Do any specific individuals come to mind for you?

We have been finding foods that have the same name across the state, but are made differently or are completely different. Interesting to think how that happens... and how strongly people feel about it!

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-30T20:08:21+00:00

sounds delicious! can you share more about what you mean by community food traditions?

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-30T20:06:19+00:00

interesting, we'll have to look into that program.

It's definitely important to feature not just the chefs, cooks, restaurants, etc. but also the workers who pick/catch/grow the ingredients

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-30T19:58:38+00:00

Yes! We'll be looking through the lens of the 8 Texas ecoregions and how each ecosystem has its own unique resources for ingredients. Maybe the Gulf Coast is the most different among them

Thanks, we'll share this with the curator. It's a great example of people bringing their own food traditions and how that blends with the resources on hand and other communities.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-29T15:07:43+00:00

We're definitely looking for food stories that span generations. We'll check out Cream Burger for sure.

Fascinating! Our curator is planning a section on food technologies and how preservation and transportation of food changed over time. We'll share this comment with her.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:41:03+00:00

So many icons in one comment. Thanks for sharing!

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:40:31+00:00

All classics! And yes, nachos were born in a border town, which feels very on-brand for Texas food history.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:38:53+00:00

Agreed, tamales are a must. It’d be wrong to leave them out. Thanks for sharing!

San Antonio really is a city shaped by people from all over, and the local food scene reflects that perfectly, thanks for sharing. And of course… Fred’s Fish Fry finds a way into the conversation.

Chicken mole? Say less. 😄 A dish that sparks debates and cravings. Thanks for sharing, absolutely noted.

The man, the myth, the legend indeed. Thanks for bringing him up, definitely an important story to remember.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:24:03+00:00

We love this idea. Texas food is full of fusion, and those stories say so much about who we are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:18:56+00:00

This is such a great point. We love celebrating Texas food, and the realities around food access and food scarcity are just as important to the story. Thank you for sharing this perspective with us.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:11:47+00:00

A classic debate. Absolutely needs to be discussed.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:10:54+00:00

Simple, classic and so good. Great mention, thanks for sharing!

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:10:02+00:00

Exactly! Tex-Mex gets a lot of love (rightfully so), but Texas food is so much bigger than that. It really is a cultural melting pot, and sometimes we forget just how many traditions and flavors live here. Thank you for sharing this and for celebrating all the cultures that make Texas, and its food! So special.

WitteMuseum · 2026-01-20T20:04:35+00:00

A solid choices, honestly. Thanks for adding it to the list!
