Fresh-Squeezed Juices at H-E-B

By Joanna O'Leary
Jun 13, 2012

I'm smitten with the W. Alabama H-E-B, in part because of its wide selection of Heinz products. Although I also have been admiring H-E-B's fresh-squeezed juice bar, it wasn't until last week that I actually confirmed the rainbow assortment of flavors did (at least in two cases) taste as good...

By Altamese Osborne
Jun 11, 2012

See our slideshow of photos from Wine and Food Week 2012. This past week, The Woodlands hosted its Wine and Food Week 2012, sponsored by H-E-B. Most of the events, including wine and cheese tastings, multi-course dinners and conversations with winemakers, were held in The Woodlands, with one important exception:...
Make a Gourmet Meal in Half the Time with Our Tips and Tricks

By Katharine Shilcutt
May 3, 2012

Don't call it cheating; call it a shortcut. Very few of us these days have the time or energy to make phyllo dough from scratch or even to simply chop vegetables. And if you're trying to host a nice dinner for friends or cook a good meal for your loved...
A Totally Biased Supermarket Ranking

By Sam Brown
Apr 24, 2012

Within this past week, I've had occasion to visit the supermarket four times at three different stores. While each store offers its own distinct pros and cons, I can't help imagining my own perfect, ideal supermarket experience. There would be a large, open space with smaller sections therein. There would...
Upcoming Events: Give the Planet a Hug

By Katharine Shilcutt
Apr 20, 2012

This coming Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day. That means plenty of tree-hugging food events that make you want to throw off the surly bonds of cynicism for at least one day and acknowledge that maybe you really do like Earth. And Revival Market is a good place to start...
Fast Times: Montrose H-E-B a la Carte Sushi Bar

By Christina Uticone
Dec 5, 2011

My grocery store of choice is H-E-B, and my go-to store since moving to Houston has been the Buffalo Speedway location -- a little out of the way, considering my Museum District home base, but makes sense when you factor in my Saturday-morning shopping trifecta: Urban Harvest Farmers' Market, H-E-B...
UPDATE: FotoFest Stolen Cameras

By Steve Jansen
Jul 27, 2011

The burglary remains a mystery. However, a bunch of financially underprivileged kids no longer have to scrimp by at a summer youth program. On Tuesday, FotoFest's Literacy Through Photography got the big-time hook-up from Houston Camera Exchange and H-E-B. The indie photo shop donated 36 cameras to replace those jacked...
Yoga Fuel, Lazy Yogi Edition: H-E-B Sushi and Spring Rolls

By Christina Uticone
Jun 10, 2011

Don't let my piece about fried zucchini blossoms fool you--I'm really a pretty lazy cook. My husband does most of the cooking and food shopping at our house, so when he's out of town on business I tend to do more "assembling" than "cooking" for my meals. It only takes...
Ingredient of the Week: Chickpeas

By Christine Ha
May 23, 2011

What is it? Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are part of the legume family. They are one of the oldest cultivated vegetables in existence and are mostly used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking...
Upcoming Events: The All-Texas Edition

By Katharine Shilcutt
Mar 4, 2011

The pork taquitos from Molina's that we enjoyed so much at the Rodeo's Best Bites event in late February were a refreshing change from some of the heavier entries: just tender, shredded pork wrapped in a soft corn tortilla and topped with a tangy salsa verde. They were a hit...
Ingredient of the Week: Swiss Chard

By Amber Ambrose
Feb 14, 2011

What is it? I'd heard of it, seen it at the grocery store and read about how delicious and healthy it is, but I'd never tried Swiss chard until last week, when I was looking for a leafy green to serve with dinner. It was much less bitter than I...
H-E-B Asking for Residents' Vote on New Montrose Store Design

By Katharine Shilcutt
Oct 28, 2010

It seems that H-E-B is eager to make at least a few concessions to area residents on its way to constructing a brand-new store in Montrose on the site of the late-lamented Wilshire Village. As recently as October 18, real estate website Swamplot was questioning the grocery giant's initially proposed...
Sunday Afternoon at Mi Tienda

By Katharine Shilcutt
Aug 3, 2010

Whoever said you can't spend a pleasant afternoon in South Houston hasn't been to Mi Tienda (or to Pho Binh, but that's a different blog post altogether). The Hispanic-centric concept store from H-E-B opened on Spencer Highway in 2006 and has been packing in the crowds every day since then...
Buffalo Grille Migrating; Has H-E-B Become The New Bad Guy?

By Katharine Shilcutt
Apr 7, 2010

As reported earlier this week by the West University Examiner and Swamplot, the Buffalo Grille will be leaving its longtime location at 3116 Bissonnet. The popular restaurant has been a staple in the West University community for more than 26 years, serving simple American fare and excellent breakfasts. The news...
Top 5 Grocery Store Openings of the Decade

By Katharine Shilcutt
Dec 11, 2009

Yesterday, we recounted the top five grocery store closings that had a significant impact on the Houston supermarket scene during the past 10 years. But for as much as we may (or may not) miss AppleTree or Albertson's, we've had some much better grocery stores head our way since then...
This Fall, A New H-E-B for Spring

By Katharine Shilcutt
Nov 10, 2009

Texas grocery chain H-E-B is set to open its newest Houston-area store tomorrow, November 11. The new H-E-B Spring Market on FM 2920 has taken cues from both the leviathan at Bunker Hill and I-10 and smaller, more intimate stores like the recently opened Buffalo Market. In fact, the square...
The Ultimate Oyster Cracker?

By Robb Walsh
Nov 5, 2009

My brother Dave got me hooked on these hot and spicy saltines. He says they're the perfect oyster crackers. I haven't tried them with oysters yet, but I will soon. The home version of these has been around for a long time. You mix up a package of dry ranch...
H-E-B Recalls Beef Products

By Cathy Matusow
Jul 1, 2009

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...
H-E-B Introduces My TexasLife

By Margaret Downing
Jun 30, 2009

As local grocery stores continue to fight over their share of your food dollars, H-E-B has started up My TexasLife, a monthly magazine to try to get more customers into its stores. The handsome publications (about 30 pages each and published by none other than Texas Monthly) offer bright food photographs,...
New H-E-B Store Says Go Fish

By Margaret Downing
Jan 22, 2009

The scene at the grand opening of the new H-E-B (8900 Highway 6 in Sienna Plantation in Missouri City) last night was more low key than the opening of the nearby Kroger this past weekend. There were a few red balloons tied to the wrists of kids, but no bands...
H-E-B Stores Ban Luv, Causing Severe Problems To Playas Everywhere

By Richard Connelly
Jan 16, 2009

First they came for the peanut butter, then they came for the love.Just a day after HISD banned peanut butter on its campuses, the H-E-B grocery-store chain announced it is taking off its shelves every bag of "Luvs Candy Text Messages," which sounds like someone's cutting-edge idea on how to...
