I just want to say that I know Houston and Austin are two different cities. Unfortunately, I mispronounced it a few times. But I knew it was Houston! :)
It's just the Portuguese pronunciation of Houston. It's no different to when an American says the capital of France is PAH-riss, while a French person would say PAHR-ee.
Grew up in the Houston area and left in the early 2000s. Unless a lot has changed over the last 20 years I don't think I agree with that. There's definitely more food diversity than other areas in Texas, but definitely not the most in the US.
@@DehydratedHumor you didnt know Houston then. I grew up in Houston and my family explored a lot of eateries in Houston. When I left home to go to college discovered how much of a food desert other parts of Texas were. (Im looking at you, Austin).
@@gaslighthotel They wrote they grew up in Houston. LOL Having a lot of eateries doesn't mean they are good or diverse. I would say there are a lot of cuisines they try to mimic, but many of them fall flat. And I"d say the Pappas chain is one of the worst at trying to generalize cuisines - literal garbage.
These mf are so annoying oh yea please tell me about your Houston food experience in 2002. Did you go to em all? Read a list dummy it’s out there. Houston wins awards from real food people lol you smarter than them?
Technically, the Mission Control for the U.S. Space program is at the NASA facility in the City of NASSAU BAY, in far southern Harris County...Houston's centrally located in Harris County also; ~30mi North of NASA. I grew up in a neighborhood near NASA, and my family's business was inside Houston; so, I know both of them very well!
Not A Space Agency, Never A Straight Answer, & Not in Houston, Leave that fake space station down in Webster, where it belongs, and don't associate that nonsense with H-Town.
Houston is the fifth largest metropolitan area though because the DFW metroplex has roughly 550,000 more people. Dallas and Fort Worth combined only account for about 2.3 million people, but they are ringed by 23 smaller cities. The largest being Arlington (396K), Plano (286K), Irving (240K), and Garland (238K).
We could be bigger if we annexed everything like Houston does... But DFW is bigger than but Dallas or ftworth are small but no one ever stays in one city hell going to work ingo from Dallas to mesquite to Garland to Dallas on the same freeway going one way
If you want to visit Texas and experience the real Texas don't limit yourself to the major cities. Get out of the major cities and get off the interstate highways. If you want good BBQ go to a small town and find a kinda rundown looking BBQ resturant, thats where the good BBQ is.
Yeah have fun with that being from outside the US. Bro ain’t gonna get nothing but a shit time and some shit food 😂 some of the best food is in big cities for a reason… cuz that’s where all the people are big cities are definitely best for someone coming to the US from another country
Yup, to encounter "real" Texas, you've got to rent a car and drive...get lost hours off the interstates. That opens up the bigger picture of what this state is. But...gotta do that a lot bc, well, TX is huge :)
I live in the Houston area and they try very hard to cater to tourists, but that means most of the bigger restaurants come out as generic and bland versions of the cuisine they try to mimic. Even if in Houston it is best to get away from the freeway, the tourist areas, etc to find something better.
I live in the Houston area, raised in La Porte a suburb, the door way into Houston for transport ships. enjoy the show, spanish is quite common in houston, more in San Antonio
I've lived in Houston for almost 40 years. There is a ton of H-Town pride here. From our sports teams to our food and music, Houstonians take a lot of pride in representing our city. One thing people really arent prepared for is the sheer size of this city. Houston itself is huge but if you ask the surrounding "cities" where they are from the majority of them will tell you Houston. It Basically stretches from Galveston to south Dallas. This is a very diverse city, with so many different cultures represented. And as far as the bbq is concerned, you don't need to order "moist" it will just come that way if you're at the right spot. I recommend wherever you go get a variety plate, that way you get to try a bit of all that's good. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my city. I love your video's by the way.. your enthusiasm is endearing brother. Nice work.
Third generation Houstonian (eighth gen Texan, 14th gen Southerner) here. Houston is unsurpassed in many, many ways: although my former 17th-floor office overlooked the waterwall, and, while it IS a nice view, looking at it too often during a working day always just made me need to go pee every half hour... (And, yes, Andre, feel free to ask me about where to go and to eat In Houston like a native.)
When I was seeing some friends in Edinburgh I bought a whole brisket and smoked it for 16 hours. Made a BBQ sauce and toasted rolls and made Mac and cheese. They were carrying me around the city on their shoulders lol.
I live in a suburb of Houston, Katy. Fun fact, that waterfall fountain is the air conditioning cooling tower for the large skyscraper building next to it. Amazingly beautiful way to hide its practical purpose. So many go there for their photoshoots.
"The Stars at night, are big and bright,... *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* deep in the hearrrttt of Texas!!!" c'x I'm from NY but I used to sing that song.
I used to manage a hotel across from NASA, Johnson Space Center and met many Astronauts in training for the next launch! The first transmission from the moon was, "HOUSTON, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." Spoken by Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969, after the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle landed on the moon!!!
I go to Houston every year in March to attend a massive heavy metal festival. Every time the trip has been very enjoyable, and Houston is a wonderful city. EDIT: I am from Texas, on the coast near Corpus Christi.
I’m from Austin, born and raised. I joined the military after high school and after 15 years of service, I came right back to Texas. This is a very special place. Also, moist is definitely the way to go with the brisket. The Major cities are Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. In that order.
Technically, I think Houston proper is larger than Dallas alone by both population and by area BUT, The Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex is a larger area and I think very close in population? Both Dallas and Houston have DOZENS of suburbs and large adjacent cities, like Plano in Dallas or The Woodlands in Houston, that effectively multiply the size of both regions very dramatically.
I'm about 30 miles west of Houston in the town of Katy. Interstate 10 runs through Texas starting in El Paso. It is a massive highway system so be prepared for traffic. It can take an hour or more to get from Houston to Katy during rush hour. You most definitely need an automobile in Houston. The Houston area is very spread out. Lots of smaller cities surround Houston and its hard to tell when you leave one and enter another. You most definitely need to spend a few days at least in order to see everything and try the diverse selection of food. Houston is known for having so many eateries. Pick a country and you will probably find a restaurant with that cuisine. Come to Houston, spend some time, see the sights and eat your heart out.
@@chanmi1957 Houston has a lot of eateries, but most are owned by the same company (or person) and the larger chains are kind of meh (especially anything named "Pappas"). I-10 does not start in El Paso. I-10 enters TX near El Paso, but it's an interstate which means it goes through multiple states and, specifically, across the southern U.S. I lived in Katy both before and after the expansion - the time it took to get downtown increased with the extra lanes instead of decreasing. There is also an interstate that passes through DFW and follows the northern part of the state.
