Do Nobi Disappointed, Eat At Nobi

You know what’s rad? Fire. Fire is the greatest thing to ever happen to man. It’s been awesome since the very first caveman witnessed lightning strike the Earth, watching it ignite a flame, and turning to his caveman bro and saying “Dude. DUDE. Get a stick.” So while we really haven’t evolved much from our inherent […]

From the Ashes… Mai’s Restaurant

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

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 […]

Of Brown Bags And Aluminum Foil: Taqueria Del Sol

I remember my dad stepping into my grandma’s house, holding several large brown paper bags. That’s a pretty vivid vision. I remember everyone being excited. I remember seeing everyone in the house suddenly scramble for plates or napkins or at the very least a place to sit. I remember my mom calling for me to […]

Chi-Town goodness in the H-Town. Say what?

So let’s say that you happen to be on the north side of town and you have a craving for an out of the ordinary non-Texan meal. Look no further than Chicago Pizza and Italian Beef located on Airline in the Heights. The name covers the main dishes that are served here; however, they actually […]

Ohhh, Baby!! Ruggles Cafe and Bakery

Disclaimer: Drugs have not actually been found (or tested) in any of their food. If you go around town you’ll find Ruggles Grill (very fancy), Ruggles Green (very organic) and Ruggles Café and Bakery. I will focus of their Café and Bakery since, well, I’m partial to its location in Rice Village, and because it’s […]

Lankfords Grocery List of Delish

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 […]

Canyon Cafe

Some of the best places to eat in Houston are near the Galleria and this place is no exception. I stopped by this place for lunch with some business partners and fell in love with the Pancho’s Enchiladas. Service was very quick during the lunch crowd. The chips and salsa are very unique — the […]
