Houston, Texas

in august i took a trip for a few days to houston to visit some relatives. as usual travel means lost of eating

chocolate bar- my sister also came from new york to see our family. the day she arrived was her birthday so we took her to get some chocolate cake. we tried a few of the different cakes and pies and they were all very good. perfect with a tall glass of milk



muffaletta- this sandwhich originated in new orleans. the name refers to the sicilian bread used to make the sandwich. in the sandwich is a marinated olive salad, capicola, salami, mortadella, emmentaler and provolone. it was good but after awhile i couldn't eat anymore.

the breakfast klub- this was a great breakfast soul food place. this place seemed family owned so the service was impeccable. they treated us like we were part of the family. i had the chicken and waffles. The waffle was nice and fluffy and the fried chicken was not too greasy. i definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Spec's- basically bevmo on steroids. would come back to houston just so i could look around this place for a few hours. as my uncle said- disneyland for adults

lankford grocery- don't let the name fool you. this is in no way a grocery. it is a small whole in the wall burger joint, the kind you would see on diners, drive-ins and dives (and it was on there). it's not the cleanest or healthiest place, but it was damn good. you can top your burger with everything from grilled onions to a fried egg. i would also recommend this to anyone visiting houston.
