    To begin with, Mexican cuisine in Texas started out with a famous dish called Tex-Mex. Moreover, in Debbie Gold’s “Women in Business” she states, “the name for Tex-Mex was originally the nickname for the Texas Mexican railway, which was located in Southern Texas” (Gold 42). In addition, Tex-Mex is the “mix of Mexican culinary traditions encountered by pioneers coming to Texas from other parts of the United States and other countries and bringing in their own flavors and cooking traditions with them” (Gold 40). Above all, Tex-Mex is not really an authentic Mexican cuisine but because Americans associate it as one Mexican cuisine restaurants embrace it.

    When driving up to the roadhouse on a Saturday night, the first thing the eye sees is a parking lot full of cars and a big, neon sign reading “Texas Roadhouse.” Neon signs can be a very powerful tactic to pulling people inside. The color and brightness suggests fun and warmth. Neon also triggers certain images and places to come to mind. It often associated with bars and alcohol. This subconscious link may attract certain people and repel others. When families with small children go out to eat, they may not want to go into a restaurant that reminds them of bars and rowdy people. The same goes for older folks who prefer a nice peaceful country dinner. They might be better off next door at the Cracker Barrel. Others love the idea of a fun, energetic place to eat with an old school jukebox and Johnny Lee blasting. Texas Roadhouse is also known for its country music that is always coming through the speakers. They play all kinds of country music- from bluegrass to the newest Taylor Swift single. By being the only genre the restaurant plays, it could potentially lose costumers due to the fact that they hate country music. Although many people love it and think it goes perfectly with the style of the roadhouse.…

    I, Commander William B. Travis, have received word from one of my scouts that Santa Anna and his army are on their way here. My first priority is the safety of the few families, women, and children who still remain in San Antonio. That is one of the reasons why we are evacuating everyone to the Alamo. Also, the large Spanish mission will provide much space and the 3 feet thick and 12 feet high walls will defend well against cannons. For now, we must prepare and hope god has blessed us.…
