Why San Antonio is good for stressed food
Think bowls, broths, and anything you can eat with one hand while staring out a window. Ramen, pho, biryani and mac & cheese all show up here for the same reason: they slow you down. The act of eating slowly is half the medicine. We also lean toward meals with carbs + warm fat they nudge serotonin gently without spiking your blood sugar the way a candy bar would. Pair any of these with five minutes away from your screen and you'll feel different by the time the bowl is empty.
