Chicken and Waffles

In a culture where we are always on a time crunch, for many people breakfast has become an afterthought. The Breakfast Klub has been a popular niche restaurant since 2001, but sadly it was this Houston native’s first time trying the place. I didn’t know what I was about to get into, so I was [...]

So Vino

If you’re looking for a place to sit down and with a bottle of wine with some close friends, or somewhere that you and that special someone can chill and have a good meal, put So Vino Wine Bar and Bistro at 507 Westheimer in Midtown at the top of your list. The quaint little [...]

Frosted Bakery

Since May 2009, Frosted Bakery has been feeding the appetite of Houston area lovers of sweets and treats.

There’s no better place to rest your haunches than Brasil. Tucked away inside lush brush, bush, and hanging vines the brick [...]

Houston’s Best Brazilian Bet

  If you are an inner looper (Galleria hopper, Rice Village dweller, or Heights tenant), then you might find a trip to Emporio Brazilian Cafe is like a trip to Brazil. Of course the trip is worth it.
