Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
If the Lone Star State had one defining meal, it would be, in our humble opinion, chicken-fried steak and pie. One of the best homestyle restaurants in Texas to chow down on this iconic duo is New York Hill, a charming, family-owned eatery in Mingus. Quaint and unassuming, this rustic hideaway has been a local favorite for decades – and when you taste the food, you’ll understand why.
People drive from all over Texas just to eat at New York Hill - and once you try the mouthwatering Southern comfort food that comes out of their kitchen, you'll understand why.
Owned and operated by the same family since 1989, this long-running eatery is nothing short of a local icon. Though unassuming, the restaurant has a rustic charm imparted by vintage memorabilia and old photographs on the walls and country-chic décor.
Folks, this is hearty, homestyle fare at its very finest. The lunch and dinner menu features such Texas classics as chicken-fried steak and catfish, while breakfast offerings range from pork chops and eggs to warm, gooey cinnamon rolls.
Let's circle back to that chicken-fried steak. It's absolute perfection: crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and smothered in the most luscious cream gravy you've ever had.
Lunch specials often come with dessert, but even if you're stopping by for dinner, don't even think about leaving until you've had a slice of their homemade pie.
