The saying goes — you never know how much something means to you until it is gone. It makes sense. How can I miss you if you’re never gone? It applies to just about everything if you think about it, girlfriends, pets, even restaurants. While I have always enjoyed the food at Mai’s Restaurant, I […]
Not Your Chinese Buffet’s Food: Tan Tan Restaurant
December 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I’m not going to sit here and pretend I’m any kind of authority on culinary arts. I’m just as likely to be impressed by a greasy hamburger wrapped in foil as I am an elegantly plated filet mignon. I just like food, man, anyway it comes and anyway I can get it (except for this […]

I will focus of their Café and Bakery since, well, I’m partial to its location in Rice Village, and because it’s […]

Houston Texans, AFC South Champs!
December 12, 2011 by 1 Comment
Houston has been waiting for this… we’ve been waiting for this since NFL football returned to this city. For years the Houston Texans have been flirting with “getting over the hump” or “taking that next step” in becoming a winning football team, breaking our hearts season after disappointing season. All of that changed with one […]
