As you prepare to watch the World Series this week, we asked our Axios Houston colleagues to tell us what a typical game day spread looks like.

  • So we can, you know, have an authentic viewing experience ... or find another way our town is superior.

Here's what Astros fans like to munch on, according to Axios' Shafaq Patel:

🧀 Nachos: We're big fans of Tex-Mex here. And while we don't think people up north can replicate the magic, you can at least try making chile con queso.

🍖 BBQ: You can't go wrong with smoked meat. Beef brisket is a classic, but you can also go with pork ribs, sausage, and even vegan meat.

🤤 Kolaches: The sausage-stuffed sweet bun is considered a classic Houston breakfast or snack. But you can also go traditional with a fruit jam.

🥖 Banh mi: Houston has one of the nation's largest Vietnamese American populations. This sandwich is the perfect combination of bread, pickled crunchy vegetables and meat. Don't forget the cilantro and mayo.
