New York Times: Houston is getting all the national love this week. After being called "Texas's best and most diverse food city" by Andrew Knowlton in Bon Appétit, it's getting a spotlight from none other than The Gray Lady herself.

Eater Houston: Former Eater Houston editor Amber Ambrose is now doing food segments for Fox 26, the latest of which featured Kris Bistro at the Culinary Institute LeNôtre. Writing about the segment, Eric Sandler rightfully calls the bistro a "a gourmet experience at a discount."

The Woodlands Eats: TWE visits Black Walnut Cafe, one of the most popular dining spots in The Woodlands, and finds a few nits to pick about the grilled chicken sandwich -- but not the hummingbird cake for dessert.

Patty and David Said: The best part of Houston Restaurant Weeks each year -- apart from donating to the Houston Food Bank, clearly -- is the opportunity to try new restaurants at a low price. Patty and David visited Artisans for one of their HRW meals and came away very impressed with the lobster, steak and chocolate mousse the French restaurant offered for only $35.
