Moxie’s Grill & Bar

I will if you will…   I’ve been to Moxie’s Grill & Bar four times, and this is the first time I remembered to take a photo by this IG worthy wall. My mind is always focused on getting a great food shot that I forget I want a photo of myself, too. When you… Continue reading Moxie’s Grill & Bar

Aqua S

Houston is home to the only Aqua S in North America, and that’s pretty freakin’ awesome. Aqua S in Sydney has been on my foodie bucket list for the last three years. Ever since I saw that blue soft serve tip peaking out of a cloud of fairy floss on Instagram, I lusted for it… Continue reading Aqua S

The same dish, but lifted and with a brussels sprouts hat. Loved the thick, chewy noodles. Nancy’s Hustle

I went to Nancy’s Hustle in EaDo last weekend for dinner on Easter Sunday, and it was fantastic. I called to make sure they were open, and the gentleman on the phone suggested I make a reservation. Whutttt, I had no idea they took reservations. Paul and I had been wanting to eat there, and… Continue reading Nancy’s Hustle

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a gorgeous bar to your left.   Lots of natural light in this lovely restaurant.     The weather in Houston was… Continue reading Fig & Olive

One of my favorite places for sushi in Houston is Kata Robata. I love their selection of fresh, buttery fish. When you are seated at Kata (we usually try to get a spot at the sushi counter across from Chef Hori), the first page of the menu will have that day’s featured drinks, dishes, sushi, and… Continue reading Kata Robata

Houston was put through hell last week. Homes were destroyed, lives were lost, and water still covers parts of the city right now. I heard a lot of stories from friends on their terrifying experiences during the storm.. watching the water slowly rise from the ground up to their chest within only a couple hours,… Continue reading Hurricane Harvey

The chicken sandwiches from @thecourageouschicken The chicken sandwiches from @thecourageouschicken are 🔥🔥🔥🤤 it’s no wonder they’re rated one of the top 9 ghost kitchens in Houston by @culturemaphou!
They operate out of @cafeexpresstx River Oaks, and are available exclusively with @ubereats 🚗

I got The OG, The General, Valiente Chili Lime (my fav), and Rebel Hot. The sandwiches are delicious and HUGE. I actually dropped one while trying to take a pic 🤫 bc my hands could not contain the massiveness of the sandwich. Don’t worry, I still ate all of it 😬 #nofoodwasted
Also got their Hot Mess fries (yum!), and for dessert, carrot cake and brownie (both so good!)
The sandwiches are $12, which is a fair price for such a big and thick piece of chicken. Order yours via @ubereats today!

#Throwback Travel Thursday to when I was at @skidx #Throwback Travel Thursday to when I was at @skidxb Dubai and won a penguin dance contest, scoring the opportunity to pet and take a picture with this penguin. I beat out over 20 little kids... look at all their salty little faces 😆 lol kidding!! But honestly I probably “won” because they knew I’d shell out a ridiculous amount of money for this digital photo. Coincidentally this penguin just arrived to Dubai from Texas (San Antonio). I will never forget this moment.. and the smell 🐧❤️

New year, new restaurant. My first #tacotuesday 🌮 of the year is dedicated to @tres.htx, a new taco spot combining Middle Eastern and Mexican flavors. My takeout photos do not do the food justice (peep their IG— their dishes and cocktails are beautiful)! Everything I ordered was legit amazing. Got their Street Elote, Gobernador machete, Baja taco, A la diabla taco, Rib eye carne asada taco (favorite!), and flan for dessert. Check my Stories to see their cute space— I definitely recommend this spot!

Big freakin’ delicious burrito 🌯 12" flour to Big freakin’ delicious burrito 🌯 12" flour tortilla filled with Birria de Res (beef), rice, beans, fries, mozzarella cheese, cilantro, onion, salsa verde & chipotle sauce. Did I mention it was freakin’ delicious?

This was my first time dining out since March 2020 😳 Definitely felt safe here as Paul and I picked the furthest table away from everyone out in the ginormous @8thwonderbrew backyard 😋 Our first date since the pandemic started 😄 Thanks, @blkmktbirria @8thwonderbrew 👩‍❤️‍👨
