If you answered mostly As:
FORT WORTH
A lot of people think that you're a cowboy. You are, but you are also capable of sliding right out of those muddy boots directly into a waxed apron. As an up-and-comer, you feel a sense of responsibility for being the cool kid, but you’ll never lose that Cowtown funk.
If you answered mostly Bs:
DALLAS
You didn’t choose the city life, you chose the Dallas city life. You’re a social butterfly. You know all the cool spots to take your friends and like a true local, you’ve got all the hacks for avoiding high tourist times. You’re fast-moving, always up to something new, and man, do you cook a mean steak.
If you answered mostly Cs:
GRAND PRAIRIE
Laid back and easy like Sunday morning, you march to the beat of your own drum. You’ve got crazy hometown pride. As soon as you get off work, you go straight to that local taqueria that is the best taqueria but you don’t want anyone else to know about it because it’s YOUR taqueria.
If you answered mostly Ds:
PLANO
You may not be the type to casually stroll around town but you know how to get in your car and go; go down the block to H-Mart, the local butcher, and awesome family-owned restaurants. You might not be going out every night but when the time is right, you know how to throw down. People are still talking about your staff holiday party of 2018.