Yea, you could drive to Louisiana if you’re in Houston, but if you are in Dallas, you would go to Oklahoma ; if in El Paso, you’d go to New Mexico; if in San Antonio, like I am, you’d go to Laredo, Mexico…maybe.
The greater Houston area is bigger than several states. Just because something is in Houston and you are in Houston doesn't mean it won't take an hour and a half or 2 to get there in rush hour traffic. Especially in the rush hour holiday season.
Im an hour north of Austin, a town called Temple. Great area. 1 hr from Austin, 2 from DFW, 3 from Houston, 2 from San Antonio. Come on through, Andre!
Fellow Texan here, I'm from Amarillo Texas which is basically famous for 72 oz steaks, cadillacs stuck in the ground, storing nuclear bombs (Pantex) and being close to the second biggest canyon in the U.S. after the Grand Canyon. Enjoy your vids!
This is the only part of TX I have yet to spend time in. I'm a geology nerd and have spent a lot of time in west and central TX, but still need to visit Palo Duro and Caprock Canyons.
@@melissas4874 I hope you get a chance to soon. If you do a multi-day trip, I highly recommend trying to book one of the old CC cabins inside the park. It is said that at night, you can still hear the crying of Kiowa horses that Bad Hand, Col. Mackenzie, slaughtered during the battle at Palo Duro.
I work literally across the street from the San Jacinto monument, the world's tallest freestanding monument column, even taller than the Washington monument in DC. The San Jacinto battlefield is always worth a visit in the Houston suburb of Deer Park. It was where Sam Houston defeated the Mexican Army under Santa Ana in a mere 18 minutes to win Texas' independence from Mexico in 1836. They do a battle reenactment there every year in April on its anniversary.
Native Native Texan here!! I grew up just south of Houston. Traveled for years all over the globe. Lived other places , experienced other cultures. Came home to Texas 20 years ago. I miss other places periodically but not the way I missed Texas!!
I think he was pronouncing Houston the way people in NY do the street - they pronounce it "Howston". Accents exist and different cultures pronounce the "H" differently (or drop it) and this affects pronunciation (even with native english speakers). When you pronounce it this way and think for a minute you can realize that Austin and "Howstin" sound very similar.
Howdy from Houston! Austin is the capital of Texas. Houston (pronounced hewston) is my beautiful city and the home of NASA among many other things. Love your channel, come see us sometime!❤
On the video about renting a car, Houston is a good example. They have a light rail system that will take you downtown. But it won't take you out to NASA, or to the bayous to watch alligators, or to Galveston Island.
Is it easy to find baguettes, yea you can usually find them in most big grocery stores in the bakery area where they sell cakes and other things like that. But I am sure they are not as good or fresh as you are probably used to. Instead, most Americans get their bread from the 'Bread aisle' which is usually not in the bakery area of a grocery store. Having said that Bahn Mi's are amazing and I would eat one every day If I could.
A brisket is made from 2 different muscles in the cow. the moist part is from the cap, and then lean is from the flat. it depends on the place weather to order moist or lean. If a places trims a lot of fat off useally have better moist brisket than lean because the lean might be a little dry. But if a place trim very little fat or warps the brisket too early the cap could have less smoke flavor but flat will be juicey. Truely great barbecue places has the skill to make both amazing
I'm 71 and a native Houstonian. If you come here, I'd recommend you check out some of the other quirky sights. Like the Orange Show, a folk art extravaganza close to the University of Houston. The Rice University campus is worth a visit, too, especially Duncan Hall, the atrium is decorated with amazing tilework. Rice is right next to the Texas Medical Center, which is the world's largest. But be careful of the sun if you come in summer. We're about the same latitude as Cairo, so it can be very intense. Oh, and the humidity takes some getting used to.
Hugh-stun. Largest cities in Texas, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio. They’re all very different. We always called Houston the armpit of Texas, because of the shape of the gulf coast shoreline, and the humidity is unreal. South of Houston, by the coast is a town called Clute where they hold the annual Mosquito Festival. We’ve lived all over Texas in my lifetime. I never have plans of leaving this state. Currently live in MWTX, and couldn’t be happier.
Hi hun, my husband and I live in a small town called Dawson Tx, halfway between Waco and corsicana....I am a born and raised Texas woman...and wouldnt trade it for the world....love watching your videos....keep it up😊
Native Houstonian here, born and raised and I've lived all but 6 years of my 61 years of life here in the Bayou City. Houston has a lot of great historical places such as: The Astrodome (sadly left to rot away), Hermann Park Zoo, LaCarafe cafe and bar, (the oldest in the city), A wonderful Natural History Museum, Rice University, and more. The largest rodeo in the USA is held here: The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, (it used to be held in the Astrodome). Having said all that, its too big, 600+ square miles, over 7 million people, and there are several separate cities inside the city limits, such as Sharpstown, Bellaire, West University and others. I'll always be a Houstonian, but I can't wait to retire somewhere in a little town in Central Texas. lol Love your channel!!
It's been a few decades since I last lived in Houston. Born in Hermann Hospital, used to go to Hermann Park zoo as a child, even back when I was still on a stroller. Glad to know it's still there.
In Texas the largest cities are 1. Houston (Hue-stun) 2.7 million city 7.1 Million metro area 2. Dallas (Dal-lus) 1.3 million city 7.5 million metro area 3. San Antonio (San An-toe-neo) 1.6 million city 3.2 million metro area 4. Austin (Aus-ten) 0.9 million 2.8 million city metro area
Houston here. I just read that Houston in now the 40th greatest city in the world, way ahead of Austin and Dallas. Our culture (which is top notch -- symphony, ballet, opera, theater. All of them are world class.) Diversity -- we are the next most diverse city in the U.S., second only to New York. I worked for a geophysical exploration company and once I walked around my floor and counted people from 26 different countries. Even Albania and Azerbaijan! Just on MY floor.) Sports -- all good except we don't have a hockey team. (Which is a crying shame. We deserve a hockey team. The Rockets owner keeps trying to bring one here.) The inner city has the best restaurants, the burbs get the chains. But world-class chefs in abundance. And everyone knows how friendly Texans are. But Houston has kept its Southern manners even after all the inundations of people moving here. My favorite place in Houston is Rice University (top 5 college in the U.S.) It's elegant beautiful architecture. Houston has a lot of beautiful architecture. But what I really love is how each part of Houston has its own quirky personality. And the generosity of the people. This always come to the front when we have one of our periodical weather disasters. If one side of a street loses electricity and the other side didn't, entire neighborhoods will run extension cords to the other side of the street to keep essential appliances going. So there. I'm tired of hearing people dissin' Houston. It's big, it's hot, it floods. But it keeps its grace and humor.
