That's some funny stuff.

Gotta love Texas food...not much beats Tex Mex or Texas BBQ.

Reminds me of a time I went to the "Texas BBQ" restaraunt in North Carolina. I ordered a chicken fried steak, and they brought out his little scrawny looking piece of charred meat that looked like and was the size of a patty off of a Burger King cheesburger. And it had BROWN gravy all over it. I was like...what the heck!??! I asked if they had creamy white gravy, and they didn't even carry it!!! I've talked with others from the east who think that the chicken fried steak is the most discusting thing in the world...and to those I ask...HOW CAN YOU LIVE????!!!! I don't know about you, but I like good food, and so far it's been hard to beat Texan cooking (or serving sizes ). Here in Amarillo, we've got the Big Texan steakhouse. They serve a 72 oz steak with all the sides. If you can eat it all in like two hours, you get it free. But you have to eat ALL of it....sides and everything. But they don't have the best BBQ. You gotta find the little dives for that stuff.

And another thing that I don't understand is this crap they call New Mexican food (obviously found in New Mexico). They use the green and red chillis much more than Tex Mex, but the stuff is about the same as far a spinciness. No offense to you guys in NM, but that stuff aint real food. You've gotta have some meat in there...food has to have some substance...you know, put hair on your chest, meat on your bones. You go to a New Mexican food restauraunt, and they don't even bring you out chips and salsa. You've gotta pay extra for that. And they serve your coke in a little 8 oz glass which wouldn't put out a match, and heaven forbid if you're thirsty...gotta pay for refills as well. And if you want extra tortillas...better get out the wallet. What's up with that. Maybe it's just the places I've been to, but I'll stick to good ol' Tex Mex where the serving sizes are big, and the refills are free.
