In the last couple of years, you might have seen Snap Kitchens popping up all over Houston. The bright orange and green letters are certain to have caught your eye and now with eight locations in all corners of our fair city, Snap Kitchen is easier to spot than ever. The mission of Snap Kitchen seems simple, […]
When was the last time you went to Sylvia’s? No, not your distant relative’s house, but Houston’s favorite place for Tex-Mex dining. It would be enough that Sylvia Casares is the titular subject of Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen, and enough to simply and appropriately applause her superior skills as a chef, to call her the Queen of […]
Houston has plenty of coffee shops and smoothie places, especially with fast-beverages being standard fare for the busy lifestyle of the typical Houstonian. The Teahouse, however, changed the face of the beverage market when it came to Houston in 2000. Tapioca, for those of you who are not familiar, are little starch balls that add a […]
Ruggles Green distances itself from the primary, by not being blue, yellow or red, but by committing to a healthy, delicious eating experience.

Eurasia Fusion Sushi opened where Zen 5 used to dwell, and it has a lot of recent history in the area, especially in my personal life. It’s where I celebrated my birthday for 3 years and running, it’s where I went to celebrate my high school graduation (when it was Zen 5). I’ve had long […]
A posh little place with across-the-street parking, Brick & Spoon is a fabulous brunch spot. Do live music (a bit loud, but definitely bumpin’), amazing build-your-own Bloody Mary options, and delectable food catch your attention?
