Well, I'm about 20 pounds overweight (185, should be 165 for my heighth), so I bucked-up and recently joined the Spectrum, bought 4 months of personal training...it's all this great Tex-Mex we have, I tell ya, it's killin' me ! My fiance is always on my butt to stay off the damned enchiladas at Panchito's (she's UNDER weight!), where I could stuff my gut every day of my life and be in HOG (pun intended) heaven. But yeah, SA is FAT CITY indeed, I can see a major difference just between us and Austin in terms of obesity.

LOL great spin there, AnthonySA!! I just find it hard to believe that 68% of San Antonio is overweight or obese.

And by the way, San Diego made the list also.

Why should we care? It's like caring about those promotional shows on the Travel Channel that list "Top Ten Party Cities" and "Top Fifteen Ice Cream Parlors" where placement is bought and paid for.

I just posted it before one of the haters did, that's all. It doesn't change my life one iota.

OMG, its all about choice! I am absolutely dizzy at the number of places to eat...some chains...some not...all that we have been to have been a decent value for the dollar...

Well, except for that burger place at the outlets that pack them in like a rocket.

Now to try a steak place.

Every time we drive by Salt Grass we roll down the windows so we can take in the wonderful aroma.

Oh, I am probably off thread again...but on a similar tangent...tangential...that is what I am!

This is so curious to me. I can't remember who it was, but we recently had a poster from Charlston talking about SA not having much to offer in the cuisine dept. or was it bars? Oh well......I'd still be overweight if I lived in Austin!

I don't know if you noticed how packed the restaurants are at lunch here. I find it hilarious to see traffic at a virtual standstill from 11am - 1pm with every restaurant (even the bad ones) filled to every parking spot with people eating their lunch.

I call it the "Lunch Rush" and can't help but laugh everytime I see it.

ha ha ha.

Well, that will probably be another list that SA will hit.

Highest number of rush hours per day with three.

Morning rush...lunch rush...evening rush...with the lunch rush tacking on an extra hour.
