I'm sure that's the case with a lot of towns. If someone asks me about restaurants in Austin it's going to be all taco trucks, southern food, and late night stuff, but that's what I like to eat as a local.

In chud's defense, all of those places that trag listed have annoying, borderline pretentious names except for one. So I probably wouldn't eat there either. Man I love food but I really hate the foodie culture.

Yes.

I was joking to make my point about foodie culture. I'm sure all of those places are very good.

Shaw's Crab House is the best oyster bar I've ever been to. The best variety and freshest oysters I've ever had.

I am not a fan of places where people are photographing their food.

I really just want good local beers and burgers. I don't need glazed truffle reduction on everything.

Tried an item from Man v Food today. 2 fried chicken breasts, bacon, eggs on 2 biscuits served over mashed potatoes. I ate almost all of the chicken, bacon and egg. But only 1 biscuit. About 75% of the mashed potatoes.
