This week on Texas Country Reporter, we travel across the Lone Star State to uncover three unforgettable stories of art, food, and tradition.
In Brownsville, we meet funeral director and artist Oscar Alvarez, who has found a way to turn grief into creativity. By blending his work in funeral services with his passion for art, Oscar shows how healing and expression can come from the most unexpected places.
Next, we head to Schulenburg to visit the legendary Moravia Store, a family-owned Texas restaurant that has been serving generations with home-style cooking, live music, and family recipes that bring people together. More than just a place to eat, Moravia Store is a symbol of small-town Texas tradition, community, and hospitality that continues to thrive.
Finally, in Austin, we meet Nam Joti Kaur Khalsa, a dedicated broom maker who keeps the timeless art of handmade brooms alive in today’s world of mass production. Each handcrafted broom reflects her commitment to preserving Texas craftsmanship and carrying forward traditions that are both beautiful and functional.
From small-town restaurants to traditional Texas crafts and unexpected artists, this episode celebrates the people and places that make our state one of a kind. Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share to see more inspiring stories every week on Texas Country Reporter.
