Joe I take a point of pride rather than offense at the notion of “Helt Texas” as I have a gut suspicion it may have arisen as a result of that little revolution and Independence Party we threw back in 1836…. Crazy as in “Crazy” good! When word of it traveled across the oceans, I can only imagine certain Viking ancestors must have been of the opinion, “Man, what a party! We shoulda been there! Now, what’s this Texas place, you say they cook cows for hours and hours with hardwoods? Hmmmmmm.”

I googled a little and found this article from "Texas monthly". They wrote about in 2015:
