The Texas Dining Guide, a fixture of Texas Monthly since 1973, has been rebranded as the Texas Grand: The Thousand-ish Best Restaurants in the State, featuring only restaurants fully recommended by the magazine's dining team. The updated guide, which launched after a year and a half of development, offers enhanced search functions and is continuously updated by anonymous local reviewers across Texas.
The guide includes input from full-time critics Daniel Vaughn, José R. Ralat, and Paula Forbes, and maintains editorial independence by having Texas Monthly pay all review expenses. It replaces the previous star-rating system with a curated list of around a thousand restaurants, emphasizing authenticity and community-based evaluation.
