So as some of you know, I recently (okay 11 months ago) relocated from the Chicago area to Houston, TX. And for the most part, the food down here is not all that impressive. Sorry, no offense to the locals but your food choices suck. Aside from bbq, asian, and mexican, there's not too much tasty or original food here, mostly chains.
So anyway, I'm really missing certain things.... like getting a white castle(or what's affectionately known as a slider) or a gyro in the middle of the night, real pizza, or an Italian beef sandwich. And NO, James coney island does not sell a chicago dog, no matter what they call it! My wife is craving a pizza puff (people here have never heard of it). We're not junk food addicts...we just kind of miss the mom and pop places ...
Last week I found a gyro place right around the corner, tonight we stumbled upon Krystals. It's getting easier....
So, for you transplants and travelers... what are you missing from home?
And the rest of you... What is an absolute must have have? Where do you take visitors when they come 'round?
