Not trying to be a jerk, but how do you know that? I've never been either, but I'm curious what places you would recommend over it?

If he is from Louisiana, i'd say go get some good mexican food.

I've already exhausted the Mexican food here.

I would go to rainbow lodge Klump.

I've been wanting to go there everytime we go to Houston.
