2 Saints, 9 Tacos and a Chihuahua Trophy

lastnightpics — Wed, 02 May 2012 21:24:35 +0000

Just back from a trip to Boston and New York and one of my favorite things to do is eat at the restaurants other cities have to offer. One rule I try and stick with though is that I do not eat Mexican when I travel because I believe that there is no better place than Texas to score some scrumptious tacos. So before my big trip to the East Coast I loaded up on my tacos. What better place [...]

The hay merchant

the wait is over…

Unless you live out in amber fields of grain, it’s very likely you know who cocktail geniuses Bobby Heugel and Kevin Floyd are. Don’t ring a bell? How about a little place called Anvil Bar and Refuge? Yes, that Anvil. Now, take the detail, understanding and utter craft of Anvil but replace those shelves of bottles with a wall of taps and what do we have…The! Hay! Merchant!

Wanting to add more roots in one of [...]

Holy Heat!

How did it become so hot so fast? We skipped over spring and dove head first into summer. But I’m not complaining. I will take sunshine over clouds any day! Plus the sunshine brings everyone out to dine on patios, to the biking/walking trails, having picnics, sitting by pools – you name it and someone is out enjoying the day. All the movement makes the city seem alive and vibrant. And it wakes up a desire to get out [...]

CUISINE A TASTE OF RIO GRANDE VALLEY

Although this truck no longer prowls the street and is strictly for private events, it was at such an event that we got to taste their fare. One taste and we decided we had to let you know about it. And even if you miss the truck, there’s a surprise in store. This Tex-Mex haven on wheels was offering a taco plate that came with two tacos, rice and beans (options were [...]

Event Pearl Ball Lite

Houstonians rounded up at the River Oaks Country Club for a phenomenal evening of Texas fun. Supporters of the Good Samaritan Foundation, attired in Texas chic, dined and danced for an amazing cause. The décor created an elegant, Hill Country ambiance in the ballroom. From the burlap tablecloths, draped in antique lace with mixed colorful arrangements of Texas native wildflowers, roses and hydrangea to the more rustic arrangements of blooming branches, the Texas warmth was present. Guests dined on ROCC’s [...]

NOT YOUR TYPICAL COWBOY

Located off Westheimer, behind an iron veil, lies a place that thrives on tradition. Chama Gaúcha will not only teach you a thing or two about Brazilian Steakhouses but they will also show just what exceptional service should be.

First we need to discuss the meaning behind the name. Chama, meaning flame in Portuguese, is the main element at a Brazilian Steakhouse. Everything is kissed by flame. This fire is also indicative of the passion for the culture [...]
