Hot Plate

Scripture and a steak: Our blessings on the tasty T-bone grilled for breakfast, lunch or dinner at Heaven-N-A-Blanket [8903 Cullen, (713)733-4848]. The Reverend Ray Swanson buys whole beef loins and slices them up then marinates the steaks overnight in a hot, salty blend of "secret special spices." The slightly smaller breakfast cut is $6.99; at lunch or dinner, get the larger edition and three steam-table vegetables for $10.99. For sides, try the old-fashioned string beans jolted with pickled pepper juice, creamy mashed potatoes or cinnamony orange-glazed yams. Finish up with a cool dish of banana pudding topped with Nilla Wafers, and you'll be in heaven, too.