I was born in Houston back in the '60s. Then my parents built a house out in the countryside outside of Houston. My small country town is now just another duper expensive suburb of Houston, now. I moved to rural Oklahoma about 20 years ago. Although i love it here, I really miss my home state of Texas!!! Harris County (Houston and surrounding towns/suburbs) is the largest County in Texas by population.
Hello from Amarillo. I lived in Houston a couple of years ago. Way too big and way too HUMID in the summer. Alot to do but it takes so long to get anywhere and expensive.
Bread is different from bakeries than grocery stores. US grocery stores are more oriented towards *durable* foods. People except maybe in the biggest cities don't buy small batches of groceries every day. The grocery store might be quite a distance. So a lot of people tend to go weekly or sometimes every other week. Sandwich bread is designed to last that long. Things like Baguettes go stale or get moldy way to fast. So you get those at a Bakery if you plan to eat them Same day or next.
Lived in Houston my whole life. There is always so much to do---concerts, sports, tons of parks and museums, holiday activities, trails that wind through the city, and one of the best bits is there are a lot of free parades and activities where you don't have to fork over any money. The food is just second to none. I see a lot of videos from youtubers that mention this or that dish, or some cultural food that I haven't tried before, and I can always find a restaurant or grocery store that offers it which is so nice because I don't have to wonder, what does that taste like, I can just go try it. We're also growing the food truck scene, so there is everything from high end dining to street food.
Viewer from Houston Here. You got 2 options while you are here. You can drive or you can uber everywhere. If you aren’t use to driving fast and don’t like with thousands of others and traffic don’t rent a car. It is nerve racking trust me I’ve heard it from all tourists that come here that they prefer ubering places. Now the city is huge and your uber bill will match it.
Fort Worth, Texas here! So glad you’ll get to come visit our beautiful state. Hopefully you will get to come through and experience the Dallas-Fort Worth area. By the way, yes we do have a state flag. Us Texans are very proud of our state, so you will see our flag just as much if not more than the American flag.
Hey André, Houston born and raised here. If you come to Houston next year shoot me a message. I’d love to give you an authentic Texas experience known as Dueling Pianos! It’s unlike anything anywhere else and it’s a night full of music and entertainment. Really enjoyed seeing you react to our beautiful city!
I live in Lumberton, Texas! We're about 90 miles east of Houston. I travel to Houston once a quarter for training for work. Every day, I drive through Beaumont to Nederland for work. It's about a 30 minute trip. We do have a flagpole in our front yard with an American flag and a Texas flag.
I live 30-40 minutes north of downtown Houston (hew-stun). We were part of the trailride culture and rode in the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo parade every year. We had our own trailride club but no one has really been interested since Dad passed in 2015. We don't even have horses anymore. Some of the kids do but not like before when we had anywhere from 10-20 horses at a time plus mules for the wagon. We flew a US flag on one side of the wagon and the Texas flag on the other. Houston = hew stun pronounce the H Austin = aww stin
I'm both a Chef from Houston and i also watch your videos all the time. One of the most diverse cities in the world, even more that Nee York City. Also i live right across the street from the Vietnamese Restaurant. Wish i would have seen these two
Hey Andre. I live near a lot of the spots they visited. Hit me up when you come, and I’ll take you to the places locals know. Houston is the fourth-largest city, the most diverse city (come at me), and has the most restaurants per capita, in the United States. We have food from pretty much every culture you can imagine. If you come in late February, you can go to the Rodeo!
We have Texas Barbecue in Massachusetts too! I assume other states do too. Every state has its own flag, its own Constitution, its own militia, its own identity. Each state has 2 senators and is equally represented in Congress' Senate. As a result, in the Senate, Texas is just as powerful as Rhode Island. You can Google US State Flags
Given McNuggets make you happy, Andre, you are going to be in happiness overload when you are visiting America and eating food made with love and tradition.
I used to work for the former owner of the Huston Astros. I have been to many games at the old Astrodome. Even sat in the owners box a couple over from George W Bush. That was a pretty fun time.
I'm from Houston! Love your channel and have been a subbie for a while. Love your new cooking videos also. Keep up the great work. There's so much to do here in and around the Houston area that you could stay for a while and see new things daily. God Bless from Houston.
Came across one of your other videos and thought youd have to react to a Houston video. Youd just love it. If you ever visit here you can eat something from every part of the world plus local dishes. Houston has grown a lot but its been so welcoming to people that we get to enjoy all the cuisines.
Every single place they stopped at is going on my to try list. Need to take a weekend trip down there 🤤 I love bahn mi sandwiches. My cousins do a bahn mi charcuterie style board during the holidays 🎉
Hi! I’m a 60 yr old, seventh generation Texan and Houstonian. I find your reaction vids fascinating. Bless your heart, it’s funny you keep calling us Austin
Houston is so diverse. One of my favorite brunch spots is a British cafe run by a Greek/Bulgarian couple. Their clientele is from all over judging by the mix of accents. It's a vibe. (if you come here, plan on Nov-early Mar, summer is miserable lol) Most grocery stores have a bakery to get baguettes but Asian markets have some of the best.
One of the things people immediately notice about Houston when they get here is the sheer amount of green space. Houston has more parks and trees than any of the other major cities in the United States. Houston is physically very green.
Hello from Fort Worth! 👋 Highlights of Fort Worth is Hell’s half acre in the stock yards which is basically a trip to the past. Billy Bob’s for two stepping and lots more. In downtown, water gardens in Fort Worth is pretty cool. Most pit masters know what you want but if you let them know it’s your first time in America I think probably 90% of them will make sure you get the best of the best. Also the best places are the ones that don’t belong to a chain like “Spring creek” Houston is home to NASA but it did not start there. The Johnson space center is a major facility and it is Huge!
Houston is a great city, you would love it. Westheimer Road used to have tons of restaurants - I worked at Houlahan's #2 there, but there was many, many restaurants in Houston that you'd love.
Houston here, born and bred. You could do dozens of videos of what's going on around Houston and never run out of material. Love to come and meet you the next time that you come into Houston.
Houston has an entire district dedicated to museums. The Museum District contains some of the most visited museums, zoo, and art galleries outside the Smithsonian.
