Caracol
Caracol 220 Post Oak Blvd Houston, TX 77056 caracol.net Yelp I was thoroughly impressed with Hugo’s simple, yet refined Mexican cuisine. The food was so well executed and nothing too over the top. I don’t think Houstonians or even Texans would fare well with anything that was in the style of Alinea or Eleven…
Liberty Kitchen & Oyster Bar
Liberty Kitchen & Oyster Bar 1050 Studewood St Houston, TX 77008 libertykitchenoysterbar.com Yelp It’s amazing how looks can be deceiving.

Yu Chun Bunsik
Yuchun Bunsik 10031 Garden Grove Blvd. Garden Grove, CA 92844 yuchun.site.mobi/en Yelp I wasn’t much of a foodie back in college. Probably because any meal over $10 was kind of a lot of money back then. I didn’t really seek out the best of the best as I do now. I think I was just…
Mala Sichuan Bistro
Mala Sichuan Bistro 9348 Bellaire Blvd. Houston, TX 77036 Yelp BHD doesn’t really like spicy food. What a wuss! Just kidding. No, not really.

Sushi Zo
Sushi Zo 9824 National Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90034 sushizo.us Yelp Boy have I been wanting to try out Sushi Zo for a long time. It has been on my radar ever since I started to appreciate really high quality sushi, and when I became willing to drop a couple hundies on one meal. Sushi…

Lazy Bear
Lazy Bear 3416 19th St San Francisco, CA 94110 lazybearsf.com Yelp There are very few times I hand over the reigns to food planning. Most people are not interested in dedicating the time to figure out what’s good to eat. Triple F is not that person. She keeps her ear to the ground. She subscribes…
