How Mo Amer likes to spend his best day ever in Houston

Houston's Mo Amer has starred in and co-created his own Netflix comedy series, "Mo," whose second and final season recently dropped.

Many in his position would have decamped to Los Angeles by now, but the Palestinian American comedian and actor knows where home is.

Amer, who moved from Kuwait to Alief with his family during the first Gulf War, doesn't understand why other famous natives would ever want to leave. He loves the city's diversity. He really loves the city's food.

Here's a sneak peek into his best day in Houston:

• Breakfast tacos
• Zaatar pies
• Golfing