I live in Florida now, but I lived in Houston for a few years. I finished school there, and my two oldest kids were born there. They are 43 and 42 now. Yes, Spanish is very prevalent there. When I lived there, there was a tiny little Mexican restaurant there that had the best, most authentic Mexican food. They didn't speak English - but there meals were numbered. Their prices were also amazing! Very inexpensive! The name of the restaurant was Mi Sombrero - and they fulfilled many of my pregnancy cravings. I just looked them up and they're still in business - and I left Houston in 1984! That should tell you that it's a good place to eat! I think you will really enjoy Houston! We love you!❤❤❤
Yes!!! This subscriber right here is from Houston!! Whoop! But seriously, more than just traditional Texan foods, we have such an eclectic range of international food choices being that we’re such sn international mix down here 💖
If you go to the water wall at night it lights up. And yes you can go up into the middle area you asked about. Though the last time I went was when I was 14 with my dad so over a decade ago 😅😅😅
Moist brisket means they leave the fat and "bark" on. The alternative is Lean, which is mostly meat without much fat. The Bark is the outside layer where the flavot is. Another way to judge the brisket is the "ring" of color near the outside of the meat.
Lol. Houston is pronounced with an "oo" sound. I saw you trying to say it like the word "house", which is incorrect. Love your channel. East Texan here from the small city if Henderson.
The Bahn Mi sandwich bread is available in every grocery store in Houston, and there are lots of places to get Vietnamese food (and any other culture's food as well).
I’m from South Louisiana so I grew up with French bread. The best place to find “French bread” in Houston is at any Vietnamese bakery. Second best is a bolillo, available at Mexican bakeries and many grocery stores.
13:57 His shirt says H-Town, the nickname of our city. Born and raised in Houston! If you get to watch a game in Minute Maid Stadium, you'll see the famous train! when someone from our hometeam, The Astros, makes a homerun, the train moves. It's inside the stadium at 90 feet high! Also, you can tour NASA! You can see the mission control room, old retired shuttles and spacecraft, where the astronauts train, there's a big museum portion; the NASA Johnson Space Center is a must see in my opinion. Also, I don't know when you'll be here, but I really hope you can come see the yearly Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo! You can spend a couple days exploring the grounds and still not see everything. It's the true Texan experience. It is the nation's largest indoor rodeo! It'll be March 4 - March 23. Do not miss it! if you miss the first time, come back! My Personal favourite spot downtown is The Houston Museum of Natural Science. I love the dinosaurs!
HTown is my city and Texas is my state. Raised there since I was 1 years old. Alot of people like to dog Houston because it's ghetto In alot of places, but there are alot of great places to visit and never ending great restaurants to eat at. Houston was voted most diverse city in the U.S several times in recent years and we great sports teams to cheer for. I have been around the world and still love to come home to Houston
You're so nice!! You husband won a new subscriber!! ❤ I'm from TX Dallas is huge, We have uptown, it's beautiful. Houston is bigger, Austin is small, but beautiful, clean, and weird!! 😂 Wimberly is awesome, Grüene, New Braunfels, There are a lot of cute small towns. Between Dallas and San Antonio.
I live in the Houston area. I live in galveston, which is an island just south of Houston, it only takes an hour to drive from the center of Houston down the Galveston Island. If you ever visit Houston, you should definitely spend a day down here on the island. It's a very nice tourist attraction. Also, if you come to Houston, you can take a tour of NASA space center. That's a big public attraction here. Also, to answer your question, yes it is VERY common to meet people who speak Spanish here. Lots of hispanic people live here
Hello👋. Saying hi from Houston Texas born and raised. Texas has the lone star state flag and I live 2 miles away from the Houston space center and 30 miles from Galveston Island where I was born.
Andre, I would love to see pictures of your city. So many of us haven’t traveled outside of our country. Please and thank you ☺️ Brisket cooked like this is always moist and soooo good. Brisket cut is a tough cut so it is cooked a long time. Other cuts of beef are more expensive but still good so good barbecued. Texas is huge cattle country. San Antonia is supposed to be beautiful and some canal running along and in the middle of the downtown.
I live near The Pit Room. They also own a TexMex place down the street too. Astros are our baseball team. We have a football team, the Texans and a soccer team, the Dynamo.
Mhm, I live in Houston! I'm not originally from here, but I've lived here for just over six years. The city is huuuuuuuge. I haven't even seen all of it yet. The cultural diversity statistic is very true; you will find people of every ethnicity, religion, skin tone, and class here. Spanish is a very commonly spoken language here; sometimes more often than English! But you'll find people who speak Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, German, Gaelic, French, Hebrew, Yiddish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, countless African languages, and so many more. You'll find little pockets of the city that have a higher population of certain ethnicities, like K-town, Chinatown, Little India, Germantown, Little Manilla, and a whole lot more. Montrose is known for its more liberally open sections, housing many LGBTQ+ clubs, and a fair amount of spiritualist/pagan shops. The city at its core is wonderful, though I'll avoid speaking on the government here lol. But the normal, every day people? On the whole, they are so friendly and welcoming, especially to people visiting. So when you come here, be prepared for people to ask where you're from, and then to ask you many a curious question about what Portugal is like and how you are liking Houston/Texas/America so far lol. And then of course, as per the usual American tradition, you WILL be recommended restaurants or foods to try lol.
Just found your channel and you will enjoy Houston especially for the food. I live right outside of Houston so give a holler when you come out this way. 😊
French, Italian, traditional Jewish and German breads (and more) are relatively easy to find here. I used to get baguette from the market everyday after they came out of the oven. So good!
I just want to say that I know Houston and Austin are two different cities. Unfortunately, I mispronounced it a few times. But I knew it was Houston! :)
I have a Jamaican friend that says it like you do. 😁
I think it's his accent, makes it sound like he's saying Austin, but he's saying Houston if you listen carefully.
We forgive you brother 🤝
Austin is also pretty cool, but it really is a different state of mind.
It's just the Portuguese pronunciation of Houston. It's no different to when an American says the capital of France is PAH-riss, while a French person would say PAHR-ee.
Houston here. This city is considered to have the most diverse food choices in the US.
Grew up in the Houston area and left in the early 2000s. Unless a lot has changed over the last 20 years I don't think I agree with that. There's definitely more food diversity than other areas in Texas, but definitely not the most in the US.
@@DehydratedHumor you didnt know Houston then. I grew up in Houston and my family explored a lot of eateries in Houston. When I left home to go to college discovered how much of a food desert other parts of Texas were. (Im looking at you, Austin).
@@gaslighthotel They wrote they grew up in Houston. LOL Having a lot of eateries doesn't mean they are good or diverse.

From Houston I live in new braunfels now. You are absolutely right I miss good Thai
These mf are so annoying oh yea please tell me about your Houston food experience in 2002. Did you go to em all? Read a list dummy it’s out there. Houston wins awards from real food people lol you smarter than them?
