  • The 10 best restaurants to open in Houston in 2022 – Yet another pandemic year actually brought a number of excellent new eateries to town.
  • The 10 best restaurants to open in Houston in 2021 – Yet another pandemic year actually brought a number of excellent new eateries to town.
  • A passeggiata through Houston's Italian restaurant history – This is a fun piece that has resonated quite widely since it was first published some years ago. It's been updated quite a bit since then, including just last month. A bit lengthy, it can be enjoyable to peruse. The history is somewhat more interesting than you might think.

  • Restaurants open for lunch on Monday – Monday is the most popular day for restaurants to be closed.
