About this listen
We trace how Galveston became a portal for Texas foodways, where immigrant traditions met local climate, labor, and markets to create living dishes that carry memory. Brisket, kolaches, and Gulf seafood show how adaptation preserves identity rather than erasing it.
• Galveston as a primary gateway for 19th and early 20th century immigration
• Foodways defined as systems of growing, preserving, preparing, sharing, remembering
• Brisket’s path from kosher holiday dish to Texas smokehouse staple
• Czech kolache adaptation and the authenticity debate
• Greek families building Gulf-based food enterprises while Americanizing public identity
