500 Favorite Foods

I was going to add enchiladas to the list myself. Cheese, chicken, verde, al carbon, Tejanos, all of them are amazing. I do not think for one second I make a false claim when I say Houston is the enchilada capitol of the world. Anyone that comes to visit will get an enchilada tour.



These are pretty good, at Molina's. Sadly, Leo's is no longer with us. That was always my favorite until they closed years ago. Spanish Flowers is pretty fucking great as well, but it's a REALLY popular spot and tables take forever. If you find yourself in Austin (or Houston) avoid Chuy's. In fact, avoid Tex Mex in Austin as a whole. But Chuy's is the most overrated place and has mediocre as fuck enchiladas.

Now, if you guys want the recipe for legit fucking enchiladas, look up Rob Walsh and find his cookbooks. This guy has spent his entire career championing Tex Mex and is pretty much responsible for making the distinction between Tex Mex and Mexican food made outside of Texas. He is a god.

53. Cantaloupe. Nothing else on earth tastes quite like it. I can (& last Friday night, did) devour an entire melon myself at a sitting. Love, love LOVE this stuff. I miss the Snapple Ralph's Cantaloupe Cocktail more than words can express.

54. Barbacoa

Yea, most of ya'll are about to flip out. But some barbacoa and lengua is some of the most delicious real Mexican food you'll ever have. Long as it is the real deal, not the bullshit store bought barbacoa. If it ain't cow head, it ain't legit.

I eat "Barbocoa" but I know it's not cow head.

Yea, that's the bullshit fake stuff. Find the real deal and it will change your goddamn life. Barbacoa soup with some scrambled eggs con chorizo and a big glass of horchata. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN no better way to start your day.

I keep telling you. Escape the cold. Come to Texas. Eat like man is meant to.

Lesley and I have thought about it.

You would trade extreme cold for heat. Just pointing that out.

However, your swarthy latin charms would come rolling back.

I'll dye my pecker and Jungle Penetrate you. Also, I need a new friend here.

THE RETURN OF ROBERTO HUGHGUEZ.

Don't forget his tough as nails, man of the streets friend Jacobo Escobedo.

And his sassy scoundral associate, Eduardo Hockenes.

Billy: Do you ever hit Papasito's down there in Texas? We used to LOVE that place.

Horchata is the shit.

But sorry, Texas < Montreal. Except you have good BBQ. We don't.
