Exploring Delivery Trends Across Texas: The Second Annual How Texas Orders In Report
The latest installment of Favor's annual 'How Texas Orders In Report' has just been unveiled, shedding light on the unique preferences and trends that have shaped food delivery experiences across the Lone Star State throughout 2024. In this comprehensive overview, we explore what Texans have been craving, the most cherished moments reflected in their delivery choices, and the creative lengths they've gone to in expressing their thoughts during the ordering process.
Top Dishes of Texas in 2024
Tacos have once again asserted their dominance, firmly holding the title of the most ordered dish among Texans. Following closely behind are juicy burgers, which have made their mark as a staple in many households. Interestingly, the beloved queso dip has dethroned salsa as the go-to accompaniment for many meals, with guacamole remaining a solid third choice on the list. The love for fries is so intense that, if placed end-to-end, they could form a pathway stretching from the Texas State Capitol to the historic Alamo and back again! This only highlights the immense enthusiasm Texans have for their favorite snacks.
Seasonal Highlights & Unique Orders
The report also illuminates a spectrum of seasonal highlights. For instance, on New Year’s Day, recovery orders ranged significantly from a location in Rio Grande Valley, where an impressive 50 breakfast biscuits were ordered, to health-conscious selections like ginger shots and hot tea in Houston. Also notable were poolside deliveries in the hot month of June, featuring refreshing rosé, essential grilling items, and favorite convenience store snacks. Even in the face of soaring temperatures, the unyielding desire for hot soup came through, proving that some cravings truly defy the weather.
Creative Delivery Notes
The charm of Texans extends beyond just their food choices; the report captures the spirit of Texan creativity in delivery instructions as well. Among the most common requests were "Don't knock" notes, which aimed to maintain peace at home. Texans showed off their imaginative flair with instructions dedicated to birthday celebrations, including serenades or dramatic pizza arrival announcements. Moreover, special occasions like engagements were marked by requests for champagne deliveries, while thoughtful orders like surprise coffees with affectionate notes truly warmed hearts across the state.
Memorable Delivery Experiences
Exceeding the ordinary, some of the standout delivery experiences included a crane operator in Dallas receiving his meal via bucket from above, and a rotisserie chicken being delivered right to a concert line in Houston. In an interesting incident in San Antonio, a bartender secured twelve emergency bags of ice to keep the wedding festivities flowing.
Chris Flores, Favor's Chief Tasting Officer, reflected positively on the year, stating, "It's been another incredible year connecting Texans with what they need, when they need it most. From comfort food cravings to celebratory surprises, every delivery tells a story. This report is our way of celebrating the memorable moments we've shared with Texans throughout 2024."
