We're back with Where We're Eating.

And yes, I'm currently eating my way through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, all in the name of finding food that's actually worth those sky-high prices.

Today's newsletter offers a preview of my top rodeo bites. The full guide drops tomorrow.

Curious whether the rodeo's new (and only) sit-down restaurant is worth a reservation? Critic Bao Ong shares his take.

On a tight budget? There's a guide for that, too.

Happy rodeo season.
