Save the date! Our favorite event of the year, the annual
Houston Press Menu of Menus® Extravaganza, is back for its 14th year on Tuesday, April 5. But you can
get your tickets NOW (General Admission Tickets: $45-$60; VIP Admission Tickets: $85-$120). This year features an all-new Iron Fork competition with a new emcee and a new set of competitors, all alongside an excellent roster of savory bites, sweet nibbles and tasty wine, beer and cocktail samples from restaurants and retailers from all over the Houston area.

Jerry Built Homegrown Burgers, in West University at 3501 West Holcombe and in The Woodlands at 1335 Lake Woodlands, will be offering the Outlaw Burger ($10), available on Monday, February 15 and throughout the Rodeo season. The beef bomb features 100 percent all-natural Angus, succulent pulled pork, battered-fried bacon, ghost pepper jack cheese, smoky barbecue sauce, mayo, lettuce, pickles and onions. For those looking for something a little lighter, Jerry Built will also offer a roasted corn, black bean and barbecue chicken salad ($10) with housemade barbecue ranch throughout the season.
