I could just imagine the look on their face if you were to ask to go to chuy's.

Yeah, I'll also stick with the taquerias.

LOL - my friend and I were just saying this tonight as we ate at Red Oak Grill - a Mediterranean-influence restaurant. There's just something wrong about chicken fried steak being on a menu that features gyros and kabobs. What I ordered, btw, was actually tasty but I was hoping for more Mediterranean choices.

I only go to PF Chang's if a group is clamoring to go. I learned long ago not to think of it as going out for Chinese food. I'll stick with my favorites in Chinatown.

I'm sure Chuy's will make bank in SL.

We may think we make rational choices, but it's all emotional.

I have Mexican friends who love Gringo's. Go figure.

Chuy's stayed opened late in Austin when there was no place to go but Kirby Lane. It's just like chocolate or vanilla. Personal choice.

My family loves Chuy's back from when there was only 1. It may be a chain now, but it's our chain. Lot's of chain restaurants come from Dallas. I don't see anybody on here knocking Pappas or Gringo's. They are our chains.

I like Chuy's - its cheap and just a fun, quick meal. Love the veggie enchiladas on blue corn tortillas. I usually just eat my entree and leave the beans and rice behind - beans (even in the bean soup style - thicken up quickly because they have so much fat in them).

Sorry, that was vague. Pappas and Gringo's are from Houston. Was just speaking about Texas chains.
