Austin VS San Antonio

1106731-225416-jpg

Okay. Let’s objectively look at this Austin vs San Antonio debate. Last month, shit hit the fan when Eater Austin discussed how SXSW attendees ‘created’ the breakfast taco. Some crappy SA blog fired back, Austinites got all defensive, and then some restaurant issued a breakfast taco challenge that never happened (because it was in the middle of SXSW).

Anyhow, a Forbes writer blogger recently named San Antonio the Best City in Texas and Austin second. I decided to tour each place (again, objectively) and jot down my observations for this poorly written clickbait piece.
