It all started in 2006 with a red vespa scooter and a food trailer. From the Austin food truck tradition that has exploded in recent years, chef Michael Rypka created a monster—specifically, a little red devil—in Torchy’s Tacos. In fact, Torchy’s Tacos has such a following that many people (okay, just my friends) cited it as a prerequisite for moving […]
Walking into Aka Sushi for the first time made it clear this place is sophisticated. This is certainly not a mom-and-pop sushi place: this is the place you take someone to have a serious talk about where your relationship is headed. Sushi can often be a difficult meal to know what you’re doing. The language, for starters, […]
Frank’s Grill is the epitome of everything delicious about a real down home breakfast and lunch. Even without a website, it’s Yelp reviews let everyone know that it’s one of the best. With multiple locations throughout the Houston area to choose from, I had recently had an opportunity to visit the Westchase location for breakfast […]
As Bellaire expands from a Houston fringe community to a booming center of original businesses, Sustain Juicery is ahead of the game. This is nowhere near a Smoothie King-style beverage experience, as this newer, healthier cousin dominates with all kinds of original juice blends. There’s even a small but, delectable selection of smoothie options. When […]
For some excellent Asian-fusion cuisine in Bellaire, look no further than the Lemongrass Café. Blending charming Southeast Asian aesthetic with vaguely Italo-European influences, Lemongrass Café boasts an airy atmosphere and a smiling clientele. And boy, do I know why. Open semi-late hours (to 9:30 pm most nights), they’ve got a menu for everyone and everything […]
Brunch spots are an emerging trend in dining exploration and with so many original and diverse options, making a decision can turn into that conversation. Enter Brasserie Max and Julie. Located on Montrose, it’s sequestered in a charmingly architected little strip, the Brasserie is shaded and bedecked in elegantly disheveled horticulture with live music trickling […]
While it doesn’t look like much, the Sunshine Vegetarian Deli & Health Food Store packs some pleasant surprises. The outside looks like a standalone corner store–but the parking lot is suspiciously full. A cheery sign flashes open! O-P-E-N! Posters abound around the tinted glass front doors that, at first glance, look generic—until you read them. […]
Are you looking for a somewhat upscale restaurant to dine for lunch or dinner that features American classics? I highly recommend Houston’s! With two locations in the city, Houston’s is a place you can’t pass up! I have been to Houston’s in the Galleria area many times and it’s always been a success. I usually […]
Living in the Lone Star State definitely has its perks, like not having to pay state income tax and plenty of job opportunities. However, one of the top things on just about every Texan’s mind is where can they get some great tasting barbeque. Many of the excellent barbeque joints in the Houston area tend […]
Houston’s Midtown is known for the numerous restaurants and bars that draw great crowds to the neighborhood helping the community thrive. Midtown has an upbeat, lively atmosphere and a new bar has come onto the scene ready to add some variety to the mix. The Iron Cress Hospitality Group owns and operates many bars in the midtown […]
