If you think that deviled eggs went out of fashion in the ’70s along with meat loaf and Salisbury steak, think again, as they’re making a resurgence as an appetizer at the Brick House Tavern & Tap (12910 Northwest Fwy., 713-462-0576). An order of deviled eggs ($3.99) comes with six egg halves presented on a stainless steel platter. What makes them special are the tiny cubes of smoky bacon and jalapeños mixed into the egg yolks, mayo and mustard, which give them a nice, spicy twist. A dash of hot sauce, and you’re good to go.
