CultureMap Houston announced that Joshua Martinez, co-owner of Goro & Gun, will bring back his food truck, The Modular, and that he already has plans to serve meals at Mangum Food Park and Liberty Station. The truck should be up and running within two weeks. Eric Sandler writes that the truck will serve a mix of menu items from Goro & Gun as well as dishes the food truck used to sell, such as the lobster risotto and roasted bone marrow. Remember when the food truck was featured on Cooking Channel's Eat St.?
The newest Hubcap Grill will be here faster than we can say, "One Greek burger with fries, please." Eater Houston reported that Ricky Craig's restaurant will open in Kemah by April. This Hubcap Grill — the third one — will be near the water, making it a relaxing place to have a craft beer and one of Craig's signature burgers. No fish or shrimp burgers at this location, however. Craig tells Eater that he will serve beef burgers, just as the downtown and Heights locations do.
Swamplot noted that the spot previously occupied by Red Lantern (917 Franklin) will become a "Creole, Cuban and Caribbean" restaurant from Arena Theatre chef Mark Latigue. One can only wonder what the menu will include at this fusion restaurant.
