• Posted Houstonist Was There: Terry Farrell Fund Firefighter's Benefit to Houstonist
  Firefighters? Check. Tons-o-booze? Check. Tasty little finger foods? Check. This, fellow Houstonians, was the simple, yet pleasurable recipe for the Firefighter’s Benefit in Seabrook on Friday night (August 14th). Houstonist was there, talking to the charmingly foul-mouthed New York firefighters pushing the great cause, dancing to the smooth sounds of the Beatles and drinking whiskey, rum, tequila, cognac and bourbon. Luckily, the night did not end with vomit, but with the close of the silent...

  Gigi’s Asian Bistro in the Galleria realized that brunch is so last season and offers $15 all-you-can-eat dim sum on Sundays and Saturdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. instead. It perks up weekend dining in Houston like an expensive underwire bra. In case you’re not familiar with dim sum, it’s the Chinese version of tapas (and if you’re not familiar with tapas, google it). Little portions of food- dumplings, spare ribs and wontons...
• Posted Yelp Eats! Restaurant Week to Houstonist
  Yelp.com, a business review site where locals can rant or rave about their favorite restaurants and hangouts, is hosting their first Yelp Eats! Restaurant Week in our fair city of Houston after successful endeavors in Chicago and L.A. The basic idea is to screw the recession and have participating restaurants offer $25 prix fixe menus for a three course meal (with choices of appetizers, entrees and desserts) for an entire week. July 20-July 26,...