Texans are very proud of their state, and people from Houston are extremely proud of being from H-Town.
🤘💙
Ditto ❤ Houston proud
Mission control for NASA is in Houston. Thats why we have the iconic space mission line- "Houston, we have a problem".
Space City, USA
Technically, the Mission Control for the U.S. Space program is at the NASA facility in the City of NASSAU BAY, in far southern Harris County...Houston's centrally located in Harris County also; ~30mi North of NASA.
I grew up in a neighborhood near NASA, and my family's business was inside Houston; so, I know both of them very well!
Don't forget, "HOUSTON, TRANQUILITY BASE, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!"
Not A Space Agency, Never A Straight Answer, & Not in Houston, Leave that fake space station down in Webster, where it belongs, and don't associate that nonsense with H-Town.
Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago
But dfw is the fourth largest metro
Houston is the fifth largest metropolitan area though because the DFW metroplex has roughly 550,000 more people. Dallas and Fort Worth combined only account for about 2.3 million people, but they are ringed by 23 smaller cities. The largest being Arlington (396K), Plano (286K), Irving (240K), and Garland (238K).

We could be bigger if we annexed everything like Houston does... But DFW is bigger than but Dallas or ftworth are small but no one ever stays in one city hell going to work ingo from Dallas to mesquite to Garland to Dallas on the same freeway going one way
If you want to visit Texas and experience the real Texas don't limit yourself to the major cities. Get out of the major cities and get off the interstate highways. If you want good BBQ go to a small town and find a kinda rundown looking BBQ resturant, thats where the good BBQ is.
I agree, To get the real feel of Texas, you need to travel the smaller back roads that lead to the small towns.
Yeah have fun with that being from outside the US. Bro ain’t gonna get nothing but a shit time and some shit food 😂 some of the best food is in big cities for a reason… cuz that’s where all the people are big cities are definitely best for someone coming to the US from another country
Yup, to encounter "real" Texas, you've got to rent a car and drive...get lost hours off the interstates. That opens up the bigger picture of what this state is. But...gotta do that a lot bc, well, TX is huge :)
I live in the Houston area and they try very hard to cater to tourists, but that means most of the bigger restaurants come out as generic and bland versions of the cuisine they try to mimic. Even if in Houston it is best to get away from the freeway, the tourist areas, etc to find something better.
Like Elgin or Luling 🤠
I live in the Houston area, raised in La Porte a suburb, the door way into Houston for transport ships. enjoy the show, spanish is quite common in houston, more in San Antonio
I've lived in Houston for almost 40 years. There is a ton of H-Town pride here. From our sports teams to our food and music, Houstonians take a lot of pride in representing our city. One thing people really arent prepared for is the sheer size of this city. Houston itself is huge but if you ask the surrounding "cities" where they are from the majority of them will tell you Houston. It Basically stretches from Galveston to south Dallas. This is a very diverse city, with so many different cultures represented. And as far as the bbq is concerned, you don't need to order "moist" it will just come that way if you're at the right spot. I recommend wherever you go get a variety plate, that way you get to try a bit of all that's good. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my city. I love your video's by the way.. your enthusiasm is endearing brother. Nice work.
Third generation Houstonian (eighth gen Texan, 14th gen Southerner) here. Houston is unsurpassed in many, many ways: although my former 17th-floor office overlooked the waterwall, and, while it IS a nice view, looking at it too often during a working day always just made me need to go pee every half hour... (And, yes, Andre, feel free to ask me about where to go and to eat In Houston like a native.)
When I was seeing some friends in Edinburgh I bought a whole brisket and smoked it for 16 hours. Made a BBQ sauce and toasted rolls and made Mac and cheese. They were carrying me around the city on their shoulders lol.
I live in a suburb of Houston, Katy. Fun fact, that waterfall fountain is the air conditioning cooling tower for the large skyscraper building next to it. Amazingly beautiful way to hide its practical purpose. So many go there for their photoshoots.
"The Stars at night, are big and bright,... *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* deep in the hearrrttt of Texas!!!" c'x I'm from NY but I used to sing that song.
👏 👏 👏 👏
deep in the heart of texas!! clap clap!
I was born on Long Island, moved to the Houston are in 1988 and never left.
Texans literally cannot see this written without mentally singing it, complete with claps. It drives me insane, but I love it.
I used to manage a hotel across from NASA, Johnson Space Center and met many Astronauts in training for the next launch! The first transmission from the moon was,
"HOUSTON, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed."
Spoken by Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969, after the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle landed on the moon!!!
Was it the Nassau Bay Hilton?? They used to have the most wonderful Mother's day brunch!!! Miss it.
I go to Houston every year in March to attend a massive heavy metal festival. Every time the trip has been very enjoyable, and Houston is a wonderful city. EDIT: I am from Texas, on the coast near Corpus Christi.

And so is Whataburger.
I’m from Austin, born and raised. I joined the military after high school and after 15 years of service, I came right back to Texas. This is a very special place. Also, moist is definitely the way to go with the brisket. The Major cities are Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. In that order.
Technically, I think Houston proper is larger than Dallas alone by both population and by area BUT, The Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex is a larger area and I think very close in population? Both Dallas and Houston have DOZENS of suburbs and large adjacent cities, like Plano in Dallas or The Woodlands in Houston, that effectively multiply the size of both regions very dramatically.
I'm about 30 miles west of Houston in the town of Katy. Interstate 10 runs through Texas starting in El Paso. It is a massive highway system so be prepared for traffic. It can take an hour or more to get from Houston to Katy during rush hour. You most definitely need an automobile in Houston.
The Houston area is very spread out. Lots of smaller cities surround Houston and its hard to tell when you leave one and enter another.
You most definitely need to spend a few days at least in order to see everything and try the diverse selection of food. Houston is known for having so many eateries. Pick a country and you will probably find a restaurant with that cuisine. Come to Houston, spend some time, see the sights and eat your heart out.
@@chanmi1957 Houston has a lot of eateries, but most are owned by the same company (or person) and the larger chains are kind of meh (especially anything named "Pappas"). I-10 does not start in El Paso. I-10 enters TX near El Paso, but it's an interstate which means it goes through multiple states and, specifically, across the southern U.S. I lived in Katy both before and after the expansion - the time it took to get downtown increased with the extra lanes instead of decreasing. There is also an interstate that passes through DFW and follows the northern part of the state.
@@melissas4874 He said, “Intestate 10 runs through Texas starting in El Paso”. It does IN TEXAS start in El Paso. On the west side of course.
