, and the experience changed his life. The fresh flavors and creamy cheese had a lasting impact on the entrepreneur and inspired him to learn how to make fresh mozzarella and use a wood-burning oven.

Luckily, the answer is simple. Chicken fried steak is simply a thin, pounded-out cut of beef, breaded and fried like chicken. It's then topped with creamy country gravy - another Southern staple that can be confusing for those unacquainted - and often served alongside mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted vegetables, or even breakfast items to create a complete, hearty meal.
