If I could take Guy Fieri out for a taste of Houston I’d do the following in this order (all on the same day…we’d have to start early):
First stop: Crispy puffy tacos at Loma Linda and Los Tios.
Second stop: Red snapper at Tampico Seafood.
Third stop: Mongolian firepot at Sichuan Cuisine.
Fourth stop: Pan-fried dumplings at San Dong Snacks.
Fifth stop: Indo-Pak dishes at Himalaya. Extra naan, please.
Sixth stop: Tofu soup at Korean Noodle House.
In the late afternoon, we’d go on a road trip to Prasek’s in Hillje for jerky and kolaches.
We’d return to Houston and finish the day with pan-grilled flounder at Jimmy Wilson’s, over to Ninfa’s on Navigation for flan and finally on to Anvil for late-night drinks.
OMG! I forgot the barbecue!
“Guy, what are you doing tomorrow?”