@@chanmi1957 Forget Houston to Katy. It takes an hour ore more just to get from one side of Houston to the other, especially with traffic
@@melissas4874 I-10 actually spans across the entire US from California to Florida.
For your trip, I suggest Texas and Louisiana. They're next to each other so you could just drive. Also 2 very unique states with distinct culture.
Yea, you could drive to Louisiana if you’re in Houston, but if you are in Dallas, you would go to Oklahoma ; if in El Paso, you’d go to New Mexico; if in San Antonio, like I am, you’d go to Laredo, Mexico…maybe.
The greater Houston area is bigger than several states. Just because something is in Houston and you are in Houston doesn't mean it won't take an hour and a half or 2 to get there in rush hour traffic. Especially in the rush hour holiday season.
I live in Galveston County on Galveston Bay. We are about 30 minutes south of Houston.
You are both 30 minutes and 2 hrs and 30 minutes away from Houston. 😂 With no traffic.
Im an hour north of Austin, a town called Temple. Great area. 1 hr from Austin, 2 from DFW, 3 from Houston, 2 from San Antonio. Come on through, Andre!
Temple is a good city. I did visit there a few times when I was stationed at Fort Hood.

Palo Duro Canyon. A must see when you're in Texas.
He would love doing a Cowboy Breakfast there.
This is the only part of TX I have yet to spend time in. I'm a geology nerd and have spent a lot of time in west and central TX, but still need to visit Palo Duro and Caprock Canyons.
@@melissas4874 I hope you get a chance to soon. If you do a multi-day trip, I highly recommend trying to book one of the old CC cabins inside the park.
It is said that at night, you can still hear the crying of Kiowa horses that Bad Hand, Col. Mackenzie, slaughtered during the battle at Palo Duro.
I live in Houston. It's a beautiful place. I'm from Oklahoma but moved here in 1977.
I work literally across the street from the San Jacinto monument, the world's tallest freestanding monument column, even taller than the Washington monument in DC. The San Jacinto battlefield is always worth a visit in the Houston suburb of Deer Park. It was where Sam Houston defeated the Mexican Army under Santa Ana in a mere 18 minutes to win Texas' independence from Mexico in 1836. They do a battle reenactment there every year in April on its anniversary.
Native Native Texan here!! I grew up just south of Houston. Traveled for years all over the globe. Lived other places , experienced other cultures. Came home to Texas 20 years ago. I miss other places periodically but not the way I missed Texas!!
"Austin" and "Houston" ("Hew-ston") are two different cities! Little confusion there.
I think he was pronouncing Houston the way people in NY do the street - they pronounce it "Howston". Accents exist and different cultures pronounce the "H" differently (or drop it) and this affects pronunciation (even with native english speakers). When you pronounce it this way and think for a minute you can realize that Austin and "Howstin" sound very similar.
Howdy from Houston! Austin is the capital of Texas. Houston (pronounced hewston) is my beautiful city and the home of NASA among many other things. Love your channel, come see us sometime!❤
Howdy? Girl, you better stop.
On the video about renting a car, Houston is a good example. They have a light rail system that will take you downtown. But it won't take you out to NASA, or to the bayous to watch alligators, or to Galveston Island.
Is it easy to find baguettes, yea you can usually find them in most big grocery stores in the bakery area where they sell cakes and other things like that. But I am sure they are not as good or fresh as you are probably used to. Instead, most Americans get their bread from the 'Bread aisle' which is usually not in the bakery area of a grocery store. Having said that Bahn Mi's are amazing and I would eat one every day If I could.
I live in Austin and I love it here! I grew up in the Houston area, too and love it as well. Texas is a great place 😊
Sure it is
A brisket is made from 2 different muscles in the cow. the moist part is from the cap, and then lean is from the flat. it depends on the place weather to order moist or lean. If a places trims a lot of fat off useally have better moist brisket than lean because the lean might be a little dry. But if a place trim very little fat or warps the brisket too early the cap could have less smoke flavor but flat will be juicey. Truely great barbecue places has the skill to make both amazing
I'm 71 and a native Houstonian. If you come here, I'd recommend you check out some of the other quirky sights. Like the Orange Show, a folk art extravaganza close to the University of Houston. The Rice University campus is worth a visit, too, especially Duncan Hall, the atrium is decorated with amazing tilework. Rice is right next to the Texas Medical Center, which is the world's largest. But be careful of the sun if you come in summer. We're about the same latitude as Cairo, so it can be very intense. Oh, and the humidity takes some getting used to.
I’m from Houston and I enjoyed growing up there in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s
Hugh-stun. Largest cities in Texas, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio. They’re all very different. We always called Houston the armpit of Texas, because of the shape of the gulf coast shoreline, and the humidity is unreal. South of Houston, by the coast is a town called Clute where they hold the annual Mosquito Festival. We’ve lived all over Texas in my lifetime. I never have plans of leaving this state. Currently live in MWTX, and couldn’t be happier.
Hi hun, my husband and I live in a small town called Dawson Tx, halfway between Waco and corsicana....I am a born and raised Texas woman...and wouldnt trade it for the world....love watching your videos....keep it up😊
Native Houstonian here, born and raised and I've lived all but 6 years of my 61 years of life here in the Bayou City. Houston has a lot of great historical places such as: The Astrodome (sadly left to rot away), Hermann Park Zoo, LaCarafe cafe and bar, (the oldest in the city), A wonderful Natural History Museum, Rice University, and more. The largest rodeo in the USA is held here: The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, (it used to be held in the Astrodome). Having said all that, its too big, 600+ square miles, over 7 million people, and there are several separate cities inside the city limits, such as Sharpstown, Bellaire, West University and others. I'll always be a Houstonian, but I can't wait to retire somewhere in a little town in Central Texas. lol Love your channel!!
It's been a few decades since I last lived in Houston. Born in Hermann Hospital, used to go to Hermann Park zoo as a child, even back when I was still on a stroller. Glad to know it's still there.
