Austinites, get over it, our fair town does not even begin to rank with
either the large american cities nor those few smaller cities known for
exceptional restaurants.

Lots of yummy tex-mex and bbq, but hardly fine dining.

The chains hit austin big time -- and austin is easy game -- just look at
how Sullivan's took the austin middle market by storm, yes folks, Sullivans
is a chain concept from a bigger chain restaurant group (they put their
first 2 Sullivans in Austin and Indianapolis -- maybe that tells you
something)

Houston is the number 4 or 6 market in the US, austin maybe or maybe not
even in the top 50, so it should come as no suprise that austin lags and
lacks behind other cities -- Houston most definitely included.

Enjoy the many many good attributes of Austin, including some of our fun
restaurants, but don't let pride delude you into thinking that Austin
restaurants compare with the big markets.
