Funny as many of the same people would probably describe New Yorkers as snobs who wouldn't know good (insert bbq, mexican, other cuisine here) if it fell in their lap.<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of cities in the world, and the NY Times probably shouldn't focus on Houston, though its nice to see that they will travel down here to cover well executed trend-less (at least less trendy? non molecular? Fine, nose-to-tail) cuisine.<BR/><BR/>I was more offended that in their conversation of Bahn Mi (the other front page story from the Times that day) they didn't reference Houston more.Rubiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094661174218777843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-35167225493927407392009-04-09T07:28:00.000-05:002009-04-09T07:28:00.000-05:00I wasn't as offended as you guys.

To them, Houston is foreign.<BR/><BR/>As far as "big steaks" and "bold Tex-Mex," they are distinctive parts of the Houston food scene. The amount of Tex-Mex here is staggering compared to NYC.<BR/><BR/>Now, if he had called Houstonians "rubes who don't know foie gras from soufflé," then I would have been offended.anonymouseaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983816483601480054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-88355035634365400002009-04-09T00:08:00.000-05:002009-04-09T00:08:00.000-05:00Those New Yorkers think everything was invented th...Those New Yorkers think everything was invented there and if we show any signs of culture, it is purely accidental.
