It has been ages since a Food and Drink round up appeared. They stopped about the time of Hurricane Katrina. It didn’t seem appropriate for me to prattle on about such matters while people lost life and home. It’s time we got back to eating and drinking business. I’ve picked a few reviews from the past few weeks.
Alison Cook sees the ghosts of Antone’s Po’ boys past as she wanders through Gravitas, located in Antone’s former digs on Taft. She finds some hits and misses in the new restaurant, but I loved remembering the old place through her descriptions. She also lets us know that Pronto Cucinino does a pretty good job at the fast casual effort.
A few weeks ago, Robb Walsh reviewed one of the bH crew’s fave Tex Mex joints, Cyclone Anaya’s. His latest review is about the newest sushi seen-and-be-seen spot Uptown Sushi.
Mary Vuong, inspired by a new dish tried, of all places, on an airplane flight, goes off in search of Houston versions of bibimbap. This probably falls in the olds column, but do we know what happened to Dai Huynh? Is she another one for the Chron Brain Drain list?
Ken Hoffman tries Margaritaville Calypso Coconut Shrimp from the Jimmy Buffet frozen food line. Yes. The Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville frozen food line. Okay. He also tries the new unorthodox Reuben sandwich at Arby’s.
And Gracie Ochoa checks out Katy’s EinStein’s Pub.
World Class, all of it. Enjoy!!
UPDATE: Laurence’s review of Bubba’s is a good read too.
