Hurricane Grill and Win...
If you know me, or read some of my previous posts, I have a weakness for wings. However, wings have to be done just right and I have long been disappointed in what Houston has to offer in wings. What makes a good wing? This is my wing criteria: The wings must be large All natural (free...
Bon Ga – Really G...
I had eaten Korean food before — but nothing more adventurous than the typical BBQ. Ya know, they bring out all of the meat and you cook it at your own little grill to make Korean BBQ. I’m not saying this isn’t authentic Korean food – but it reminded me of the BBQ...
Houston Sucks at Wings ...
[Note: I just found out the Boheme is in the process of upgrades and remodeling of the kitchen to meet the growing demand - the wings will be off the menu for approximately 3 weeks from May 7th. I would still recommend visiting and trying other items] [Update: Since writing this, a new...

Every brand has an ultimate goal: loyal fan base and following. You can usually identify if a brand has reached the ultimate following by whether or not people get tattoos of their brand, e.g., Apple, Harley Davidson, or even Mario. …I got a Sonic the Hedgehog tattoo when I turned...
Country Drive to Secret...
[Update 01/19/2013: Call before heading out there, they have the store listed for sale.] Texas offers something free for everyone to enjoy – a country drive. Country drives offer more romance than any Danielle Steel novel – though I am not sure about that Mr. Shades of Grey...
Luling City BBQ is Pret...
Houston, Texas. You would think it would be easy to find good bbq around here. It’s home of the worlds largest rodeo, and it’s freakin’ Texas. But no, its a never ending sea of chain restaurants serving mediocracy. Austin, you don’t have the same problem. Luckily,...
Chasing the Barbecue Dr...
CLOSED Darn you, Franklin! A good pal introduced me to Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas. It’s good. It’s reaaal good. But I don’t live in Austin, and I have been chasing that dragon in the confines of the Houston city limits since. I just need a little sumfin’...
Deserved Indulgence! (a...
As mentioned, in the first of the year post – while I’m concentrating on healthier eating & raw…I definitely think we need to give ourselves a break to spoil ourselves here and there. So, last week – I indulged and it was oh so worth it!! I’ve seen...
Lucky Cypress. You have...
[Update: Jitterbug has since closed it's doors] Not just a great coffee house, Jitterbug cafe is the best restaurant in Fairfield (Cypress, TX). Too often this establishment is passed by when local residents ponder where to fetch some nourishment forgetting that it serves much more than...

[Update: since writing this sometime ago, I don't like BW3 as much. I don't know if my taste has changed, but the sauces are beginning to taste more like flavored corn syrup. Too much efficiency in creating?] I have a guilty pleasure. I love Buffalo Wild Wings sauce. I am a 2 time...
Franklin BBQ, a meat ni...
We’re from Texas, we like BBQ and we know good BBQ when we taste it. There are many “just ok” places in Houston, and honestly, I don’t have a favorite within the city limits. In my opinion, the best place closest to home is Junior’s Smokehouse in Hempstead,...
