Official Houston thread that isn't on the Texas Board

One of my favorites. Same people as pit room.

Went to Xin Chao the other day. Co-chef is the Blind Goat owner / chef (Christine Ha).

Highly recommend it.

 

My buddy is the gm. I’m glad you liked it.

 

Absolutely. Blind Goat is probably my favorite place in town. It’s nice to have a brick and mortar place to go to. Will definitely be back.

 

Yes their nachos are A+

 

They forgot pinkertons

 

I don’t understand the love for roegels. It’s like one step above Dickey’s

Pinkertons is the best in town

 

I live right by Levy Park. I walked over to Woodshed this week. Their BBQ was pretty good. I haven't hit enough places to compare. I really enjoy Pinkerton’s, The Pit Room, and Pizzitola’s.

 

That location has been like four different things starting with Beavers and they’ve all been great. Goes to show how tough the restaurant biz can be.

 

I wish Feges would get a real location not in a food court.

 

And Pit Room

saying Roegels is like Dickey’s is a horrible take

 

They just opened one in Spring Branch off long point

 

Used some leftover brisket to make a quick ramen

 

Boo this random rain that wasn’t on the radar. I was in the pool.

 

Ctrl+f "rudy's"

Wtf?

Spoiler

 

That place is garbage. Amazes me people speak highly of it.

 

What place

 

I was joking fwiw

 

My mother loves it. It drives me nuts.

 

Rudy's

 

I enjoy their breakfast tacos

 

Ya I know. Just don’t understand people

 

They’re the worst

 

I guess this explains why the quality has gone down a bit at cantina barba. Their attention has been elsewhere.

Rudy’s and roegels are about the same

the venn diagram of people who like roegels and who are still upset about Kay’s closing is a circle

 

Lord have mercy

 

Cantina Barba

 

Fuck em but this is hilarious.

 

Brenners on the bayou Texas akaushi ribeye is the best steak I’ve ever had

 

Look at mr fancy pants

 

Going to the #Houston Dynamo game tonight. I don't think I’ve been in a few seasons. No clue if they are good or not but live sports and beer.

Any plans for the Houston folks?

 

How was it

 

What a shit take.. tough to beat roegels brisket or pork belly (never had better pork belly)

 

….have you been to pit room, truth, or Pinkertons?

Roegels is dog food when compared with those places

 

Lmao roegels brisket > pit room


I’ve been to the og truth in brenham and yes it’s better

 

Which suburb do you live in

 

Which chili’s is your favorite

 

?

 

Lmao

 

so which one

 

A lot of fun. Crowd wasn’t that big but had good energy. The tickets were free from Kroger so couldn’t beat that price. Many drinks were had. The night cap at The Cellar turned into closing the bar down. Good times.

 

Did u do Powerade shots

 

I only do those with you.

Other shots were had for sure.

 

This is the in-the-loop snobbery energy I need and expect.

 

I lived in the heights before I moved out of Houston :)

 

It just means more here. It’s pretty great.

 

The McIntyre’s people turned the old Spaghetti Warehouse on the Bayou into a downtown location.

 

I know this is pretty last minute, but do any of you Houston guys want tickets on the first level to the Astros game tonight (Sec 125)? It's dollar dog night in case that helps.

EDIT: they're also free tickets in case that helps

 

I wish I wasn’t stuck in Mexico City I’d take them off your hands. Both flights have been delayed today.
