Brunches

Apologies, it's been sometime since I've done a favorite brunch list.  I have my reasons though.  There is a lot of pressure to pick favorites and I always feel like I am forgetting one.  Then add to that my brunching activities were pretty non-existent the last few years given all that has gone on in the world.  But as I've started getting out more, I've found myself wanting my own list of solid brunch places to visit.   So here is my 2022 Favorite Brunches list,  I will update it as I encounter more. Let me also manage expectations, this list [...]

Before the world shut down, I attended a work Christmas dinner at Savoir Houston over in the Heights.  I was super impressed with the food, service, the restaurant and the cute bar next door.   My plan was to come back and take photos in the daylight for a blog post.  Well here we are, over a year later, but I finally made it back for a socially distant brunch with a friend.  I gotta say Savoir Houston may be the best brunch in town that you just did not know about. The Setup During my visit in 2019, I recalled [...]

As I share my latest restaurant review a few things come to mind.  First, whewww this feels weird?! It's been so long.  Second, I feel the need to justify my outings to those who I know disagree.   While there are a series of new restaurant reviews on my page, my outings still remain few and far between with me mainly dining at home with takeout or home cooked meals.   Of the four-five times I've dined inside, I made a point to pick places where the experience could not be replicated at home.  Brennan's of Houston s the epitome of a [...]

Whew! It feels weird to be writing a restaurant post.  As many of us have, I scaled back dining inside of restaurants due to current conditions.  Instead, I provide my support through takeout and of course sharing on my social media.  This has worked for some time, but let's be real, brunch is different!  Part of what makes brunch so good are the vibes and people that come along with it.  SO for Black Restaurant Week I decided to venture out with a few blogger friends to Trez Art and Wine.  Here is my review, enjoy!  The Vibe Trez Art [...]

My brunch game has been weak this year, not going to lie!  When the folks over at Postino invited me out to try to the brunch menu, I jumped at the chance to do some much needed catching up.  I have visited Postino before (check out the recap here if you missed that), but for happy hour not brunch.  I typically do not write two blogs about the same restaurant, but the brunch was so good it deserved its own write up!  Get in to Postino's Brunch. The Drinks At its core, Postino is a wine bar so of COURSE [...]
