    Bartender Chat: Bryan of Danton's

    This week I did what I do pretty much every other Monday evening. I went over to Danton's, winner of 2011's Best Cajun and Best Seafood restaurant awards in the Houston Press Best of Houston edition, to partake in what French poet Léon-Paul Fargue said was akin to "...kissing the sea on the lips." ...

    First Look at Katsuya by Starck

    It was a rainy, humid, otherwise uneventful night, and glitzy California import Katsuya by Starck was having its soft opening. Only, there was nothing soft about it. Not the loud shouts of "Irrashaimase!" when you entered the main dining room, not the sexily lit bar with beautiful people milling abo ... More >>

    Drinking Like Hemingway

    Making the Hemmingway Daiquiri.​It's not Ernest Hemingway's writing that influenced me. The style is still amazing, and even Hunter S. Thompson, who copied Hemingway manuscripts just to hear the rhythm of the words on his typewriter, wasn't fool enough to imitate it. I won't emulate his lege ... More >>

    Eight Alternatives to Frozen Margaritas

    Photo by Matthew WettergreenThe Volcano also offers frozen screwdrivers, which are just as tempting.​When I think "summer" in Houston, I also think "margarita." It's a natural thought progression in a city that's oppressively hot in the summer but also blessed with a plethora of great Tex-Mex ... More >>

    Stirred & Shaken: Danton's Galveston Island Tea

    Troy Fields​When you eat a fresh raw oyster, it's still alive. A month after my grandfather ate his last serving of raw oysters, he was not. Bacteria caused the fatal infection, but a weakened immune system was really to blame. Despite reminders of the health risks, he wouldn't be denied oyste ... More >>

    Hurricane Judy at Katz's Deli & Bar

    ​I think I found the most overpriced, underwhelming drink in town. Enticed by the "2 for $10" deals offered in celebration of Katz's tenth anniversary, I went there for a discounted sandwich and some onion rings. I had never taken advantage of the "bar" aspect of Katz's, but as it was its ... More >>

    Vintage Cocktails: The Mary Pickford

    1937 copy of La Florida recipe book​Last week I told you about the La Florida Bar in Havana, Cuba, "la catedral del Daiquiri." This week's drink comes from a brittle 1937 copy of that bar's recipe book, which was found at a flea market. The book is old enough that each recipe is in both Spani ... More >>

Plus you get to party with Hemingway's famous six-toed cats, and they are always good for a laugh. Keys ... More >>

    Aftermath: Keith Urban, Peculiar Superstar And Musician's Musician

    Photos by Dave Rosales​ Keith Urban is a peculiar superstar.
