Last night, I celebrated my birthday at hibachi for the first time since I was a kid. We sat with Mo, his wife Miesha (who was also celebrating her birthday!), and their son Treyvon. They’re from Lancaster, Texas, and over a couple of hours, we had the best time talking, laughing, and getting to know them.

As dinner wrapped up, the waitress dropped off our check. We looked at it, and something was clearly off—it said we owed $0. Turns out, our newfound friends, Mo and Miesha, had secretly picked up the tab to celebrate our birthdays together.

I want to say I couldn’t believe it, but honestly, I could—because we’re in Texas. This is just how people in the Lone Star State: friendly, kind, and always going above and beyond. It’s the Texas way, and it’s why I’m proud to call this place home. Thank you, Mo and Miesha, for a blessed
birthday memory I’ll never forget.
