    Deckard you're crazy and need your houston pass revoked. houston has the best restaurants and if not its not rivaled by ny. not even close.

    edit: ny may have a slightly higher variety of types of foods.

    the best thing about ny food are the stands on the different corners. you can't get that in houston

    Thank you.

    I can't believe he thinks their Asian food is so much better than Houston's. Seriously, Deck. When was the last time you ate in Houston? A lot has changed in 20 years.

    Fatty, I go to Houston several times a year. To tell the truth, my mom makes better food than I can get in any restaurant, but I'm not blind to the fact that you can get many different kinds of food elsewhere that is simply better than what you can get in Houston. (or Austin)

    I'm with you. Besides Mexican food, Houston food is pretty weak in comparison.

    I don't know if he's a racist, but Bill does like to stereotype certain ethnic groups. I think it was just a Freudian slip...

    Asian food quality has improved the last time I visited Houston, but it still can't beat California's....

    I don't even know if bill was serious or kidding and I don't care but don't defend negative stereotyping if that is what he did. even if he has a point about how black people have portrayed ourselves in the media, two wrongs don't make a right.

    its okay for someone to get their ideas of black people from a fifty cent video. goodness

    I'm always surprised when white people aren't racist.

    Houston's Chinese food is pretty bad compare to the other parts of the country. Vancouver cananda has the best chinese food in north america but Houston don't come close to SF, LA, or NY. We do not have a huge chinese population compare to those cities just because we have a big asian population. As for Japanese food, it sucks here in houston. Its like all japanese restaurants here are the same, Phily roll, dragon roll, spicy tuna roll. Give me a break. Authenic Japanese food don't have that crap. We need a real japanese restaurant in Houston.

    I'm not a conservative, so feel free.

    We're only an eighth of the population in this society. We're more largely represented in big cities, but much, much less in the suburbs or in the middle of the country. A lot of non-blacks outside of large cities just don't interact with alot of blacks on daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis; and a larger portion of their perceptions of blacks will be driven by what they see in the media and pop culture. Much of what black writers, producers and performers present in the media reinforces all the negative traits to which O'Reilly was alluding. Nothing ridicuous about any of that.

    dude this isn't 1920. people have more opportunities to learn about black people than a music video. open a book, get on the net. if someone chooses to have a negative image of black people because of Rap City its a conscious effort.

    I would like to support Deckard in his "NY is generally a better food city than Houston" stance. Although unlike him I think Houston is one of the better cities for food.

    In addition to the ethnic he mentioned (Asian (including Indian), Italian, Greek, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, pizza overall (although Dolce Vita here is as good as any "fine" Roman-style pizza in NY...which is dominated by Naples-style), they have better French, Continental, fish & chips, vegetarian, New American (or any other "new" style), etc. Mexican and Latin American are generally better here although a new place (for me) called Zocalo is really solid central Mexican and Yucatan style food. Further, NY has better "high end" restaurants across the board - the kind that set trends and can revolutionize the industry. Really no city can compete with NY in the US so it is unfair to do so with Houston. Houston probably falls in the second tier, though, after Chicago, San Fran, LA (even though I don't like the latter).
