You know...I really don't know! :< They used to advertize pretty heavily in the old days...now I hear nothing. But then so did Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Not sure what happened.

Houston's restaurant scene has changed a bit too, but since I dont go out as much as I used to, I dont have a good sense of what is good anymore. There used to be some EXCELLENT seafood restaurants, Nantucket Inn, The Blue Oyster, and San Jacinto's Monument Inn, to name a few. Now all I know about is Pappadeaux's which isnt too bad, but the more affordable dishes are not that interesting. Babin's up on I10/Katy/Mason Rd. has trumped Pappadeaux's so far. They are the only place that I know of now that makes an excellent broiled and stuffed flounder (which is my all time favorite dish). If you get a chance to eat there, eat the bread pudding : TO DIE FOR!!!!

Cafe Express is also a very good diner.

I know of some very good little cafes here in Richmond, though that surpass some of the big restaurants. Sandy McGee's on Main street (don't go to the one on Hwy 6...Sandy got shafted by the co-owner there...) and Italian Maid. Rancho Grande has some of the best Mexican I have ever had.