In Texas the largest cities are
1. Houston (Hue-stun) 2.7 million city 7.1 Million metro area
2. Dallas (Dal-lus) 1.3 million city 7.5 million metro area
3. San Antonio (San An-toe-neo) 1.6 million city 3.2 million metro area
4. Austin (Aus-ten) 0.9 million 2.8 million city metro area

Houston here. I just read that Houston in now the 40th greatest city in the world, way ahead of Austin and Dallas. Our culture (which is top notch -- symphony, ballet, opera, theater. All of them are world class.) Diversity -- we are the next most diverse city in the U.S., second only to New York. I worked for a geophysical exploration company and once I walked around my floor and counted people from 26 different countries. Even Albania and Azerbaijan! Just on MY floor.) Sports -- all good except we don't have a hockey team. (Which is a crying shame. We deserve a hockey team. The Rockets owner keeps trying to bring one here.) The inner city has the best restaurants, the burbs get the chains. But world-class chefs in abundance. And everyone knows how friendly Texans are. But Houston has kept its Southern manners even after all the inundations of people moving here. My favorite place in Houston is Rice University (top 5 college in the U.S.) It's elegant beautiful architecture. Houston has a lot of beautiful architecture. But what I really love is how each part of Houston has its own quirky personality. And the generosity of the people. This always come to the front when we have one of our periodical weather disasters. If one side of a street loses electricity and the other side didn't, entire neighborhoods will run extension cords to the other side of the street to keep essential appliances going. So there. I'm tired of hearing people dissin' Houston. It's big, it's hot, it floods. But it keeps its grace and humor.
Find a better word than "diverse" & "diversity"........Just a thought........Times are changing.
we did had a hockey team (Houston Aeros) but they got bought or sent to Iowa??? idk the whole story but
I was born in Houston back in the '60s. Then my parents built a house out in the countryside outside of Houston. My small country town is now just another duper expensive suburb of Houston, now.
I moved to rural Oklahoma about 20 years ago. Although i love it here, I really miss my home state of Texas!!!
Harris County (Houston and surrounding towns/suburbs) is the largest County in Texas by population.
Hello from Amarillo. I lived in Houston a couple of years ago. Way too big and way too HUMID in the summer. Alot to do but it takes so long to get anywhere and expensive.
i often joke that Houston is so humid in the summer, that you can take your goldfish for a walk.
One thing about Houston. There is always work here!
Bread is different from bakeries than grocery stores.
US grocery stores are more oriented towards *durable* foods. People except maybe in the biggest cities don't buy small batches of groceries every day. The grocery store might be quite a distance. So a lot of people tend to go weekly or sometimes every other week.
Sandwich bread is designed to last that long. Things like Baguettes go stale or get moldy way to fast. So you get those at a Bakery if you plan to eat them Same day or next.
Lived in Houston my whole life. There is always so much to do---concerts, sports, tons of parks and museums, holiday activities, trails that wind through the city, and one of the best bits is there are a lot of free parades and activities where you don't have to fork over any money. The food is just second to none. I see a lot of videos from youtubers that mention this or that dish, or some cultural food that I haven't tried before, and I can always find a restaurant or grocery store that offers it which is so nice because I don't have to wonder, what does that taste like, I can just go try it. We're also growing the food truck scene, so there is everything from high end dining to street food.
Viewer from Houston Here. You got 2 options while you are here. You can drive or you can uber everywhere. If you aren’t use to driving fast and don’t like with thousands of others and traffic don’t rent a car. It is nerve racking trust me I’ve heard it from all tourists that come here that they prefer ubering places. Now the city is huge and your uber bill will match it.
the texas flag is called the lone star state because the state is represented with one star on it.
2:25 you can take photos from the middle of it. The mist is pretty cool on hot days.
Remember the Astronaut's quote, "Houston, we have a problem." Houston was the communication and training center for NASA... The Johnson Space Center.
Fort Worth, Texas here! So glad you’ll get to come visit our beautiful state. Hopefully you will get to come through and experience the Dallas-Fort Worth area. By the way, yes we do have a state flag. Us Texans are very proud of our state, so you will see our flag just as much if not more than the American flag.
Hey André, Houston born and raised here. If you come to Houston next year shoot me a message. I’d love to give you an authentic Texas experience known as Dueling Pianos! It’s unlike anything anywhere else and it’s a night full of music and entertainment. Really enjoyed seeing you react to our beautiful city!
I live in Lumberton, Texas! We're about 90 miles east of Houston. I travel to Houston once a quarter for training for work. Every day, I drive through Beaumont to Nederland for work. It's about a 30 minute trip. We do have a flagpole in our front yard with an American flag and a Texas flag.
Yes...the beef rib is better than everything else....but it does serve 2 people with sides.
I live 30-40 minutes north of downtown Houston (hew-stun). We were part of the trailride culture and rode in the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo parade every year. We had our own trailride club but no one has really been interested since Dad passed in 2015. We don't even have horses anymore. Some of the kids do but not like before when we had anywhere from 10-20 horses at a time plus mules for the wagon. We flew a US flag on one side of the wagon and the Texas flag on the other.
Houston = hew stun pronounce the H
Austin = aww stin
I lived in Houston for 10 years and loved it. The time came, and my aging parents needed me, so i transferred back to PA.
Proud Houstonian here! Been living here for the past 30 years, and yes we have incredible food here, and some wonderful museums and parks.
I'm both a Chef from Houston and i also watch your videos all the time.
One of the most diverse cities in the world, even more that Nee York City.
Also i live right across the street from the Vietnamese Restaurant.
Wish i would have seen these two
Statistically you're wrong New York is much more diverse than Houston. You just think so because you live there.
Hey Andre. I live near a lot of the spots they visited. Hit me up when you come, and I’ll take you to the places locals know. Houston is the fourth-largest city, the most diverse city (come at me), and has the most restaurants per capita, in the United States. We have food from pretty much every culture you can imagine. If you come in late February, you can go to the Rodeo!
We have Texas Barbecue in Massachusetts too! I assume other states do too.
Every state has its own flag, its own Constitution, its own militia, its own identity.
Each state has 2 senators and is equally represented in Congress' Senate. As a result, in the Senate, Texas is just as powerful as Rhode Island.
You can Google US State Flags
No offense, but I don't think I'd trust "Texas barbecue" made in Massachusetts.
Given McNuggets make you happy, Andre, you are going to be in happiness overload when you are visiting America and eating food made with love and tradition.
I used to work for the former owner of the Huston Astros. I have been to many games at the old Astrodome. Even sat in the owners box a couple over from George W Bush. That was a pretty fun time.

Came across one of your other videos and thought youd have to react to a Houston video. Youd just love it. If you ever visit here you can eat something from every part of the world plus local dishes. Houston has grown a lot but its been so welcoming to people that we get to enjoy all the cuisines.
