PCSing to San Antonio? Cutting board? Pecan cake? You can find them all in the aisles of H-E-B. There are hundreds — literally hundreds — of Texas-shaped items at H-E-B. An employee at a San Antonio location tried to convince me that the Texas-shaped tortilla chips are superior because the unique silhouette, with its handle and curved ridges, was practically made for scooping up salsa.
Four years ago, H-E-B ventured into the barbecue business — the category of food that Texans are the most particular about even if Tex-Mex is what more Texans actually eat. There are now 10 True Texas Barbecue locations spread across the state. The restaurant, which focuses on breakfast tacos, is housed in another spin-off concept, the H-E-B Convenience Store, because eating gas station breakfast tacos is, to some, a Texas rite of passage.
At True Texas Tacos, the tortillas are flour anything else would be blasphemous and freshly made on site. You can also grab a Big Red, the bubble gum-flavored soda that was invented in Waco and is taken as a matter of fact to be the ideal counterpart to a smoky barbacoa taco. When an H-E-B employee found out that I had never even heard of Big Red, despite growing up less than miles away from its birthplace, they immediately filled a large cup with the frighteningly red soda, and made me try it with the barbacoa taco — the combo was at first cloying, then pleasantly salty.
I probably could have done without the Big Red. But my family has long been devoted to Central Market, where we could buy whole spices, ghee, masoor dal red lentils , and whole-wheat tortillas, which are still the closest approximation my mom has found to roti in any mainstream grocery store.
Central Market also introduced my family to English double cream, arborio rice, and miso, broadening our palates with tastes from other cuisines.
But H-E-B just wants to dig into its native soil even harder: Shortly after Amazon acquired Austin-based Whole Foods, H-E-B announced the creation of a tech and innovation lab in Austin, which will house its latest acquisition, a Texas-based delivery app called Favor. The strategy seems to be working. I think H-E-B has earned the monopoly. You love Texas, and so do we. The stores represent Texans as they see themselves.
There is no attempt to construct a monolithic image of Texas — or even to help people outside of Texas understand Texas. H-E-B is the secret that only Texans are in on. Her cookbook, Indian-ish , is out April Laura Kraay is a freelance illustrator living in Austin, Texas.
