A Comprehensive Guide to Houston's Food Blogs

Page 3 of 6

Dude, You Gonna Eat That?: Dr. Ricky to his friends, Richard Sucgang has a Ph.D in microbiology and a passion for seeking out authentic and unusual ethnic food as well as debunking food myths and bringing a scientific eye to the art of fine dining.

Eat Local or Die: The occasionlly updated blog of Jonathan Jones, the head chef at Beaver's, who preaches from a locavore's pulpit about the merits of fresh seafood, meat and produce.

Feed the Heights: No longer updated on a regular basis, this blog from Theo Shu is still a great resource for reading about Heights-area restaurants as well as discovering new favorites.

Feeding Curiosity: Yet another local chef's blog, this one from Bootsie's owner and executive chef Randy Rucker. Rucker uses the blog to discuss upcoming menus and special events as well as ruminate on food trends and the locavore lifestyle.

The Ferm: A beer (and, occasionally, food) blog from Sir Ron, who is currently engaged in a battle of the wits with our own Shameless Chef, John Gray.

Flavour Boulevard: While most Houston food blogs focus only on restaurants inside the Loop, Flavour Boulevard also reviews plenty of places far OTL: Berkeley. Yes, as in California. Contrasts between Houston and Berkeley are wide-ranging, but looking at the differences in the cuisines between the two cities is particularly interesting.

Food In Houston: Around since 2005, Robert's blog is arguably the best food blog in Houston. It's clean, concise, diverse, well-written and well-reasoned. Sadly, Robert only blogs once in a blue moon these days due to work and family committments, but his blog will always be my favorite, no matter who or what else comes along.

Food Princess: Joanne primarily writes for 29-95 now, so her personal food blog is dormant these days. Nevertheless, it's still fun to look back at previous trips she's taken and blogged along the way.

Foodie Houston: Not to be confused with Houston Foodie, this blog is written by food P.R. maven Jodie Eisenhardt. And even though she's in P.R., she doesn't exclusively cover her clients: she's just out there in search of a good meal.

Fork and Cork: The second food blog from the Houston Chronicle, Fork and Cork is a catch-all for the paper's other food writing, from Ken Hoffman's fast food reviews and that old chestnut, Whine & Dine, to food editor Greg Morago's interviews with local chefs and spotlights on local trends.

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
