Houstonist used to do a plethora of burger reviews. We've toyed with the idea of carrying that forward and giving you our "Top 10", however, that requires a commitment to try-out for a certain reality show on our part. So, well, we're half balking at the prospect. We do still enjoy getting our bacon cheeseburger on occasionally. Driving Westheimer and trying to decide what to do for lunch, we spied a Miller's Cafe we were sorta unaware of. At the end of a strip center at 6383 Westheimer sits a Miller's Cafe. Score!! Visions of bacon cheeseburger immediately danced in our heads and we whipped into the somewhat empty parking lot. more ›

Houstonist is at it again, we are rebelling hard against our very own New Year's Resolution to be healthier and perhaps a touch on the thinner side. We are going to turn into a cartoon tire spokesperson, but, hey, the sooner we hammer out a top ten list of burgers, the sooner we can, oh hell - move on to the fried chicken and chicken fried steaks. Who are we really kidding? We just have tiny, miniscule fits and starts of nutritional goodness, which are merely pawns in our chicken-fried game of food rationalization (admission is the first step, ya'll!). We found the break in the weather Saturday so invigorating that we hauled ourselves off to Lankford's for one of our beloved bacon cheeseburgers. As you can see by the photo, they make a dainty, almost delicate burger! We had to compact it with our little grubhooks before taking that first mind boggling bite. Oh yes, burger love has been elevated to a whole new level - burger lust. We have been paying the fine folks at Langford a visit for several years - so our burger lust is in full force and effect. In fact, we howled with outrage when the local news highlighted them - I mean really, now it's just more crowded! We do lust for the Lankford's - it's an itch that has to be immediately scratched, or we will just eat burgers all over town (you don't see right through our flimsy logic, do you?) in a brave attempt to quell the burger beast within. more ›

To heck with that resolution to be thinner - we are embracing our inner grease-lover, you know, the one who firmly believes that cheese is a food group and will eat cardboard if it comes covered in cream gravy. Yes, that one, the "believer in spandex britches". So, we are back on our "burger thing" and will be telling you all about good burgers, mediocre burgers and possibly bad ones (hey, if it's gross AND gucci, we will attempt to prevent you from wasting your coin). To that end, here's the first burger scoop of the year it also happens to be a "double bonus" report. Meaning, you get to have a seriously tasty burger and some tots, rings or fries, score some ice cold beer or cocktails (there is a full bar) AND bowl a few games. It's all the makings of a near perfect evening of entertainment in one convenient building located just slightly ITL (In The Loop) at Palace Lanes. more ›
