Having said this, it is what it is. It's just that we all hail from different places before moving here, and obviously the cost of living differs from place to place, so to say that it is not high here, just doesn't apply to everyone.

I too am a Midwesterner (Mo., Ks, ND, Mn) and I think the restaurant prices are comparable if not slightly cheaper in TV
for similar food choices and ambience. Now the groceries are a different story. Publix is the most expensive regular grocery (not including Whole Foods or Fresh Market) that I have shopped. We do most of our grocery shopping at ALDI when in TV and save big time compared to Publix and even Wal Mart.
