• Posted It's Raining Chocolate to Houstonist
  Ahh, three weeks into the New Year. The gyms are still over-flowing with well-intentioned resolution-focused dieters and salads are no longer the pre-game show to the entree but the actual entree. We poo-poo this annual habit! Especially when we heard that Raindrop Chocolate just got their shiny new hot chocolate machine. On a cold rainy day, a little real European hot chocolate is exactly what our resolution-less soul needed. True to the rumors, the hot...
• Posted Restaurant Review: Sasaki Sushi to Houstonist
  Pack your bags, grab your passport, check your visa. We're taking you outside the loop for a taste of Japan, folks. Houstonist, on the wise recommendation of the Fearless Critic, recently made the trek out to Westheimer and Fondren to dine at Sasaki.

Houstonist had the opportunity to sit with author/entrepreneur/foodie/publisher/world-traveller Robin Goldstein and his managing editor/foodie/marketer/public-relations-exec/S.O. Alexis Herschkowitsch. Robin has just released his Houston restaurant guide – Fearless Critic, Houston Restaurant Guide (one of the very first complete printed guides in Houston - and no, Zagat doesn't count)....
• Posted It's Baaaa-aaack! to Houstonist
  We're talkin' about the McRib, ya'll. That's right. We said "McRib." Say it loud, say it proud: we heart the McRib. Let us preface this post by saying that we rarely ever find ourselves at the MickeyD's, especially in a town that offers us so many quick, good fast food of the non-world-domination variety. However, being a sucker for processed-meat (sausage, hot dogs, spam...), we have a special place in our heart for the McRib....
