Really nice feature in the Sunday Times travel section today about Houston's food scene. A quote from the article:
"I was thinking, too, about how, in the years since I left Houston, where I grew up, it’s gone from a city where the high-end restaurants were as gilded as they were mostly mediocre to a place with a world-class food scene and a rising generation of culinary stars. Instead of playing catch-up to restaurant trends elsewhere, Houston’s most talented chefs are finding their own voice: uncovering the food traditions of the area’s ethnic populations, experimenting with little-known seafood varieties from the nearby gulf, and embracing Texas’s strange agricultural rhythms."
Profiles on Reef, Beaver's, Stella Sola, Textile, and Block 7. I've eaten at most of these joints too. Glad to see some love thrown our way.
