But I don't drink. Also I am an extremely fussy eater and don't do ethnic foods.

Okay, when anyone except Quis comes to visit, we'll go to Pico's.
Quis, I think the Texas institution known as Luby's might be more to your liking.
Luby's, appeared on King of the Hill as "Luly's", where the Hills sometimes ate. The blue-plate-special-type meal at Luby's is known as the LuAnn Platter, which is the origin of Peggy Hill's niece's name.

I think Quis should stop being such a stick in the mud. We'll just bring him along and then send out for a hamburger.
I see a few Tex Mex places around here that are inexplicably popular and long-lived. They're okay, but they don't send me like my favorite hole-in-the-wall taco joints do.

There used to be a Luby's in the Kansas City area, but it went out of business some years ago.

My major problem with Luby's is that a lot of their vegetables are prepared with bacon and ham. I don't eat pork (or beef), so it's difficult to get a vegetarian meal there.

Apart from Austin, I'm always surprised to hear that they allow vegetarians in Texas at all.
Also, I'm reminded of the late Molly Ivins' quip: "Folks around here who eat soul food eat it because they can't afford hamburger."

I'd love a hamburger with french fries right now.
And to complete the fantasy, a thick chocolate frappe.

To translate for the Boston-challenged, a frappe (rhymes with wrap) is what is generally called a milkshake elsewhere.

They're called "frappes" in parts of New Jersey, as well. I should totally open a "Jersey" Cafe food cart and pitch it with the slogan, "The only thing thicker than our accents are our frappes! Yo!"

When I went to Boston in July, I went out for ice cream a couple times. The first time I was very glad to be able to order jimmies on my ice cream without getting a peculiar look. The other time I had Marshmallow Fluff on my hot fudge sundae, instead of whipped cream. That one really gets some peculiar looks elsewhere.
