Mexia, Texas (halfway from College Station to Dallas) and the restaurant

Standard Texas gringo-mouth--the same that makes "Manchaca" sound like
"man-chack" and "Llano"--"yah-no"--sound like "land-o" without the "d".

Try the Southeast for fun pronunciation: all-BENNY (Albany GA) HOUSE-ton (Houston County GA) say-REE (Sayre AL) A-rab (Arab AL) are the ones which come to mind immediately. There are way more.
