Bearing in mind that I'm in Texas where the cuisine is heavily influenced by Southwestern and Mexican:
Prime beef steaks: "It's what's for dinner"
Smoked sausage: "Food of the gods"
BBQ brisket: "As Texan as you can get"
Texas Chili: "None of them dad-burned sissy beans"
Pepper jelly: "What real men put on their scones"
Tamales: "Love in a corn husk"
