Foodways Texas

Founded in 2010, Foodways Texas holds an annual symposium that explores Texas food, history, and culture through presentations, films, and meals. The Austin-based nonprofit works to preserve, promote, and celebrate the state's diverse food cultures through oral history, documentary film, scholarly research, and food-related seminars. Its archive includes oral histories and films about Texas food stories and traditions, with ongoing collection of additional stories. Events throughout the year include Barbecue Camps, Camp Vino, member happy hours, and the symposium, which takes place in a different Texas city each year. Foodways Texas is member-driven, and membership supports its archival work, educational activities, and events. The organization was founded by Texans from fields including food, journalism, scholarship, agriculture, and ranching.
