Lunch

A few months back I introduced you all to a new group I helped form, the Black Blogger Clique.  Our aim is to create a collective of black bloggers who curate events and content that fits our key demographic, black women.  We are still in the beginning stages so bare with us, but we did recently host our very first tasting.  Other than being fabulous women of color, our other shared trait is food so a foodie event seemed perfect.  Eadeaux's Cajun Cocina Food Truck (black owned!) graciously hosted our group and provided us plenty of content to share! So [...]

I found a gem that has been in Houston for ten years and somehow I am just learning about it!  For National Fajita Day earlier this month, I visited local restaurant Fajita Pete's with Renia from Gristle and Gossip and it was everything that you want in a great in a good fajita restaurant.  For all of the yummy details on Fajita Pete's keep reading below!

East Hampton Sandwich Co. is coming in with a bang as it joins the Houston food scene.  They opened their first location in the ultra chic River Oaks District a few months back and have now joined Velvet Taco in a new retail space in Montrose.  I had the pleasure of visiting yesterday during their grand opening and of course I have thoughts below on East Hampton Sandwich Co.! Location/Setup Located at the corner of Westheimer and Montrose, the second location is in a great spot near Snooze and Velvet Taco.   Best of all, it has its own parking lot [...]

Bronx's own Jamaican restaurant Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill made its way to Houston opening TWO locations in the last few weeks! They hosted a grand opening with much fanfare a few weekends ago.  I was feeling a bit anti-social so I skipped the big party and decided to swing by on a quiet Saturday to try out Golden Krust!  In short, I enjoyed it but keep reading for the full experience ! The Setup I visited the Westheimer location which is in a busy shopping center near a Home Depot and Pet's Mart.  I expect it do well [...]

To know me is to KNOW that I order Halal Guys via Uber Eats AT least once a month.  I have no shame!  Despite Halal Guys having several convenient locations around Houston, I still had not visited in person.  After being invited to stop by a location to see all that Halal Guys had to offer, I could not pass up a visit and of  course provide you all with the info!  Read along for all of my details on my visit to the Halal Guys! Location and Setup: I visited the first Houston location located on Farnham near 59 [...]
