I can see it now.  Which Bill Millers is best?  What's your favorite breakfast at Jim's?  Cant wait.

I was hoping for over priced taco rants but I'll take it.

God forbid you use the search feature.

Enlighten me, please.  What should I have searched for to dispel the fact that there is a sub here for Houston Dallas and Austin but not San Antonio?  I see some threads about San Antonio.  That's not what I asked.

bill millers - the tea, salsa and tacos are consistent across all the store. 

jim's - all of them

Funny!  I actually think both of those chains are pretty good for what they are.

It is a guilty pleasure, but I am a huge fan of Bill Miller's fried chicken.

their sausage and potato taco is damn good, get extra salsa

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider it. 

I like SA.  Wish I had more time to find and spend time at the good joints and haunts. 
 

All for an SA sub forum.

That was my go to. The closest BM to me closed a few months ago due to a lack of staff. I definitely miss the tacos.

The San Antonio thread is its own forum per se. I don't think we need a separate sub. There's not enough action to support it and it would just dilute what little action there is. If you have a specific question about San Antonio or want a recommendation, post there and it will get answered. 

Also, if you don't stumble into Jim's drunk after the bars close and throw down the chicken fried steak and eggs, then you're doing Jim's wrong.

The real reason is we like flying under the radar. Don't need any of y'all trying to Dallas up SA.

Bill Miller breakfast is super solid too.  Comes in a little tray with a scoop of refried beans, scrambled eggs, hash browns and either bacon or sausage and two tortillas.  The one by me is super cheap about salsa, you have to ask and they will almost always try and short you anyway.

Have not been to Jim's in a decade or so.  They used to have something called Canadian Cheese Soup that was pretty great.

This my Bill Millers choice of taco....   And their salsa is good.   Wish they would sell it in a bottle.

pro move - have them toast up the sausage some 

Tons of good food in SA. None of it can be found at Bill Millers or Jim’s. Jesus christ.

As someone who goes down there 2 or 3 times a year and never knows where to eat I'd welcome this.

I'm not reading through 18 pages but if it had a sub like Dallas and Houston I'd pick a genre and read the latest page.

Bigger than Dallas? Not even close. DFW metro population is 7.76 million...San Antonio metro is 2.56 million.

Austin, maybe but I'd assume they have their own sub because, you know, that's where UT is located and stuff.

That said, give em their own sub. It'll be neat.

I concede your point but Dallas and DFW are not the same thing.  If you look at a list of cities by population Dallas is listed and so is Fort Worth and both are smaller than San Antonio by population.  So yeah bigger than Dallas.

It just seems strange to not have one for SA but I don't care beyond the initial ask.  The thread is fine for me.

I beg to differ...

I don't need a sub to know our superiority to fucking Dallas.

San Antonio is about as superior as El Paso….maybe you beat Harlingen…

I guess I've never paid attention to the subs. Seriously, how is there no SA sub? Seems criminal.

Technically they're not the same thing, but they're widely considered as a package deal, making up the majority of Oklahoma's nutsack. Forth Worth obviously the cooler testicle. 

I hear San Antonio has good tacos?

The sub's title should be San Antone, btw. 

This, for sure. 

I don't pay attention to the subs either for what its worth.

Personally I'd prefer we get rid of the subs and just prefix the thread title with city like is done in the Dallas sub a lot.  I always forget about the subs.

Didn’t you hear? Austin won the taco wars due to modernization and creativity of fillings like Impossible beef, complete removal of animal byproducts from beans, and homogenization of tortillas.

Motherfucking Jim's at Oakhill was closed Sunday, July 3rd for lack of staff!!! I was Jim-blocked, dammit.

It's a great, totally unique, BBQ joint that offers great things like Fried Chicken, Brisket, Beans, and the aforementioned Rolls and Sweet Tea.  

It's not like anything else.

A distant cousin of Bill's who is trying to get into the fried chicken and rolls business?
