Houston
Houston has long been known as one of the best foodie cities in the United States. But recently, the rest of the nation and the rest of the world have begun to pay attention.
Any Houston resident will have strong feelings on where to eat the best Tex-Mex food, which is a staple of the city's cuisine. However, most people concur that a good place to start is The Original Ninfa's on Navigation. Try the posh Hugo's or the M & M Grill for fajitas and burritos made with halal meats if you're exploring the Museum District and the Houston Zoo. Pappasito's Cantina, where Beyoncé has been spotted, is another option.
This city is full of BBQ joints serving everything from baby back ribs slathered in sauce to tender brisket that has been slowly roasted. Locals and experts agree that Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack, Ronnie Killen's Killen's Texas Barbecue, Gatlin's BBQ, and The Pit Room are some of the best places to eat. Ronnie Killen also owns Killen's STQ, a restaurant that combines a steakhouse and a barbeque joint.
The diverse population of Houston gives the city's restaurant scene a wide range of flavors. Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine offers lamb kabobs and grape leaves; Brennan's of Houston serves Creole food; one of the two Izakaya Wa locations has sushi and sake, and Aria Suya Kitchen serves Nigerian food.
