Texas theme restaurants often teeter dangerously along the line that divides country from kitsch. One too many lace curtains, peanut shell covered floors and cheating hearts songs on the jukebox can send an eatery into the theme park purgatory. During a recent outing to Love & War in Texas Plano (L&W), I discovered that Texas fare includes much more than deep-fried meat covered in cream gravy. The restaurant offers a culinary tour of the Lone Star state with a traditional flair that almost alleviates the cowboy cliché.

About the author

Autumn Carpenter
While navigating the carpool lane and translating toddler conversations might not rank high on some adventure life lists, I happily include those accomplishments alongside skydiving, dodging Pamplonian bulls and surviving three-hour Vinyasa yoga classes. I look for the story in everyday situations, and convey them easily in both print and online mediums. I’m also SEO-friendly ghostblogger, web content writer and copywriter. Let’s collaborate on a project today!
