Being from South Texas, we ask for chili con queso with our chips, and they looked at us like we were crazy. They did not know what we meant. Finally after describing what we wanted, they said, "Oh, cheese dip".

CHEESE DIP???????? Chili con queso is not CHEESE DIP!! Just a warning, if you are in Texas, ask for chili con queso or they will probably laugh you out of the restaurant.

Although with so many northerners migrating down, they are now asking if you want sweet or unsweet tea. This was also unheard of down here. If you wanted tea, it was never supplied with sugar. The sugar and sweetener were and still are on the table. If you ask for sweet tea 5 years ago, the server would probably have ask you what was wrong? Your arm broke???

This began happening around the time that Texas Roadhouse came to town. You know, that fine INDIANA based restaurant chain!!?? Sorry, Janet, but there ain't nuthin' Texas about the way they serve their food. I knew something was wrong when they asked if I wanted sweet or unsweet tea!!!

Times they are a changing!!!
