Fun fact: German Chocolate Cake is actually from Texas. Either the cocoa company or the baker (I can't remember which) was named "German" and I think the original name was "German's chocolate cake"

It's also just a super German state from an immigration perspective. At the time, the Mexicans were very upset by all of the Europeans jumping the borders and taking work they didn't particularly want anyway.

A lot of folks don't realize that. We have cities like Fredericksburg and New Braunfels and events like Wurstfest and water parks like Schlitterbahn. We have Shiner Bock and Ziegenbock beer.

There's a lot of German heritage running around here.

Pretty heavily found in parts of Michigan and Ohio, too.
