Okay, okay, we know, you don't need to remind us (we are sensitive about our largesse), we're in shape - round, round is technically a shape. We cannot help ourselves at all, will power schmill power, who needs it? There is one perfect food, a luscious bundling of all of the food groups. The burger, the tasty, juicy cheesy with bacon and all of the veggies and a schmear of mustard and a double-schmear of mayonnaise burger with some kind of side.

Never fear, Bubba's Texas Burger Shack may not have the room for a fryer (and one of those countertop units like you can buy at the whatevahmart would never keep up) but do not let that deter you. Located under the new Westpark Tollway, whose construction they survived by the skin of their teeth, in a smallish and very eclectic shack is the home of the best buffalo burger we have ever wrapped our lips around. We have wrapped our lips around a lot of, well, burgers.

Let's face it: If you're not cooking on Thanksgiving Day, there's not a whole lot to do (except, of course, when you're eating).

Start Thanksgiving Day with three parades: the H-E-B Holiday Parade from downtown Houston, the Macy's parade from New York and the WLS Thanksgiving Day Parade from Chicago. The main...

Another star is born in Houston: this time, it’s a frozen food prep-er. Over the weekend, The Food Network taped an episode of “The Secret Life Of..." at A Freezable Feast, a local business that allows customers to prepare multiple meals, then package and freeze them to cook at a later date.

For those who buy your wine at the local chain grocery store – not all Australian wines have a kangaroo on the label. Central Market is kicking off The Grand Wine and Food Affair with an "Aussie Wine Walkabout" Wednesday night, which will feature presentations on wine making, along with sampling of 20 different Australian wines. The Grand Ambassador of the event is Sara Moulton (you Food Network addicts, and you know who you...

One of the world's potentially worst jobs is about to get amazingly better — well, relatively amazingly, anyway: Effective Sunday, Texas jurors will have their first pay raise since 1954. The pay will be $40 a day, up from the current $6 — it's not going to pay your bills (unless you're a serial jurist), but it'll at least cover parking and lunch.

Houstonist is preparing to lose ourselves in a sea of turkey, cranberry sauce, yams and pumpkin pie. But before we do, here's a look at some of today's non-football TV highlights:
