Rant: I dropped $85 on a local guide's food tour in Austin and every stop was a chain
They told me we would hit hidden spots only locals know, then walked us into a Jimmy John's on 6th Street. What is your go-to way to find real food recommendations in a new city?
Okay but here's the thing nobody talks about, the hotel front desk people are way better than any app for this. They eat out every single day and they know which spots are actually good versus which ones pay for reviews. I always ask them where THEY go on their night off, not where they send guests.
