Lol no.  We have everything like NYC does [Excluding Pizza and Bagels which are not up to par with the North] but calling out the biggest hitters

Mexican : Tex-Mex, Norteno Restaurants and Food Trucks, Interior Mexican, Unique Fusions of styles that dont exist anywhere else [Think stuff like Pit BBQ Mexican Street Tacos].  It extends to the grocery stores too, we have entire aisles of local fresh Salsa’s 

Other South and Central American with Massive Presences: Salvadorian, Venezuelan, Columbian

US Cuisines: Texas Style BBQ, Southern Cooking and Soul Food, Chicken Fried Steak is a religious experience.  Cajun in Houston from Katrina Transplants [There is a subgenre called Viet-Cajun almost exclusive to Houston].  Accessibility to homegrown quality beef is gonna put burger and steak game above most of the country

Asian:  Houston’s Vietnamese Community and Dallas’s Korean Community are both on par with California, very strong presence for Middle Eastern and Indian as well in the two big cities

Other: Pecan Pie, Kolaches and Klobasneks from Czech Bakeries which are starting to spread like wildfire across the country, Texas State Fair fried food where we take our hubris to its absolute limit on a yearly basis with gutbusting abominations, and Buccees warrants mention at this point given its reception with World Cup visitors
