If we’re talking eating out, Texas wins by a landslide. Tx mex and BBQ in Texas is hands down the best. I can make a gumbo and Jambalaya at home. I don’t even eat Cajun food when we go out to eat. Texas has way more variety when eating out.

Well, when you pay one group to reproduce and jack up the costs on the other group to pay for that first group to reproduce, it’s not difficult to see why one might outbreed the other over time. We need to end the welfare state to stop this madness.

NEVER happening. It’s only getting worse. They get more and more. Putting La into more and more debt. The hole is too big now. There’s no fixing it

Mexican food I give a slight edge to Texas as I think Louisiana is improving there
I also love the notion that the average household in Louisiana contains fantastic chefs.

You can BBQ and make Tex Mex at home like you can get it at places in Tx? Hahaha please. Also, people in LA always say that they hate tex mex and prefer “authentic” Mexican. Please tell me the difference..

I'm only arguing with you about the food, that's just gonna be our opinion obviously. I love Louisiana and wish it was better, there are obviously many problems here. I'm just glad I'm not one of those people that mooch off the gov't and commit crimes. As many big problems here with debt, education, etc, although not as important as those, the trash and litter here is downright embarrassing. Actually I'd rather have a clean state and some debt, than a state with a surplus and trash everywhere, we get to have both trash and debt, it's awful.

B/c we do, trust me, I've had people from out of state including Texas try to cook for me before, it's awkward and I feel bad for them. Most of my buddies, or their wives, know how to cook pretty well. People from out of state try to act like they are on some kind of cooking show, the folks here, the one's I know at least, just throw shite together and it's absolutely delicious. And we don't use words like sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper while cooking.

We’re on the same page about loving LA but you are delusional if you believe there’s anything La has that Texas doesn’t. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. It will never change or get better. That’s fact. Two options are 1. Tolerate the ghetto, litter, corruption, crime or 2. Move to greener pastures such as Texas or Georgia.

I’d still take real smokehouse BBQ and “fake” gringo Mexican food over anything. I’ll make my own gumbo and Jambalaya at home.

Pretty sure neither of those spices will suddenly make you jam the mill inside your arse.

This is one of the dumbest pieces of anecdotal evidence I’ve read.

Education and business go hand in hand. Not only do companies want to draw from an educated pool of workers, they also want to offer their employees a great place to raise a family. Higher education institutions offer companies a source to recruit new talent, as well as a partner in research and development. We consider the number of higher education institutions in each state as well as long-term trends in state support for higher education. We look at several measures of K-12 education including test scores, class size and spending, and we look at technology infrastructure in the schools. We also look at life-long learning opportunities in each state.
this didn't really explain anything.

I guess the millions who have moved from LA to Texas are the ones who couldn’t cook.
Posted on 7/11/18 at 10:45 am to TH03
This guy just HAS to swear that LA has at least one upper hand on the lone star state.

Contrary to beliefs, some of us do travel outside of Louisiana
I've been to restaurants in Round Rock, Dallas, Austin, Tyler, Houston, and San Antonio. Was just in Round Rock a few months ago for a week. The food was good but nothing I don't do already at home. Salsa was nothing to brag about but everything else was fine. Most people think of Tex Mex with regular hard taco shells and authentic with more soft tortilla wrap. Mexicans usually use white cheese where tex mex is regular cheese. Authentic usually doesn't have side of corn and chips and salsa for you although many around here do that to appease Americans. Authentic tacos are usually smaller with cilantro, avocado, and small amount of meat.
My mother is Guatemalan and there is even a difference between food there and Mexico. Sometimes when you go in an authentic mexican place they still serve tex mex type stuff. I'm very good friends with a Mexican who owns one of those restaurants, he's the only one that speaks English. His business does good but he got so tired of people wanting chips and salsa, hard tacos, lettuce, corn etc he opened up another restaurant for more tex mex style.

Ok, I'm different on that though. Which is why I prefer Louisiana food and you prefer Texas. There is really know way to argue this, we have different taste. I've already stated I love Texas BBQ.

boy this thread took a strong turn. but let me jump in and throw out my useless opinion that i will act like is the one and only truth.
- TexMex and Authentic Mexican in Louisiana doesn't exist. It's shite, all of it.
- Cajun food in Texas doesn't exist. It's sad, franchised, watered down, and a lazy interpretation 95% of the time.
- Yes, I know people with smoke pits in Louisiana who in their backyard would blow away most Texas BBQ joints.
as you can tell by the way i am speaking (demeaning and patronizing), I was born and raised in Louisiana, but have been a Texas resident for a decade.

I use them, I just call them salt and pepper to make it easy though. Not sure why people have to string those words out into sea salt and "freshly ground cracked pepper" everytime.
