`FATTEST CITY' HONOR NOT EATING HOUSTON RESIDENTS

WOODLAND HILLS (Wireless Flash) -- Houston may have been declared "America's Fattest City" by "Men's Fitness" magazine but residents there say they can stomach the honor. In fact, some Houstonians are predicting the dubious honor will finally bring some tasty benefits to the city's restaurant scene. "Houston Chronicle" restaurant writer Dai Huyhn says Houston residents may be fat but locals are living high on the hog pigging out at the city's numerous Tex-Mex and barbecue rib joints. She claims Houston is an "underrated" restaurant town but thinks the "Fattest City" tag might be enough to convince some food lovers to book a trip immediately.
