Food and drink roundup (1-13-2005 edition)
Houston's food and drink reviewers are just plain ... nice this week.
Alison Cook plans on returning to Saffron, despite the weak wine list, inconsistent service, shortages of menu items, and other problems described in her review. The "moody" room and those $9 exotic mixed drinks must really be all that. Back in November, Robb Walsh wrote that the food really was all that. So maybe it is.
Walsh doesn't bother with that much detail in this week's review of Cajun Town Cafe, run by a Salvadoran-American who learned "Cajun" cooking by working his way through the Greek-American Pappas faux-Cajun chain. The snapper isn't Red snapper (but some fish that comes from somewhere, according to the restaurant), the red beans and rice with Cajun sausage were disappointing, and the gumbo was "wimpy." But Walsh liked the cafe's rendition of those Cajun mainstays, cornbread and fried catfish.
Ken Hoffman posts a review of Dunkin' Donuts' impressive "limited time only" Steak Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich. The thing packs a massive 590 calories, 24 grams of fat, and 66 grams of carbs!
Finally, Amanda Orr posts a generic review of a generic English pub, Baker St. Pub in the Village.
Enjoy your food and drink this weekend, and watch out for those freeway tow trucks! (the mayor's changes do not take place until council approves them next week)
