Places You Must Eat In Texas

Nov 29, 2016

Dear Athena,
If I'm from wayyyy out of state and am looking for some good, stereotypical "Texas" food that isn't too expensive for my college budget, where do you recommend?
Thanks,
Lauren M.

Dear Lauren,
Everyone will always have a different opinion as to which places are the best. But when I first arrived to school, these were some of the places the locals told me to visit.

1) Fred's

A local favorite located at 915 W Currie St. Stop by for a classic, delicious burger and a laid back atmosphere. If you go, you must try their famous Diablo burger--and fries, of course!

2) Cooper's

for Texas barbecue

3) Rodeo Goat

Located at 2836 Bledsoe St, Rodeo Goat is a semi-new addition to Fort Worth that has acquired many fans. It is a great place to go with friends and experience a unique and delicious burger!

4) Railhead

Railhead Smokehouse is at 2900 Montgomery St. It is said to be good for a casual feel and barbecue, with legendary fries and a sweet and tangy signature sauce.

5) Hard-Eight BBQ

This is a BBQ trip that requires a a long drive out to Stevensville, Texas, but they have a free beer tap and great barbecue.

These are just some of the many great places to eat around the Fort Worth area, and I'm sure many people will agree or disagree with my selections, but I definitely recommend giving these places a shot as well as branching out all over Texas to get the full experience!
Enjoy!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
