| Last night during dinner at Golfstrommen, the seafood spot in downtown's Post Market, discussion turned to amazing food in unlikely places. My boyfriend, whose dining habits trend toward steakhouses and fine dining, was impressed by the artful seafood dishes coming out of a tiny kitchen just a few steps from a burger joint and a Delta-8 vendor. To me, in a way, that's always been the story of the Houston food scene. Greatness is everywhere, you just have to find it — and keep an open mind. (Reading the Houston Chronicle's coverage helps.) In my job I get to experience daily discovery and delight. This week it was reading stories like columnist Bao Ong's report on a restaurant opening in Kemah that will merge Thai food with Native American cuisine. Or writer John-Henry Perera's dispatch from Huntsville, where he visited the state's oldest coffee shop that recently reopened with a $6 million global artifact museum attached. Meanwhile, Alison Cook found a brand-new Italian spot closer to home, which she says "still feels a little bit like a secret," tucked away in the back of the East End's Tlacquepaque Market. I can't wait to taste them all. |
