AUTHENTIC PERSON


Tom Perini, whose legendary Perini Ranch Steakhouse opened in 1983 in Buffalo Gap, always had a dream of cooking at the White House, chuck wagons in tow. That dream appeared to become reality in 2001 — until a national tragedy derailed his plans.


40 AUTHENTIC PLACE


In Washington-on-the-Brazos, it’s still possible to walk in the footsteps of Sam Houston and Davy Crockett, who fought the battles for Texas independence. A visitor center, museum and living history farm offer visitors an opportunity to learn about the early days of the republic.
