Texas toast
Thick grilled bread
Texas toast is thick-sliced white bread, typically about twice the thickness of standard sliced bread, buttered and grilled or toasted until golden.
It originated in Texas restaurants as a heartier accompaniment to steaks and barbecue.
The bread's thickness allows it to absorb butter without becoming soggy: The diner served burgers on Texas toast.
