Sorry you had a bad experience, but just driving past this place I can tell to avoid it. Strikes 1-3 are the name "Maggie Ritas" - Do they expect anyone to take them seriously? This is clearly not a p...
Wow, they've managed to either commit or incite all seven deadly sins in one tidy package. (ok, sloth is a stretch, but Houstonians regularly top that list anyway so I threw it in for free.)...
As any police officer will tell you, killing someone is RARELY the only option, and should be the last. While legally vindicated, Horn's moral victory is not so clear. Chron.com commenters are a stor...
I'm clearly not spending enough time at Wal-Mart....
It's neither too subtle nor too direct: It's too long and I doubt anyone read the whole thing. I just picture a bunch of people standing around the sign: "spitulate... spictulate... stickpulate... aw...
@monkeypanda: Hush! We don't want the hordes of Houstonist readers invading our favorite well-hidden spot!...
Miss the old deck and looking for a new deck on which to lounge? Try the OTHER former Dolce & Freddo location, now Muldoon's Bar- Augusta Drive, just north of Westheimer. A couple glasses of wine and ...
And I apologize for a rant exceeding the scale of the offense. I was (am) frustrated at still (in 2008!) not being able to find a single, consistent events calendar for the 4th biggest metropolis in t...
For the thousandth time, could y'all PLEASE post stuff like this more than a few hours in advance? Someone might actually want to attend who isn't able to a) drop everything at a moment's notice, and ...
Thanks for the notice, I'll see if I can clear my schedule 3 hours ago....
Hey you kids, get out of my driveway!! (No, I don't live here. I just wanted to play the role of cranky old man. Thank you for indulging me.)...
Hey, why NOT try this at home? I've been making my own steamed dumplings for a while. It's pretty simple if you buy the wrappers pre-made. I suggest shanghai-style wrappers, found in the freezers at e...
It's fried. What's not to like? There's something satisfyingly carnivorous about snapping the legs off of a creature with your bare hands and putting the whole thing in your mouth. A tasty softshell ...
re: Construction -- It's not ironic at all, considering that the so-called "construction" often leaves streets worse than they were before. Perfect example, San Felipe west of Post Oak. I'm surprised ...
Don't let being "on the wrong side of 30" stop you from owning & wearing something other than sandals & jeans. There are many fine stores in town that won't check your ID while ringing up your purchas...
Well, now I'm going to have to take this whole rating system with a grain of salt (on the rim, of course). I'll grant that ambiance is important, but you've allowed it to count for more than the drink...
Pico's Mex-Mex...
Needed more notice! :(...
Cuervo: More importantly, why are you screaming? MJ: Good on ya for getting the buffalo burger. There are good burgers all over town, but I don't know of better tatonka....
If we're recommending other Thai places, I vote for Thai Gourmet, on Richmond near Greenridge. Don't miss the duckling (oh duck, how I love thee) and the garlic okra....
