To a Texan, state pride is way of life. If you've ever met one, you know what I'm talking about. If you studied one closely, they probably have some sort of Texan symbol attached to them-whether it be on their keys, a laptop sticker, a ring or even a tattoo. If you think I'm kidding, well, you've never met a Texan.
So what makes Texan pride so much stronger than that of literally any other state?
Lucky for you, I went to Texas this week and found a few things that may shed some light on why Texans love Texas.

Breakfast Tacos
If you're like past me (as in like 5-days-ago, me) a taco for breakfast might be the most unsettling thing you've heard all day. Especially when it's served with guacamole and salsa. At 9 am. Strangely enough, eggs, bacon and hash browns in a tortilla is shockingly... yum.

Texas-Sized Donuts
Who need's to buy a dozen donuts, when you could buy one and share it with 12 people? As the saying goes, everything's bigger in Texas.

Kerbey Lane

Hopdoddy's
I think this photo can speak for itself, but you know me, I can't keep my mouth shut. Hopdoddy's is one of those iconic Texan restaurants that definitely lives up to the hype.

Truffle Fries
Ok, so we're still at Hopdoddy's... but I would just like it on the record that I want these fries served at my wedding someday.

Dallas Truck Yard
Loved this place more for the atmosphere than the food, but not much can be done when you wander into a food truck yard that doubles as a bar and you're under 21.
I could go on and on about all of the cool things I saw on my short stay in Texas, but I'll just leave you with a few more photo's to flip through. I'd also like to let Texans know that after finally catching a glimpse of your state, I get why you love it so much.
