I am really happy to see a video on how great the Houston dining scene really is. I read several articles in national magazines that stated that regarding new and innovative food dishes by restaurant chefs are tops in Los Angeles followed by Houston and stated that the restaurant leading the pack was Nancy’s Hustle. Pitching ace, Justin Verlander, said that one of his and his wife’s favorite restaurants in Houston was that same restaurant-Nancy’s Hustle. A lot of what the Houston dining scene is all about is the ethnic diversity of the city which is second on the NYC or maybe tied with it. With ethnic diversity comes small and medium size restaurants that grow into larger restaurants in some instances or stay small which is the owner/chef’s desire. There is no doubt that Houston has more steakhouses that any other city in the US. I can remember in the 1950s when there was only ONE steakhouse that served PRIME steaks-Brenner’s Steakhouse on I-10 West. Mr and Mrs. Brenner open that restaurant in the 1930s and they have been cooking the best steaks ever since. Now there are two Brenner’s in the City. Today, Brenner’s is joined by more steakhouses than you can ‘shake a stick at’ as the old saying goes. And that’s great, but it’s the small restaurants, and I just read the past week that Houston has 10,000+ restaurants, and the medium size restaurants that serve excellent ethnic-based food that makes Houston’s restaurant scene so fantastic. Virtually every country in the world is represented in Houston and there’s a restaurant or 10 that matches those countries somewhere in the city. Because of the breadth of Houston Metro area, all 10,062 square miles of it, and the lack of zoning, there is almost one restaurant per every square mile in Houston. Of course that ranges from a hotdog from a food cart to a fine restaurant where the meal can run $250.00 or more and the bottle of wine can cost the diner $15,000.00 or more if you are in the right restaurant. I’ll never forget that my wife and I were treated to a wonderful meal at a superb restaurant in an Uptown-area hotel in the mid-1980s. I did not see the tab he wrote off but I know that the entrée was $300.00 for both of us and the bottles of Chateau Margaux was $350 per bottle and we drank two of them. And these prices were 1980s prices not 2023.

I have never heard of any of these places!! Cmon Houston

Very Kool, yum

I like seeing Restaurants

Paparruchos is the Spot. Restaurant, bar, club. All in one place. And the food, best fajitas in town🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟trust me👍🏼👍🏼

Wow, so good, hank you......

You had my ear until you said pondicheri. Including such a mid in a city that is the virtual epicenter of south Asian dining is downright embarrassing. Makes one think the entire list is self promotion by industry insiders.

In the likely Mexican food capital of the world, you can't pick a Mexican restaurant? I suggest you REALLY eat the food of Houston, Texas, then remake your list...

None of these are all that they went with what is fancy and over priced...definitely hitting that👎🏽
