    Not from Texas, but spend a great deal of time in Houston (for work).

    You'll find that beans are actually a good diet food if kept to proper portion size. Men's Fitness and 4-Hour Body (Time Ferriss) both encourage eating beans and Ferriss swears by mexican food as a staple. I have chicken fajitas at least two or three times a month.

    I am from Texas. And just this week I had to curb my enthusiasm for chips and queso, Zapp's BBQ chips, and with crawfish season at the end of the month I am going to have to never eat out again. The crawfish isn't that bad, its the beer that you have to have with it. The food is really good here, I have had friends visit from all over and they say the same. My husband wants to start his own BBQ cook off team, too. Feel free to add me.

    We moved to San Antonio 8 months ago and oh lord the first 5 months we ate a large abundance of RUDY's. My husband still eats it but I won't go near it anymore.

    Oh and we also experienced our very first shrimp boil a few months ago..

    I live in Luling....(about an hour north of San Antonio) which has one of THE best bbq places in Texas.....also being so close to all the awesome cities surrounding Luling (Austin, Houston, San Marcos, New Braunfels)...the food choices are CRAZY!!! So, needless to say, I understand the temptations of Tex-Mex and great BBQ!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like! =]

    Smokin' Joe's on Weidner and Randolph is MUCH better! Try the bbq beans!

    I just moved to Houston. I've been here before so I definitely know the types of food here. We'll see how this goes....luckily I'm trying to save $$ so the eating out won't be as much! =D
