2. When Someone Says Barbecue, You Think Brisket

Anywhere there's barbecue in Southeast Texas (especially in Houston), you'll find a large amount of brisket. You'll take it smoked or grilled (but you prefer smoked), and it has to have a spicy dry rub that leaves your taste buds tingling. Whether it's on a sandwich or with a side of potato salad, you'll eat it any day of the week.

1. Whataburger > In n' Out

While some Americans go bonkers over In n' Out and claim it is the best, you know full well that Whataburger is the best thing to happen to the fast food industry. Juicy burgers, honey-butter chicken biscuits, crispy chicken tenders and fries just make you oh so happy. Who cares what Californians (and now Dallasites) say? In 'n Out ain't got nothin' on Whataburger.
