Simplicity is a concept that can easily be complicated. When you think about it, the burger is a simple concept — buns, meat, cheese, toppings. Simple. So in a city where there are so many places that offer different flavors of basically the same meat-bun-cheese-topping formula, what is there to differentiate one burger joint from […]

November 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
There is a common stigma that comes with food trucks — it’s just food truck food, it isn’t gourmet. Well while some Houstonian, self-proclaimed “foodies” may turn their noses up at food trucks like the Eatsie Boys trailer, we at MHL will continue to enjoy their culinary creations! With a menu filled with items that […]

Houston is a great burger town. Ask ten different Houstonians where the best burger in Houston is and you’ll likely get ten different answers. Read ten articles written by ten so-called experts and you still wouldn’t find a consensus “best burger”. Take ten people with you to The Original Hubcap Grill for burgers and you’ll […]

MHL slows down @ Byzantio Cafe and Bar

The more I visit restaurants around town that have been converted from old homes, the more I realize how uniquely “Houston” these establishments are. I especially enjoy when the owners of the restaurant leave intact the major architectural features of the re-purposed home. Byzantio Cafe and Bar on West Gray, just outside of Midtown, is […]
Catch of the Day! Coffee House Fish Tacos

In the culinary sea of the Houston East End, there is no shortage of great tacos to be found among the largely Hispanic neighborhoods. With an area littered with taco trucks and taquerias serving up traditional beef, chicken and pork tacos, it was refreshing to find tacos with a lighter, much more So-Cal style. The […]
