Houston - 2017: The Food Enthusiast’s Complete Restaurant Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the preparation of it, the cooking of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget—the eating of it.
But Sebastian Bond is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
“Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Bond ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Sebastian Bond not to disappoint.
Bond dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

Introduction
––––––––
Did you know that Houstonians eat out more than any other Americans? It’s true, and over the past few years, they’ve had more and more to be proud about.
One of the special cuisines done so well here is Vietnamese. After the debacle that was the war in Vietnam, a lot of the Vietnamese lucky enough to get out of Saigon ended up relocating here (home of NASA’s Space Center named after President Johnson who was chiefly responsible for ramping up the war).
Because Houston is a port city, it has a wide variety of cultural influences not shared by other cities in Texas. It’s here that exotic Cajun country influences meet and mix with the endless expanses of the American Southwest—all these mixed-up cultural eddies are reflected in the food you’ll find
