Say what you will about the woes of Houston, Dallasites, I believe that our fellow Texans to the south and east of us have us beat in the culinary arts division by a long shot. Whether it's bistro dining at the Black Walnut Cafe, Mexican-grill fare at the Red Onion, or decadent desserts at The Chocolate Bar, Houstonians host superior dining options. And for steak, Taste of Texas, is a hands-down winner.
Grandma and Grandpa volunteered to babysit the kiddos on Saturday night, so Debby, Jeff, Jon, and I could go on a double-date to Taste of Texas. We arrived early--5:00--and still waited over an hour for a table. The complimentary drinks, quiche, cheese, crackers, chips, salsa, and popcorn (random) and
no fussing, fighting, and fidgeting children to contend with quickly passed the time.
Soon enough "91" flashed on the screens, and as we entered the restaurant, the smell of meat permeated the air, rousing the carnivore within me. Our waiter, Johnston, became a friend in a few short minutes. We all picked our steaks; the boys added seafood to theirs. The salad and bread bar that my Mom had raved about lived up her accolades. Then the sizzling, juicy stars of the show arrived, bubbling in all their lemon pepper and herb-ed butter glory.
Best.Steak.Ever. So tender. Perfectly grilled. Delicious!
We couldn't leave without celebrating Jeff's upcoming birthday! The Snickers cheesecake was pretty amazing, too.
If you're not a vegetarian, pollo-vegetarian, or vegan and find yourself in Houston, do your taste buds a favor and experience delicious steak dinner at Taste of Texas.
