    I hate going to Houston (I know alot of cities have them but they seem highest there) because of those.

    Also, just found out one of my new job territories is DFW so I’m going to be there at least once a month going forward.

    The fucking flyovers in Austin are bigger than almost all the major interchanges in the Atlanta area outside of Spaghetti Junction. It's sad and impressive how many there are.

    Texans love highway interchanges that are 500 feet tall. It’s their second favorite thing behind chain steakhouses

    I always assumed chain Tex mex was the first love. I’m pretty sure they don’t have a Chuy’s that isn’t next to a Pappasitos or Lupe Tortilla

    Not to go all hipster here but regardless of city there are usually better mom and pop options than chains anyway. There’s a Chuys a few hundred yards from my house (but not Pappasitos or Lupe Gaknight ) but there are also several small places within 2-3 miles that serve better food

    wife worked at the one on 183 for a long time. they got bought a few years back and have slowly scaled back menu and kind of turned it into a tex mex version of chilis.

    Okay I can't speak to Chuy's quality recently and yes you could go to any random Tex-Mex place in Austin and get as good quality. There's good places in Atlanta but you have to search more, and no breakfast tacos sadly.

    who gives a fuck how many people I know? I make it a point to ask every person I end up a conversation with whether it’s people at the gym, people I drink with or even an Uber driver

    not my fault there’s a lot of Texans who love mid food

    edit: just tired of people telling me to go to Torchy’s when it’s not very good and it’s always suggested to me
