A few Texas favorites:

* Abuelos (I used to live behind the original in Lubbock TX and we would stagger home from the margaritas... the chains no longer have the 15 flavors of margaritas that the originals did and the enchilada selection has gone from 15 or 16 to 8 or 9 varieties now, but the food is still good... upscale Tex-Mex.)

* Pappadeaux (I had a seafood mixed grill at Emerils - another now "chain" - that was damn good, but I kept comparing it to Pappadeaux.)

* Bobs Steak and Chophouse (Possibly the BEST of the great steakhouses in Dallas... now two locations plus an outpost in San Fran. When I was into dating local chefs, this was their unofficial "night off" hangout... says something.)
