Theodore Rex, 1302 Nance, is bringing back its beloved pop-up Yuston’s, a riff on the classic restaurant Houston’s, on Sunday, April 14. The spoof takes the nostalgic classics of Houston’s and gives ‘em a T-Rex twist—think spinach artichoke dip hit with Roquefort blue cheese fondue and French dip stuffed with prime rib and horseradish served with mushroom jus, and tempura fried chicken tenders with “too many dipping sauces.” Book your spot via Resy from 5 to 10 p.m.
