BBQ Myths: Debunked!
If there's one thing that Texans love almost as much as eating BBQ, it's talking about BBQ. And over the years, this beloved cuisine has developed quite a reputation. But unfortunately, not everything appears to be true. Some say that authentic BBQ can only be made in certain states, while others claim that the best BBQ is cooked over an open flame. So what's the truth? Let's take a closer look at some of the most common myths about BBQ and see if we can separate the facts from the fiction.
Tips For a Fun Visit to the Texas State Fair
The Texas State Fair which started in 1886 is the largest state fair in the United States that attracts 2.5 million visitors annually. It is held at the Fair Park, a National Historic Landmark in Dallas. This grand state fair provides people an opportunity to learn and discover the proud history and unique culture of the lone star state.
Here you can find rides, art exhibits, agricultural showcases, science and culture museums, food vendors, football games, and automobile displays among many other attractions situated in the sprawling Fair Park.
Where to Find the Best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas
Living in Texas, I’ve grown up and have both witnessed and experienced our state’s love of Chicken Fried Steak (CFS). Drive up to any old diner and there will be a good chance that you’ll find this Texan tradition of crust to add crispiness to any of your meals. And with the sheer size of the Lone Star State, the number of establishments serving chicken fried steak is mind-boggling.
Pastured Eggs VS Conventional Eggs
Pastured eggs versus conventional eggs, is there really a difference? But before we go any further, let’s get an urban myth out of the way and that is, brown eggs aren’t necessarily pastured or free-range eggs. The color of the egg has nothing to do with an egg coming from pastured chickens or from conventionally-raised chickens but everything with the breed of the chicken laying the egg. So as they say, beauty is only skin deep! And those white eggs you see at your local Texas farmers market claiming to be pastured eggs? Well, they could very well be pastured eggs!
