Food and drink (11-12-2004 edition)
Houston's food and drink reviewers have been busy again this week. Here's the roundup for all you hungry and thirsty Houstonians.
Brian McManus likes the New American cuisine being turned out by Jeff Armstrong in the Sam Houston's Hotel's 17 restaurant:
[Q]uibbles about 17 are hard to come by. To bring such wildly different flavors together in peace is quite a feat. Armstrong is one of Houston's most exciting new chefs, and certainly its best new diplomat.
Alison Cook heads out of town again, this time to Pearland, where she enjoyed her trip to Lemond New World Cuisine. Good for her and good for Pearland, but maybe Houston's newspaper could review some Houston restaurants every once in a while? Just a suggestion (for the second week in a row).
TP pays a brunch visit to a forgotten (and neglected) favorite of mine, The Raven Grill, and gives the experience four out of five rolls:
[T]he Raven Grill does very well what it does, and in this reviewer's opinion, it need not do any more.
I didn't even realize they serve brunch, so that could well be a destination of at least two blogHOUSTONians this weekend.
Dai Huynh comments on the opening of the new Fox Sports Grill in the Galleria, as well as other food news (the most notable being the closing of Chef G's). I'm not sure how the location is going to work out for Fox (it's on the far east end, near the Sage entrance), but it's going to work out great for me, as it's right across the street from where I work. Yum!
Robb Walsh notes that Anthony Bourdain will be in town promoting his cookbook. Sadly, the blogHOUSTON crew did not see Walsh at the Wolfgang Puck promotion.
Finally, Gracie Ochoa checks out the R Bar, which is apparently next door to an easily viewed motorcycle shop. That's different, but kind of appealing.
That's it for this week. Enjoy!
