Brian’s post is about the website gototell.com, which “lists restaurants that have been fined by the inspectors of the Florida Department of Hotels and Restaurants.” Browsing through the list of worst offenders, most seem [...]

A gift for the foodie, or professional chef in your life. Or maybe just someone who likes nifty design. Description from the site – “This little guy is so useful! And cute! This dinner fork stands all by itself. Most forks have been left in an unpolished & distressed state. I like it that way. [...]

Los Hermanos

Los Hermanos sits at the corner of Kirby and Florida. I’ve been driving by it for months and finally decided to stop in for lunch. It is an odd sort of restaurant. It is Dominican fare, rather than the Tex-Mex I was hoping for, and they had no menu. They also didn’t seem to have [...]

From the department of unfortunate eatery, Slashfood posts this dubious Velveeta concoction. It begins… Blend the pecans, pickle relish, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings to taste. …and includes a half pound of Velveeta. Yum!

Three Coins Restaurant

I ate at Three Coins twice this last week to check it out. It’s not terribly great. On my first visit I had a burger, which came thoroughly cooked, and slathered with mayo. My second meal was a breakfast burrito, which has the sort of flaky tortilla generally found in your low-end frozen burritos. Regardless, [...]

El Jalapeno (Updated)

Those keeping score at home (and really, why wouldn’t you be) know that I believe Tex-Mex to be the ultimate expression of food. I could dine on a diet of bean and tortilla variations for the rest of my life and never tire of it. That said, there’s plenty of so-called “Mexican” restaurants I can [...]
