That's a long winded put down which was set up by your question. Aren't you glad I played along?
Moved to Dallas because I didn't want to work in DC. Was unaware that DFW was the center of the universe then and remain unaware. Never lived in San Antonio as a kid, but spent plenty of TDY time there. If you want the best food there, stay off the River Walk. As far as a place to live, there's a hell of a lot more to do in Dallas, but San Antonio's cost of living is lower. Austin was a great place to visit back in 1980. Not so much now. It's harder to get around now than. They do have a really nice musical festival. Now, Dallas is a better place to live unless you're a Hipster or attending UT. Nothing wrong with the Hill Country. I never want to go to Houston again. Although the time I spent TDY in Clear Lake City was great. Dallas isn't a tourist destination. Good thing I'm not a tourist.
There are Texicans everywhere in Texas. Expecting to find a Maryland crabcake outside "America in Minature" is a sure sign of cognitive disfunction.
