Texas Bloody Mary Causing California Heart Ache

 It was not long after I was first exposed to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper that it seemed to me that something was not quite right. Weird instances of bragging about something which did not seem even remotely brag worthy. 

I referred to this bragging thing as the Star-Telegram's Green with Envy Syndrome, where an article in that newspaper would suggest that some perfectly ordinary thing about Fort Worth would be making other towns, far and wide, green with envy.

Years ago I made a webpage about the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Green with Envy syndrome pathology.

It has been many years now since I have seen a Green with Envy instance in the Star-Telegram.

I have made note of another Star-Telegram oddity, as in referring to some not well-known thing in Fort Worth as being iconic. I have opined, in reaction to that, that the only thing even remotely iconic in Fort Worth, as in something someone somewhere might see in a photo, that they would recognize as being in Fort Worth, is the Fort Worth Stockyards sign, and that is because the town's name is on the sign.

So, today, in the Star-Telegram's online version, on the front page we see that which you see above.

An article headline of "This Texas bloody mary has a turkey leg, corn dog and bacon. Eat your heart out, California".

Eat your heart out California????

I Googled, asking "What does eat your heart out mean?" and read this...

Feel bitter anguish, grief, worry, jealousy, or another strong negative emotion. For example, She is still eating her heart out over being fired, or Eat your heart out—my new car is being delivered today. This hyperbolic expression alludes to strong feelings gnawing at one's heart.

So the Star-Telegram is suggesting that California will feel bitter anguish, grief, jealousy and worry because on can get oneself a Texas Bloody Mary with a turkey leg, corn dog and bacon at a Colleyville bar, inspired by the State Fair of Texas, in Dallas?

The article about the Texas Bloody Mary was short...

One North Texas bar and restaurant is serving up a State Fair of Texas-inspired cocktail far from the fairgrounds. The fair begins this Friday, and Chef Point Bar & Restaurant in Colleyville is getting in on the fun. The eatery has crafted a bloody mary full of State Fair goodies including a turkey leg, corn dog, funnel cake, grilled corn, caramel apple, bacon and celery.

Yeah, that sounds real tasty, and will cause hearts to be eaten everywhere, not just California....
