Of course it’s a driving culture. San Antonio is spread out everywhere. Most cities are spread out everywhere. I prefer spread out versus living in a rat warren of metal and glass. Anyway, lots of good food around. It’s just not all in one place. The SA food scene is improving all the time. Not up to NYC level, but SA isn’t a rat warren full of world class chefs, and it and most cities never will be. That’s not a bad thing.
I’m not talking about high end restaurants. I’m talking about standards at grocery stores, relies. Pizza parlors. Bars. Homes.
