  • The Hollister Burger

    Photo by Robb WalshHollister Grill on Hollister St. at Long Point is a neighborhood diner specializing in comfort foods like meatloaf, pot roast and chicken-fried steak. Its hand-formed eight-ounce burger comes with lettuce, tomato, purple onion and pickles with mustard and mayo on the side. The fries are of the chunky, steak-cut variety. The ground beef is a little short on seasonings, and it could be crunchier with more char, but overall, it's a damn good burger. The question is: Do you put t

  • An Industrial Quesadilla with Ziploc Salsa

    Photos by Robb WalshIt was the anthropomorphic taco art that made me pull over to check out the taco truck called Industrial Tacos Snacks at the corner of Crosstimbers and Airline. I mean, look at the smile on that taco. I purchased a half-liter of Mexican Coke and a quesadilla al pastor that the proprietrix gave to me wrapped in aluminum foil without any garnishes. But when I started unwrapping it, she asked me if I wanted a plate and some onion and cilantro. When I said "yes, please," she ki

I was so overwhelmed to see all the stuff I needed in one place that I didn't even buy anything. The bulk spice racks are amazing. They have powdered chiles -- including ancho and guajillo -- at a fraction of the price I have been paying. I use these to make my own chili powder and grill rubs, and I go through

  • The New Q: Smoke-Braising

    Photo by Robb WalshThere's no reason that you have to choose between braising and barbecuing. While working on a new backyard barbecue cookbook, I discovered that the two techniques can be combined with awesome results. Start off by smoking or grilling the meat. Next, prepare a braising liquid in the kitchen and bring it to a boil. Put an oven-proof roasting pan on your grill directly over the hot part of the fire. Carefully add the hot braising liquid to the pan on the grill and return it to a

  • Homemade Hamburguesa Tortas

    Photo by Robb Walsh In this week's Cafe review, I visit Tortas El Angel and other torta shops around town looking for the perfect hamburger torta. The problem with all the ones I tried was the hamburger patty -- it was too thin. In the end, I made the best hamburger torta at home on the grill. I started with telera bread from El Bolillo. Telera makes an exceptional hamburger roll. Be sure to buy it the same day you plan to make the burgers, or keep it in the freezer -- it goes stale very quickly

Last week, a couple of truants snuck in a pair of articles after This Week In Deliciousness went to press, so even though they were tardy, go read about Spec's cheese-less Wine & Cheese festival, and make sure you send the link to Robb Walsh's article on How To Cook a Cow Head to all your vegan friends. But only if you're the kind of person who finds making your friends vomit hilarious. (We're guessing most of you.)

The interior is bright and shiny with wacky Korean graphics. I love the poster about making tofu by hand "like god intended." I ordered the $8.95 bulgogi lunch special there the other day. The lunch comes with all those little dishes of kimchee and tofu and pickles on the side, so it's a pretty good deal. But it took me a quite a while

On the way home from a Memorial Day car trip yesterday, I saw a wagon full of watermelons out on Highway 6, just before the entrance to 290, and I pulled the car over I hate to pass a well-stocked produce stand. I'm gripped by the fear that I might be missing something --like ripe mayhaws or fresh dewberries or something. And I especially hate to pass the stand from Dilorio Farms, because it's a working farm a

    Photos by Robb WalshShould you find yourself hungry while passing through Aggieland, I recommend a stopover at the original Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill on Wellborn, just south of FM 2818, for a burger basket. The restaurant buys fresh-ground 80/20 chuck and has it delivered daily from a local meat market. The kitchen crew hand-forms the patties. The standard size is half a pound, but there is also a quarter-pound version for dainty eaters. The bun is expertly toasted, and condiments are fresh. Add

The hot and spicy Vietnamese summer concoction is also known on Houston-area Vietnamese restaurant menus as "Seafood Delight" or "Summer Delight." It contains crunchy jellyfish, cucumbers, onions and greens. Other seafood might include shrimp, surimi, mussels, squid or fish balls. It's all tossed with a lime juice-and-fish sauce salad dressing made with lots of crushed chile pepper. The aroma of this dressing remin

There wasn't anything wrong with the prepared foods in the refrigerator case -- in fact, they looked fantastic. It was the prices I couldn't stomach. $13 for a King Ranch Casserole? $7 for a bag of chips, a soda and a pre-made tuna or chicken salad sandwich on regular whole wheat bread? No thanks.

    Photo by Robb WalshTo use mesquite in the grill, I usually light some charcoal briquettes and add mesquite wood after a while. But I recently saw 20-pound bags of mesquite lump charcoal on sale at HEB for 12 bucks each. Starting the fire with mesquite charcoal and then adding mesquite wood seemed like an even better idea. So I bought a bag. When I got home, I loaded up my chimney starter and got ready to grill. A couple of weeks ago, I burned the bottom of my foot when I stepped on a hot coal

  • Obscure Wine Grapes: Nuragus

    Photo by Robb WalshThe Nuragus grape is the most widely grown in Sardinia. Some experts believe that the grape was brought to the island more than 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians. It is so prolific and adaptable, it has been called pagadeppidus ("pay-debts grape"), preni tineddus ("fill-up-vats grape") and ua de is paberus ("poorman's grapes"). Overproduction has made it so cheap that few wine experts take it seriously. A friend of mine found this bottle of Argiolas S'elegas made with 100 pe

    Photo by Robb WalshWhile I was working on this week's feature story, "Not So Clear Cut," I grilled a lot of different beef cuts fajita-style and asked my friends and family what they thought. The hands-down favorite at every taste test was the short rib meat. It was also the cheapest. I bought a big package of the stuff at Costco for $3.99 a pound. I figured this would make interesting "fajita" meat, and it did. But it took some experimenting. First I sliced the meat too thick and it was too

I also thought turkey jerky was pretty adventurous. That was before I visited the store in Hong Kong City Mall called Kho Bo Houston. Kho bo means beef jerky in Vietnamese.

(It's the one that looks like a green baseball bat.) Cucuzza squash blossoms are also considered a treat in Sicilian cooking. Each female cucuzza squash blossom has to be pollinated to turn into a squash -- the problem is that the blooms only last for one night. So cucuzza growers put beehives in the squash fiel

    In Robb Walsh's recent feature story, "Not So Clear Cut," he explains how meat purveyors treat tough cuts of meat by marinating them with enzymes in commercial vacuum tumblers. But the practice has its risks, as Walsh writes: "We can thank vacuum tumbler technology for turning previously tough cuts into excellent fajitas. But as always, there's a catch. As one A&M meat scientist explained, the process of marinating beef faces the same inherent problem as grinding beef. If you start off with on

Friuli winemaker Emilio Bulfon found these ancient wine grapes accidently dotted among other varietals in one of his vineyards.

Some food writers have mistaken it for sorghum, which was imported to the New World from Africa. In fact, the plant (Chenopodium nuttalliae) is native to the Americas. It is a member of the goosefoot family and closely related to the South American grain quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa).

    Photos by Robb Walsh​As we reported previously, there is a glut of cheap lobster on the market. Last Thursday, I took advantage of the weak market by picking up three sea monsters for a dinner party. The prices at Hong Kong Supermarket in Bellaire Chinatown were $8.99 a pound for big lobsters, and $6.99 for small one-clawed lobsters. (That's a long way down from the $12.99 we usually pay in Houston.) I bought a five-pounder and two three-pounders. Eating whole lobsters gets pretty messy
