Great interview with a chef/owner of one of Houston's many, many locally owned restaurants, in which the chef explains why it's so easy to open a restaurant in Houston, and why business is booming for Mom and Pop places: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/10/tr...-eat.html?_r=0
Enjoy!
^^^I am not exactly clear why you are directing this information to me. Do you think you are telling me anything new about the Houston restaurant scene? I am the one who lived there 26 years. Not only have you never lived there; you actually said you don't want to:

I (and others) have simply shared posts regarding the influence of byo's on Philly's culinary scene, and how it distinguishes it from other major cities. I'm confused if the post above is your reply to this simple point. Are you saying that somewhere in your random links, there is an element of Houston's restaurant scene that distinguishes it from other cities? If so, spell it out.

Nyah, the dots aren't hard to connect, but you might need to read the articles. I'm disinclined to spell it all out for you though. In fact, I'm pretty bored with the whole topic if you want to know the truth.
Historic, European charm goes to Philadelphia for sure. No argument from me there. Still, that's what Galveston, San Antonio and New Orleans are for. Most people don't care about that stuff for everyday living.
As far as food goes, Houston as a whole hasn't reached an innovative level just yet. The city gets it rep by having a wide variety of incredible tasting food.
Uhh.. Did I just watch a video with a bunch of doors?
Interesting perspective I guess. Congrats on being a city hundreds of years older than Houston that focuses on preservation more than progress (not necessarily a bad thing, I appreciate historical preservation).

I don't think that's a fair characterization of Philly, unless you consider razing historic buildings in order to erect new ones "progress"?
So London or Paris or Rome are not world class cities? Got it.
They are, but so is Tokyo. I think that's the point.
