Month: September 2022

Houston has many different cultures and therefore cuisines from those cultures. I’m almost always up for trying food from some country or culture. Is there some restaurant nestled in some corner of the city celebrating a culture of food that you don’t think most people have experienced? List it!

if we don’t know about a culture, we don’t know to go searching for it. For example, I heard about jollof rice because of an episode of Ted Lasso. So I went out looking for it. There’s a few restaurants that have it. Seems to be mostly Nigerian restaurants that I’ve found, but I would love to find a Ghanaian restaurant to compare, not to mention a Senegalese.

At one time, I think I heard of a Bosnian restaurant but I have no idea if it is still there. So what are some other cultures of food besides the usual ones to be experienced?

It seems like I have to go to multiple places to get the stuff I want. HEB is a hit or miss when they have clams and they don’t have branzino. Ranch 99 sometimes has clams but half of them are dead when I bring them home but they do have branzino. Hmart has clams but they don’t always have branzino. Kroger doesn’t have clams and their seafood doesn’t look that great. Sprouts doesn’t have whole fish that I’ve seen. Is there one seafood market close to the Heights area that has both fresh clams and branzino?
