Mark and Cassie McKinney of Austin, Texas have criss-crossed the Lone Star State for decades tasting some of the greatest and most diverse dishes it has to offer. As a touring singersongwriter, Mark has spent many years on the road making close friends and breaking bread in every corner of the state. As life-long, dedicated foodies with a love for home cooking, the McKinneys have assembled a unique collection of many of their old faithfuls, along with some new favorite recipes. Blend those with some recipes concocted from meals they have eaten all over the world, along with great guest contributions from fellow Texas musicians, and you have a unique combination of tastes from this very diverse state and beyond in the United Plates of Texas.
