Denton, Texas, might conjure images of honky-tonks and barbecue, but those who venture beyond the familiar culinary landscape will discover a surprisingly robust and authentic kebab scene. The city's university population, drawn from across the globe, has fostered a demand for genuine international flavors, and kebabs, in their myriad forms, have blossomed. From the char-kissed perfection of shish to the hearty warmth of döner, these skewers and wraps offer a refreshing departure from typical Texan fare, providing a taste of the Middle East and Mediterranean that is both comforting and exhilaratingly foreign, without requiring a passport.
