I was in Seattle last week visiting relatives and while I wouldn't necessarily want to live there, I have to admit the view (from a park just down the street from their house) is much nicer than the generic Texas suburb where I live.
Wife and I went to Lubbock to visit our daughter at Texas tech the other weekend. She had found a steak house that's kinda on the way so we stopped for lunch. Perini's in Buffalo Gap TX. Good steaks and jalapeno poppers. A big step up from our past stops at DQ. This was at the entrance
I absolutely LOVED that campus when we took my daughter to visit.
She wound up going elsewhere, but, it would have been one of my top choices...
FWIW.... The Triple J Chophouse is one of only a few places I've eaten steaks where they paraded it before cooking. IIRC, I believe they serve Red Raider Meats products, from the Ag Sciences Department at TT. My Ribeye was excellent. Cool location on Buddy Holly. Lots of local bars and music nearby.

I hope they didn't get into the "chewy" box...or it'd be curtains...

TT was the one school we didnt visit with my daughter. She had a friend going there so she and a friend from high school drove up for the weekend. We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit.
We ate at triple j over the summer when we took her for raiderland experience. The food was excellent, but they didn't parade the steaks before cooking. Maybe because of covid, or maybe because the A/C quit while we were waiting.
Had to chuckle 're red raider meats, this is dinner tonight
