One of the greatest aspects of living in Texas is surely the excellent food scene. These days, however, we are finding more and more big chains taking over small, local joints, and this is having a massive effect on our culture. Luckily, in many towns such as Odessa, TX, there are still a huge number of great local restaurants that serve incredible home-style food. So, stay away from big chains and try these incredible local heroes.
