Proof That Things Are Bigger and Better in Texas

Proof That Things Are Bigger and Better in Texas

We Texans have a well-earned reputation for bragging and rightfully so! Everything is bigger and better in Texas, and we don’t just say that for the heck of it. We have plenty of proof to back it up.

From our legendary food to our larger-than-life landmarks, Texas stands head and shoulders above the rest. And let’s be real, if other states were as great as Texas, why are so many people moving here?

Texas Food: Bigger, Bolder, and Better

If you want proof that Texas does things better, just take a look at our food. We don’t do small portions; we do Texas-sized meals. Nothing beats an ice-cold Dr Pepper (born right here in Texas), paired with a plate of crispy, golden chicken-fried steak smothered in gravy. And let’s not forget our mesquite-smoked brisket, flame-grilled steaks, and Tex-Mex that’s so good, no other state can even come close.

Once you see the mouthwatering food photos in the gallery, you’ll understand why we’re so proud of our Lone Star State cuisine. Fair warning: you will get hungry!

Iconic Texas Landmarks

It’s not just our food that’s larger than life, our landmarks are, too. We have Big Tex, the world-famous, 55-foot-tall cowboy who welcomes visitors to the State Fair of Texas. Need a bigger-than-average fire hydrant? We’ve got that, too, because, you know, Texas-sized dogs need one.

We also boast the world's largest cowboy boots, an oversized college bass drum (because everything, including our love for football, is bigger in Texas), and countless other grand displays that set us apart.

The True Heart of Texas

But the biggest thing about Texas? Our hearts. Texans are some of the most generous, kind-hearted people you’ll ever meet. Whether it’s helping a neighbor in need or showing up in droves to support a cause, we do it in true Texas style, loud, proud, and with a whole lot of heart.

Scroll through the gallery and see for yourself, that Texas isn’t just bigger, it’s better.
