Houston Restaurant Weeks Wrap Up: III Forks

Several weeks back I went to III Forks on the last weekend of Houston Restaurant Weeks. If you recall from my first Houston Restaurants Weeks post, this was one of my favorite places from 2014's Houston Restaurant Weeks. Great service, great portion sizes and great food. My foodie group and I decided to ring in one members' birthday month with a trip to III Forks. Setup: III Forks is in the Houston Pavilions in downtown Houston. Downtown Houston is not ideal for any restaurant in my opinion. This city's downtown goes to sleep after five pm on weekdays and for most [...]

Black Girls Who Brunch AND Blog

Whew last weekend was exhausting! Sam Smith concert, an 80s vs 90s party and then brunch with fellow bloggers! This was all before noon on Saturday. If my schedule was not crazy enough, a flat tire meant I had to roll up to brunch in Uptown Park sporting my donut tire. Despite the weekend craziness, it was great to gather with a group of fellow bloggers to enjoy a delicious brunch and excellent conversation. Renia, the creator of Gristle and Gossip suggested that several black food bloggers meet for brunch during the Houston Restaurant Weeks month. Renia picked the french [...]

Del Frisco’s Goodbye Dinner

It's Thursday so I might as well post a fuzzy throwback of Morgan and I! Back when I had braids and pretended to be natural at a natural hair event with this natural hair maven ha! I could always count on her to do random unique things in Houston! I will selfishly miss my friend, but I am SO happy for her new opportunities back at home :) My dear friend Morgan left me to go back to her hometown yesterday :(. It was only fitting for us to end it how it all began, with food. We [...]

Houston Restaurant Weeks: Oceanaire Seafood Room

Oceaniare Dining Room This past weekend we celebrated my friend Leeann's birthday at Oceaniare Seafood Room. If you recall, Oceanaire was on my list of places to go for Houston Restaurant Weeks so I was excited about this pick! We had a larger group so we were seated in a semi private area to the side of the main dining room. The restaurant printed up personalized menus with "Happy Birthday Leeann!" for everyone. They even put a ribbon on one and gave to my friend as a souvenir. I thought that was a great touch! Personalized menu for the birthday [...]

Celebratory Brunch!

I met up with a group of high school friends to celebrate a few things. First, my good friend got engaged in Europe a few weeks ago and this was our first chance to see her in person to congratulate her. Second my other good friend just completed her degree. We are so very proud of her and it deserved a good brunch to celebrate. Then finally, as you can imagine, I surround myself with fellow foodies so we were also celebrating the first Sunday of Houston restaurant weeks :) This year there are not too many brunch options on the [...]

Save your money and clear your schedule! It's that time of the year again, Houston Restaurant Weeks!!!!! Every year Houston's best and greatest restaurants partner up with the Houston Food Bank for a fundraiser that benefits a worthy cause. For anywhere from $25-45 you can enjoy the top of the line restaurants in Houston and best of all $4-7 of your purchase goes to Houston Food Bank. This will be my fourth year partaking in this month long event. What I like most, is that it is a great opportunity to try some budget buster restaurants, especially steak houses. TIPS and FYIs [...]
