I agree, it's nostalgia. When I go back to where I grew up I still insist on eating at some absolute shitholes, even though I know the food isn't as good as my mind thinks it is.

People are especially bad about this with the local dive Mexican joint thy grew up eating at.

I currently live in Austin, surrounded by Tex-Mex and tacos, yet I still can't find a place that will live up in my mind to fricking Las Palmas in BR. We used to go there so much in college that I have built it up to be much better than it is.
