Kathryn Whitaker, Lover of BBQ & Sweet Tea

Sure. Texas is known for barbeque, cattle, land, cowboys, football, and BIG personalities! What most people don’t know is just how different each part of Texas is from each other. The cities are filled with restaurants, museums, theater, and sporting events. The rural spots are packed with hometown parades, fishing holes, mom & pop establishments, and everybody knowing everybody. Something else that is shocking is the dialect of Texan that is spoken throughout the state. A true Texan can hear an accent and tell you where someone is from in the state. East Texas does not sound like West Texas and people from the cities often have no accent at all.

This week features my favorite West Texas gal, Kathryn Whitaker. From the moment she says anything, I feel at home. Not because I’m from West Texas, but because I went to college there. We did a “freaky Friday”. I left the city and went to the panhandle and she left the panhandle and went to…well College Station. Pour a glass of sweet tea (although I love unsweet), crack open a Dr. Pepper, or just get a nice cold one out of the fridge. This conversation will lead you deeper into the charm that everyone loves about Kathryn. The best part is everyone is gonna learn something about her that they didn’t already know…I guarantee it.
