It’s a tried-and-true statement that everything is bigger—and better—in Texas. This issue of Texas Highways is proof of that. From our first foldout cover to our largest cover story ever, this issue is a big deal. In “Everything Big, Bigger, and Biggest,” we examine all that's grand and bold about our great state, from landmarks and icons to foods and hairstyles. Throughout the feature, we break down the anatomy of Big Tex, sink our teeth into record-breaking pies, and look back at the history behind the largest Texas flag in the world. Along with our primer to the biggest attractions in the state, this issue is full of superlatives, including an ode to Dallas’ flagship Neiman Marcus store, a guide to the best margaritas for every mood, and a photo essay devoted to Texas’ inimitable skies.
