    Chuy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant started in 1982 in Austin, TX off Barton Springs Rd. It was the vision of two friends, Mike Young and John Zapp. They wanted to create a restaurant that offered quality food, diverse options, and affordable prices. The first location was in an old, abandoned BBQ shack with limited room and space, but it would certainly do. Mike and John ran low on their budget for décor and ended up with $20 to spend. John went out to find as much décor as possible. “You can’t fake cheap.” said, John. One of the items John came back with was a velvet canvas of Elvis; thus the beginning of the signature culture and environment provide by Chuy’s. John and Mark say, “If you’ve seen one Chuy’s, you’ve seen one Chuy’s.” The one common denominator found in each location is the Elvis Shrine. From the very beginning The King has played a part in this successful restaurants growth and development.

  • Characteristics Of Texas Culture

    Overall, Texans partake in similar food culture, but they also differ in small ways. Texas culture is highlighted by its traditional food groups and food style. All traditional Texas foods are cooked in Mexican inspired cooking styles. Mexican cooking styles influence traditional Texas foods, because Texas was originally apart of Mexico. Before the state of Texas was established, the original settlers technically lived in Mexico. The settlers and natives combined their knowledge of food and created a new food style. This new traditional food is call “Tex-Mex.” The ingredients of Tex-Mex change with the different landscapes. For instance, in the western region of Texas, food is composed of wild game and crop from the area. Western Texas wild life is made up of buffalo, cow, and javelina. This food group is often paired with native crops such as, corn, beans, and squash. “Traditional foods reveal the strong cultural tied between Mexican Americans and Texans” (Tex-Mex foods 2016, pg. 4). In the coastal region, foods differ greatly from the western region. On the coast, traditional foods consist of fish, birds, and variations sea organisms. It is a part of coastal culture to cook foods with these components. Though western and coastal food cultures are very different, they share the same Mexican inspired cooking styles.

    Firstly, one aspect that is both Mexican and American is the cuisine. The original food for Mexico is very spicy and most of the time very colorful as well. Mexicans use spices, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese in many of the native dishes. They use an assortment of meat: pork, beef, lamb, and chicken. When Mexican restaurants spring up in the United States the food is toned down to appeal to Americans. The Mexican Americans use less spices to make the dishes milder rather than the hot, spicy native food. The food, still Mexican, takes on the likeness of American food. This is shown in the United States by all of the Mexican American restaurants such as Taco Bell. Therefore Mexicans have Americanized their food. “For Hispanics live on this side of the border, where Kraft manufactures Mexican-style Velveeta, and where Jack in the Box serves Fajita Pita.” (Rodriguez 131). Americans complement the Mexican style and the inverse.

They were “seen as being more adaptable, self-sufficient, aggressive and intolerant of tyranny.” (Woodard, 31).

    Mexican cuisine is a mixture of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, particularly Spanish, basics added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century (Wikipedia). The fundamental elements are native foods, such as corn, beans and chili peppers. When the Europeans arrived they pioneered a large number of other foods, the most central were meats from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat, and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese), and various herbs and spices (Wikipedia). When the Spanish first arrived they made efforts to inflict their own diet in the country, this ended up failing and sooner or later the foods and cooking techniques began to be mixed (Wikipedia). Mexican food carries a status for being spicy though its seasoning can be explained as strong (Wikipedia). Many dishes also have subtle flavors (Wikipedia). “Chiles are used for their flavors and not just their heat, with Mexico using the widest variety (Wikipedia).”“If a savory dish or snack does not contain Chile pepper, hot sauce is usually added, and Chile pepper is often added to fresh fruit and sweets (Wikipedia).” Many Mexican dishes are distinct by their sauces and the Chiles. “These dishes include entomatada (in tomato sauce), adobo or adobados, pipians and moles. Tamales are differentiated by the filling which is again defined by the sauce (red or green Chile pepper strips or mole) (Wikipedia).” The essential source of starch remains corn in almost all regions of Mexico (Wikipedia). “While it is eaten fresh, most corn is dried, treated with lime and ground into dough. This dough is used both fresh and fermented to make a wide variety of dishes from drinks (atole, pozol, etc.) to tamales, sopes, and much more. However, the most common way to eat corn in Mexico is in the form of a tortilla, which accompanies almost every

  • Mexican Food Identity

    Jeffrey Pilcher declares that Mexicans are a people of corn, that “despite centuries of efforts to change them, Mexicans remain a people of corn” (Pilcher, 6). The native and indigenous people of corn formed identity as a society. They made tortillas with corn, and gradually began to add different kinds of meats, vegetables, and spices. Every society creates for themselves a unique set of cuisine to feed and please others. But people’s needs constantly change and the diet that is established for each society is divided through class. Besides this being a harsh reality, this is problematic because of the disparity between the rich and the poor. But even though this was the case, Mexico’s food culture was able to preserve and refine a lot of its cuisine despite evolution and struggles to maintain original forms. Thus, it can be said that the history of food in Mexico is one that is profoundly and intimately tied to the country’s developing national

  • Southwestern American Cuisine

    To begin, I will talk about the history of southwest style cuisine. The southwest got a lot of its influences from Spanish settlers, Native American and native Mexican tribes during the early settlement days of America. These influences spread not only throughout the southwest but spread to areas of southern Utah and Colorado as well. The settlers adopted a lot of the native’s customs, one of those tribes being Navajo. Some of the early farming was beans, chilies, avocados, corn, and tomatoes. These vegetables and legumes are now known stables in many southwestern style dishes. The Spanish settlers brought the ingredients of cheese, lard and rice, and with time, the influences of Mexico and the “cowboy” style of living further influenced a lot of the southwest. New Mexican cuisine is the most favored of southwest, followed by Sonoran style, which is popular in Arizona( “American Southwest food”.).

  • The Enchilada

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    The agricultural, regional, and cultural significance of the enchilada dates back thousands of years to the time of the Mayans. The enchilada consists of a filling of meat and cheese rolled in a corn tortilla and covered in chili sauce. The Mayans, who inhabited central Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, used what was readily available to them in order to make this unique dish that has since become a cultural phenomenon. Because wheat was not introduced to the Americas prior to European colonization, the indigenous people relied on corn, or maize, as their staple. The Mayan people utilized slash and burn techniques as a way of cultivating the land necessary to grow their crops like corn. There is also evidence to show that people in Mexico were milling corn into corn flour as far back as 9000 years ago. Since corn was so heavily ingrained in the lifestyle of those inhabiting this region, it makes sense why the corn tortilla became the cornerstone of the enchilada. In addition to corn tortillas, European conquerors documented that peppers stood out as a staple in the Mayan diet. Chili peppers which grew in the Yucatan region were incorporated into the enchilada as its flavorful sauce. The Yucatan Peninsula, bordered by The Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, influenced the contents of the enchilada as well. Because of its proximity to the ocean, fish were the first fillings of the enchilada. Later, chicken and beef were
