well the argument here was about dining not how great each city is in every socioeconomic metric.

My original statement was that NO is a shitty place with shitty people and is mainly a destination for people to get drunk and party. I'm not sure it matters that I don't know what kind of spices are in New-Orleans-specific gumbo. What you have alluded to is that the city itself wants to create a perception of a year-round party to attract party-goers. Which leads back to my original point.

If you mention any city even on the same page as Nola, the site flips it's shite. Houston is a cool city and has a lot to offer.
It just still isn't southern.

Nashville is also a city vastly undergoing changes and reformation. Personally, t is the anti-Detroit. I have never seen anything quite like it (in a positive sense).
We've worked down here for about 15 years now and it is night and day difference. 15 years ago, you didn't go to Broadway. 21st Ave was "the hip place to be".The Gulch didn't exist. The Convention Center didn't exist. 12 South was a restaurant or two. East Nashville and Germantown were crime ridden hell holes. Now they are thriving and it appears to be just the start. It'll be interesting to see it another 10 or 15 years from now.
That describes many southwest cities including Houston, Dallas and Austin. Even San Francisco is changing rapidly and areas that were once no man lands are now hip hoods. Oakland especially is seeing neighborhoods gentrify because of the high cost of living in SF.

In case you missed it there are quite a few delusional Houston homers here. Like the clown who said Houston has the best restaurants in the entire country. I shouldn't even have to elaborate but NYC is unequivocally the best food city in the country.

Yeah. It's being hosted at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Also, see my original post of:

Chicago has a ton of winners. Houston...not so much.
Ironically, it's Houston that is "all hat, no cattle."

Houston has some awesome food, especially on the ethnic side, but LOL at the James Beard argument.

Just a response to the question of what houston is doing unique, who notable chefs are, etc.
I'm not one of the asshats on here trying to compare to NYC

Oh yeah Austin has grown incredibly in the past 10 years and it is not slowing down.
A lot of good tech jobs coming there and they also have benefitted greatly from the shale boom.
I'm note sure of your angle on aesthetics. Austin area is very pretty. rolling hills and lakes. Westlake for example.
Your right on the Outdoor Hub, but I think you are selling short the lakes and state parks in the area. tons to do.
