While my heart and soul reside in Austin, Texas, my stomach calls Houston home. Houston has one of the best restaurant cultures I've ever had the pleasure of evaluating. I woke up this morning at about 8:30 a.m. craving the best of everything Houston has to offer: Buffalo Grille, Tony's, Escalantes, Niko Niko's, Mission Burrito, and more. Because my mom loves to feed me, I hopped a flight to Houston at 10 a.m. and soon found myself at Escalantes for lunch, Niko Niko's for dinner, with the promise of Buffalo Grille for breakfast tomorrow. Kyle, Brittany, and Campbell happened to be in town when this spontaneous craving struck, so we rounded out the weekend with a trip to the zoo and the photographic discovery of a lifetime.
