Where I Go Out
Southern fried chicken
$$, Bbq, Independence Heights
"The fried chicken here reminds us of the fried chicken we ate as kids. It's crispy with lots of fried goodness."
Porchetta e fagioli
$$, Italian, Southwest Houston
"Slow-roasted Berkshire pork butt is aggressively seasoned with fennel, rosemary, garlic, and pepper, all served over cannellini beans. It tastes like being on vacation in Italy."
Mom’s Masala
$$$$, Indian, Sharpstown
"This reminds me of the curry James and I used to get in England."
Rosemary buns
$$, Café, Indian, Reservations, Full Bar, Breakfast, Midtown
"Make sure to order them with a side of ghee, or clarified butter. These yeasty buns are seasoned with rosemary, and dipped in melted, buttery goodness... yum."
