Top 5

One thing I will miss about Houston is the tremendous variety of restaurants. Houston has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the world. South Padre Island is not exactly a culinary capital, but hey, whaddaya want in a city of 2500 people?!

But I did find this recently: a listing of the Top 5 restaurants on South Padre Island. This article appeared in the "Jackson Observer" but it's not Jackson, Mississippi or Jackson anywhere else. But I look forward to trying out the new restaurants.
