The Armadillo Palace

Situated across the street from its Goode Company flagship barbecue restaurant, The Armadillo Palace serves up good ‘ol, down-home Texas comfort food. With a rather large selection of tasty burger variations, this Kirby eatery is a perfect spot to pop in to for lunch. Beef ground fresh daily and crispy shoestring fries make the burger […]

Pappa Geno’s

 A brief search of the web shows that this place is awesome and we could not agree more. The bread is flown in from New York, the meat is perfectly seasoned, the fries are crunchy and delicious plus you can add super good gravy goodness. Based on this information you will feel better after eating […]

Cali Sandwich

The Combination Meats Sandwich (or a #9, if you’re so inclined). That, along with a French Vanilla Iced Coffee, is my usual order when I visit Cali Sandwich in Midtown. You can eat deliciously and on the cheap here while you’re buzzing around Midtown or Downtown Houston. My order, in fact, comes to only a […]

T@pioca

Treat your sweet tooth at T@pioca (Tapioca? T-at-pioca?) located on Fuqua near I-45. This place has a pretty sweet selection of various teas, shakes, coffees, and frozen yogurts to indulge in without breaking your budget. Not exactly the busiest place in the city, T@pioca generally has no more than one person working the counter, so […]

Teaworks

Whenever I stop by, I tend to gravitate towards the Green Tea (with tapioca), a mocha float (with tapioca), or – if I’m in desperate need of a quick caffeine fix (and I […]

Three-At-A-Time: The Quest For Immortality At Flying Saucer (Part 1)

Full Sail Session Black. That’s the beer that, as of right now, I keep coming back to. Full Sail Session Black. 16 visits and 50 beers later, I still end my trip to this bar with Full Sail Session Black.

O…M…G… Oh My Gogi!

To borrow a snippet from the popular 90s sitcom, Friends — [left-hand] Korean Food? Good. [right-hand] Mexican Food? Good. [put your hands together] Korean-Mexican Food? Goooooooooooood! The Oh My Gogi [pronounced go-jee] food truck combines the sweet and savory flavors of Korean barbecue with the bold flavors of Mexican street food. Upon the recommendation of […]

PIOLA, a real Italian pizzeria?! Sì!

For the longest time I had heard whispers that the pizza I had been enjoying for so long was not indeed, real pizza.  That there was something much tastier than the doughy, topping-laden, sauce-drenched pies the delivery places were shipping to my front door. Those same whispers also said… there was no such pizza in […]
