Houston gets a bad rap for a lot of things, but this one completely baffles me. This is one bitter dude. http://www.coldbacon.com/houstonfood.html I'd post the entire article, but it is way too long. Suffice it to say, we have really bad restaurants here, also.
i think a simple reply to any food critic of houston would be: "of course we have good food, we have lots of it - look at the size of our stomachs."
