Dak & Bop

So guys finally made it to Dak & Bop for some Korean fried chicken! Forgive me if you perceive this as ignorant, but when I think of fried chicken, I think of scenes like the Help where Minnie shows Ceila Foote the beauty of mounds of white crisco grease. A great American tradition that is often stereotypically attributed to African Americans. Right or wrong, that is where my mind goes when I hear fried chicken. I have taken ownership of this American food as something quintessentially a part of the African American cuisine. Consider me a little possessive over it [...]

Brunch At Lucille’s

For Father's Day my family and I enjoyed brunch at Lucille's in the Medical District.

Miyako Happy Hour

It feels like I haven't posted a new restaurant on my blog in forever! The problem is, I have been sticking to the places that I know and love, so few new spots. Then I have gone the way of other food bloggers and microblog more of my adventures on Instagram and Snapchat (shameless plug, follow me there if you do not already!) Anywho one Friday, I was in search of a new Happy Hour to visit with my Foodie group. I asked my Houston Food Blogger Collective crew and they all gave me great suggestions, many of which I [...]
