A Traveling Foodie’s Review
Come along on my adventures from where I eat to where I travel to. Don’t be afraid to try new places it’s a big world out there! Send me your suggestions on where I should visit.
Goode Company Seafood
Tonight we tried a new restaurant we had never been too. We love the Goode Company BBQ places around town, but have never eaten at the seafood location. I must say for a Tuesday night this place was packed! The restaurant had a nice flow about it, but with so many...
Orleans Seafood Kitchen
As a play on the New Orleans's vibe, this restaurant is headed in the right direction. When you walk in, you grab a menu and step up to the counter to order. You're then given a buzzer and seat yourself. If you ordered a drink, they give you a ticket to take...
Fish City Grill
A great little find in Katy is Fish City Grill. They currently have 4 locations in Houston and while I have not been to any of the other ones the Katy location is a gem. When it comes to seafood it’s good or it’s bad there really isn’t any ehh. I constantly seem them...
Reef
I watch a lot of cooking shows and was excited to see one of the contestants had a restaurant in Houston and knew I had to try it out. Chef Bryan Caswell from Next Iron Chef owns Reef and Stella Sola in Houston. I’ve heard fantastic things about Stella Sola and mixed...
McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant (Town and Country Location)
It’s been a long time since we’ve eaten at McCormick and Schmick’s. They recently opened up a new location in Town and Country which is a lot closer to us then their other locations. D found a gift card on www.plasticjungle.com at a pretty good discount so we gave...
Frank’s Chop House
I’ve always heard good things in regards to Frank’s Chop House so we decided to try it out after getting a discount via an online program. The feel walking in was business casual of course we where there for an early dinner and I’m sure it could be dressier later in...
Ruby Tequela’s
We tried out a new place with some friends that had been here before. Ruby Tequela's has several locations in Houston, Lubbock and Amarillo. Walking into the restaurant had a very open feel and lots of seating. The waitstaff is nice and there's plenty of them around...
Palma de Cera
We purchased a discounted gift certificate ($15 gift card for $7) from idine deals and chose the restaurant Palma de Cera. They specialize in Latin Cuisine yet offer a wide variety of food. The portions where large and their food is very tender and flavorful.D ordered...
Laurenzo’s
Tonight we went to dinner at Laurenzo's on Washington. Apparently it used to be Laurenzo's Sports Bar, but now they have converted it into a casual yet business atmosphere. I wore a sundress and D had a polo shirt and shorts on. The feel is a little more upscale yet...
Catfish Mike’s – CLOSED
Catfish Mike's is a new little gem that opened in Katy. I had a coupon for buy one entree get one free so we gave it a try at lunch. To give it all a try we both ordered the Catfish and Shrimp Basket for $10.95 which had 2 catfish fillets and 6 shrimp. The first thing...
Destin, FL – Day 8
Today we got up and made breakfast for the last time before packing up the truck for our long 9 hour drive back home. Despite all the issues we had with the condo we actually had a really good time. I wish the water would have been a little clearer, but who can...
Destin, FL – Day 7
Another large mass of green algae this morning. :(By lunch time D was able to take the rest of the day off so we tried to enjoy our last day out in the sun. That didn't last too long as we where chased in by some angry looking dark clouds, thunder and lightening. We...
