AGREED AND SECONDED.
I live out in the SW portion of the Houston area, Katy/Richmond area. I grew up here, and even going away to college in the 80s, I missed Houston restaurants something big when leaving for college. Austin/San Marcos had NOTHING...now they just have copies of everything. Growing up, we went out to eat at least once a week.
I miss those days...happened to marry a man who hates crowds and Houston traffic. He's a country boy who still waves at passing cars on a country highway and loves the backroads.
Im a suburban gal, though. Love the conveniences of the city, but would rather be on the edge instead of in the middle of it.
Is Sonny Look's still there? Good beef!
Oh, hech yeah...Houston has the BEST restaurants. I'm coming home for the first time in a year in December-January and I'm already salivating over the thoughr of going to all my favorite places. I get 24 days to get my cravings all fixed.
I've even craved James Coney Island.