Every single place they stopped at is going on my to try list. Need to take a weekend trip down there 🤤 I love bahn mi sandwiches. My cousins do a bahn mi charcuterie style board during the holidays 🎉
Hi! I’m a 60 yr old, seventh generation Texan and Houstonian. I find your reaction vids fascinating. Bless your heart, it’s funny you keep calling us Austin
Houston is so diverse. One of my favorite brunch spots is a British cafe run by a Greek/Bulgarian couple. Their clientele is from all over judging by the mix of accents. It's a vibe. (if you come here, plan on Nov-early Mar, summer is miserable lol) Most grocery stores have a bakery to get baguettes but Asian markets have some of the best.
I’m in Houston and I love it from good jobs everywhere to lots of fun things to do and the food is amazing.
One of the things people immediately notice about Houston when they get here is the sheer amount of green space. Houston has more parks and trees than any of the other major cities in the United States. Houston is physically very green.
That’s Houston, Texas not Austin two different places. I think you’re confused…. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.

Highlights of Fort Worth is Hell’s half acre in the stock yards which is basically a trip to the past. Billy Bob’s for two stepping and lots more. In downtown, water gardens in Fort Worth is pretty cool.
Most pit masters know what you want but if you let them know it’s your first time in America I think probably 90% of them will make sure you get the best of the best. Also the best places are the ones that don’t belong to a chain like “Spring creek”
Houston is home to NASA but it did not start there. The Johnson space center is a major facility and it is Huge!

I live in Florida now, but I lived in Houston for a few years. I finished school there, and my two oldest kids were born there. They are 43 and 42 now. Yes, Spanish is very prevalent there. When I lived there, there was a tiny little Mexican restaurant there that had the best, most authentic Mexican food. They didn't speak English - but there meals were numbered. Their prices were also amazing! Very inexpensive! The name of the restaurant was Mi Sombrero - and they fulfilled many of my pregnancy cravings. I just looked them up and they're still in business - and I left Houston in 1984! That should tell you that it's a good place to eat! I think you will really enjoy Houston!
We love you!❤❤❤
Yes!!! This subscriber right here is from Houston!! Whoop! But seriously, more than just traditional Texan foods, we have such an eclectic range of international food choices being that we’re such sn international mix down here 💖
If you go to the water wall at night it lights up. And yes you can go up into the middle area you asked about. Though the last time I went was when I was 14 with my dad so over a decade ago 😅😅😅
Moist brisket means they leave the fat and "bark" on. The alternative is Lean, which is mostly meat without much fat. The Bark is the outside layer where the flavot is. Another way to judge the brisket is the "ring" of color near the outside of the meat.
When renting a car or truck. You want to check prices ,they vary on size of vehicles.
Lol. Houston is pronounced with an "oo" sound. I saw you trying to say it like the word "house", which is incorrect. Love your channel. East Texan here from the small city if Henderson.
The Bahn Mi sandwich bread is available in every grocery store in Houston, and there are lots of places to get Vietnamese food (and any other culture's food as well).
Texan here. Born and raised in Dallas and now live further south closer to Houston.
I’m from South Louisiana so I grew up with French bread. The best place to find “French bread” in Houston is at any Vietnamese bakery. Second best is a bolillo, available at Mexican bakeries and many grocery stores.
13:57 His shirt says H-Town, the nickname of our city. Born and raised in Houston! If you get to watch a game in Minute Maid Stadium, you'll see the famous train! when someone from our hometeam, The Astros, makes a homerun, the train moves. It's inside the stadium at 90 feet high! Also, you can tour NASA! You can see the mission control room, old retired shuttles and spacecraft, where the astronauts train, there's a big museum portion; the NASA Johnson Space Center is a must see in my opinion. Also, I don't know when you'll be here, but I really hope you can come see the yearly Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo! You can spend a couple days exploring the grounds and still not see everything. It's the true Texan experience. It is the nation's largest indoor rodeo! It'll be March 4 - March 23. Do not miss it! if you miss the first time, come back! My Personal favourite spot downtown is The Houston Museum of Natural Science. I love the dinosaurs!

I live in the Houston area. I live in galveston, which is an island just south of Houston, it only takes an hour to drive from the center of Houston down the Galveston Island. If you ever visit Houston, you should definitely spend a day down here on the island. It's a very nice tourist attraction. Also, if you come to Houston, you can take a tour of NASA space center. That's a big public attraction here.
Also, to answer your question, yes it is VERY common to meet people who speak Spanish here. Lots of hispanic people live here
Spanish is spoken everywhere. At least the phone menu says:
"Press 1 for English"
"Press 2 for Spanish"
Moi no habla espanol
Hello👋. Saying hi from Houston Texas born and raised. Texas has the lone star state flag and I live 2 miles away from the Houston space center and 30 miles from Galveston Island where I was born.
Andre, I would love to see pictures of your city. So many of us haven’t traveled outside of our country. Please and thank you ☺️
Brisket cooked like this is always moist and soooo good. Brisket cut is a tough cut so it is cooked a long time. Other cuts of beef are more expensive but still good so good barbecued. Texas is huge cattle country. San Antonia is supposed to be beautiful and some canal running along and in the middle of the downtown.
I live near The Pit Room. They also own a TexMex place down the street too. Astros are our baseball team. We have a football team, the Texans and a soccer team, the Dynamo.
Don't forget we have a basketball team too - the Rockets.
What is the name of the TexMex restaurant? I live near the Pit Room.
Mhm, I live in Houston! I'm not originally from here, but I've lived here for just over six years. The city is huuuuuuuge. I haven't even seen all of it yet. The cultural diversity statistic is very true; you will find people of every ethnicity, religion, skin tone, and class here.
Spanish is a very commonly spoken language here; sometimes more often than English! But you'll find people who speak Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, German, Gaelic, French, Hebrew, Yiddish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, countless African languages, and so many more. You'll find little pockets of the city that have a higher population of certain ethnicities, like K-town, Chinatown, Little India, Germantown, Little Manilla, and a whole lot more. Montrose is known for its more liberally open sections, housing many LGBTQ+ clubs, and a fair amount of spiritualist/pagan shops.
The city at its core is wonderful, though I'll avoid speaking on the government here lol. But the normal, every day people? On the whole, they are so friendly and welcoming, especially to people visiting. So when you come here, be prepared for people to ask where you're from, and then to ask you many a curious question about what Portugal is like and how you are liking Houston/Texas/America so far lol. And then of course, as per the usual American tradition, you WILL be recommended restaurants or foods to try lol.
Just found your channel and you will enjoy Houston especially for the food. I live right outside of Houston so give a holler when you come out this way. 😊
French, Italian, traditional Jewish and German breads (and more) are relatively easy to find here. I used to get baguette from the market everyday after they came out of the oven. So good!
Love from a houston resident. Been here since i was 1 years old.
Born and raised in Houston
