HerbcoFood While this may disappoint some in the community, Austin is nothing more than an disappointment to Texas. The do not represent Texas, and is a suburb of California.
Chef Amen, the truth usually does hurt!

Chef I understand that, however it still has a pretty good food scene.

HerbcoFood It does have a great food truck scene, but supporting that scene is against my believes. I only support what is within my value systems.
People must stand up for what they believe.
This is why I only support companies that represent my value system. If a company supports agendas that I do not believe in, then I don’t shop them.
Anyone that has questions about companies and their agenda are free to contact me. I will be honored to show the truth.

mrobisr Watch the Seattle terms, I live not to far from there. Washington is a melting pot of food
-
zbigjeff Houston is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. But someone who groans about getting Tex-Mex is uncalled for! Next time you’re down let me know and Ill throw some places you can try, also depending on the area of town you’re in.
HerbcoFood Will do. Usually in the Copperfield Westcreek Village area.

Chef how do you know when you are thinking about trying something new if they have the same belief system you do? Is it one of those situations until it’s fine until they tell you otherwise, or do you assume the worst until they prove themselves?

Chef I totally agree. Haven’t been to Starbucks or Target in a number of years and some other food locations that I can’t think of right now. Plus, I really don’t care what people think about me saying NO. I just don’t any attitude that “excludes”. Period.

Midwest_kc Not at all. I research companies and their policies as well as look at who they support.
I’m sure that some sill evade me, but I do the best I can. Companies like Coke, Disney, Home Depot, … and the list goes one.
I try to spend wisely with companies that share my value system and avoid companies that support an agenda that disapprove of.
I never assume the worse. I just don’t assume people are of a like value system. I just like to be informed.

Chef Fair enough. Obviously larger companies there’s lots of info out there. I was thinking more along the lines of smaller, mom and pop places that you may come across while traveling, etc. It’s something that I don’t know how to find out, and wasn’t sure your strategy for these types of places.

My concern now is will I feel safe trying to visit some of these small mom and pop places though no fault of their own. I can’t imagine the stress these small operators are experiencing in crime ridden cities. There is a lot of great cuisine available in Chicago. Would I go there to eat, hell no!

marzig20 I used to make a special trip when I was down in the Milwaukee area to hit a few mom & pop ethnic establishments in Chicago as well when I was in the MSP area. Some of these were in questionable areas, but never had an issue. I now I wouldn’t go back to those areas, great folks and memories, too bad.

Midwest_kc Not sure I have a strategy for the small business owner. I just observe and do the best I can. I strongly believe in supporting the small local business owner, and until I see indications otherwise, I support them.

YooperDog It is sad. I feel the same way about small businesses in New Orleans. While I have such fond memories, I just can’t risk safety of my wife and family. I have to be content with the memories.

Chef When we stop by “local” places and see signs like “law enforcement not welcome”, “No MAGA people may enter” and other "exclusionary statements. They are just a place I don’t want to support and have turned around many times. Like you said: I support until I see their mindset in front of my eyes. Those type of people don’t deserve my dollars. Period. There’s only been five in the last 2 years. The vast majority of small businesses are NOT sooo stupid to exclude.

zbigjeff I don’t understand why anyone would want to exclude a group of people, if I had a business I would want everyone to feel welcome.

bocephus Can’t remember the movie. But, the saying is something like this: Stupid IS, Stupid DOES. It even makes it laughable because they believe they’re correct and blame someone else for their demise.

johnsbrewhouse HerbcoFood Thanks for keeping me in the know. Ya know: not everything “changes” from the past to the current. It’s still relevant TODAY.
