• At Least Some Houston Companies Might Not Fail, Magazine Says

  BREAKING NEWS (MUST CREDIT HAIR BALLS!!!) -- The stock market is in trouble. We'd put up some links if anyone was bothering to cover what we, at least, think is an important story.One media outlet that is covering it is Forbes magazine. They've come out with a list of five companies that it might be smart to invest in if, indeed, Obama goes all FDR and starts work projects like fixing what is always referred to as "our nation's crumbling infrastructure."Two of the five companies are right here i

• Healthy Big Macs, Only In Houston

  Photo by Chris MacGregor Why the hell is your Big Mac so small? Because you live in Houston. Houston is apparently the only US test market for McDonald's new "Snack Wrap Mac," which looks to be a  smaller Big Mac in a tortilla. We're sure grosser things have been contemplated before, but then again maybe not. Nation's Restaurant News reports that Houston and Canadian markets are the guinea pigs for this attempt at healthy eating.  This introduction marries two trends in quick se

  ​My daughter Harriet is four and is a huge Wizard of Oz fan, so I thought she would enjoy taking in the Ensemble Theater's free production of The Wiz at Miller Outdoor Theatre Saturday night. (We skipped the brutal line for covered tickets.) I had heard that showtime was 7 p.m. and since my apartment is only a few blocks from the park, we decided to make an afternoon of it. She put on her bathing suit and her sparkly red tennis shoes and we headed down to the park at about five. After an hour

• Health Department Roundup: Single-Service Edition

  Usually the Roundup shines its light on the misdeeds of full-service restaurants, but this time out we reconnoiter the single-service foodscape. These are generally not sit-down restaurants but cheaper grab-n-gos where you aren't expected to tip anyone. These establishments cannot get away with spirit-of-the-law spit polishes but must meet the same Health Department standards as so-called full-service restaurants. The winner and grand champion of code violations -- perhaps of recorded Houston

• Chef Chat: Monica Pope of t'afia

  Photo by Griff Smith​Arguably the most admired chef in Houston and probably the most lauded in the past decade, the ubiquitous Monica Pope runs t'afia restaurant (3701 Travis Street), hosts the Midtown Farmers Market every Saturday morning, presides at Beaver's, and teaches weekly classes at the Green Plum Cooking School. As this interview shows, locavore messiah Monica Pope is a chef on fire. Where did you first come across the term "t'afia?" I saw it in a Michel Bras cookbook. It's an
