Food and drink roundup (06-26-2005 edition)
It's ten o'clock on a Sunday night, and what better time to read about food. That's right, we have a food and drink roundup about to happen.
Alison Cook checks out Vieng Thai and deems what she finds "authentic Thai cookery."
Robb Walsh tries Soul on the Bayeaux. Who knew that little place we pass on the way to U. of H. games might actually be good? My favorite part of his review:
The menu at Soul on the Bayeaux describes the place as a "Cajun Soulfood Restaurant." It also says "We zydeco everyday!" and "N'awlins cooking at its best." No doubt this mixed bag of cultural catchwords is going to get people riled up. They'll write letters explaining that there aren't any Cajuns in New Orleans and I need to take a trip to Opelousas or Mamou or somewhere.I'm used to it. Every time I write about Houston restaurants serving food from Louisiana, somebody sends a letter to the editor calling me an idiot. I don't mind -- really. Because the truth is, people in Louisiana don't agree on this stuff either. And they call each other idiots all the time. It sort of makes me feel like part of the family.
Ok, Robb.
Peggy Grodinsky sits in on a Dorothy Huang cooking class.
Dai Huynh sets out in search of flan.
Ken Hoffman makes me purchase a liter bottle of the new Coke Zero. I don't know. I must still have the old Pepsi One on the brain.
And finally, Joey Guerra likes the new digs for Guava Lamp.
World class, all of it. Enjoy!!
