We Pick the Most Iconic Houston Foods


Listen Later

Houston’s award-winning food scene features a ton of great dishes, but picking one is hard! So, today we’re drafting our ultimate Houston food plate with host Raheel Ramzanali, producer Carlignon Jones, Hey Houston newsletter editor Brooke Lewis, and executive producer Laura Isensee. This draft is a full-on battle where each person will draft an appetizer, two sides, an entree, and a dessert from any Houston restaurant. 

Restaurants we talked about today: 

  • Why Are So Many Top-Rated Restaurants Closing in Houston?
  • Lucille’s 
  • Ninfa’s 
  • Brennan’s Houston 
  • Taste Kitchen + Bar 
  • Cake Station Express 
  • House of Pies 
  • Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen 
  • Perry’s Steakhouse 
  • Davanti Ristorante 
  • Pizzeria Solario 
  • CasaEma
  • Schulze’s Bar-B-Q and Catering
