DALLAS — Texas and Alberta, Canada have a friendly wager.
On Tuesday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith challenged Gov. Greg Abbott to a bet.
“The Edmonton Oilers are facing off against the Dallas Stars soon,” Smith wrote on X. “It seems only fitting that I challenge my counterpart Governor @GregAbbott_TX to a bet. When the Oilers beat the Stars, you must eat the world’s best steak, an Alberta rib steak.”

Abbott accepted the bet, responding via X, “You’re on! I bet the world’s best ribeye – which is only found in Texas – that the Stars beat the Oilers!”
You’re on, @ABDanielleSmith.
I bet the world’s best ribeye—which is only found in Texas—that the Stars beat the Oilers.
Go get ‘em, @DallasStars!#TexasHockey https://t.co/fPzMWps978
