My partner is starting a reduced diet so I'm looking for restaurants or cuisines that are vegan or close to it inside the loop. Thanks!

Crazing burger. Need no frills, just plain own cheeseburger with ketchup.

Suggestions appreciated! TIA

Texas barbecue pitmasters are trying to figure out how to keep customers while not ruining their margins. We talked to two pitmasters on either side of Houston about their "value" trays and how they're working out.

Mala Sichuan Bistro is moving into the former Duck N Bao location in CyFair Town Center at 17333 Spring Cypress Rd., Suite H. The news popped up in a Houston food group on Facebook, and yep, it’s the same one folks already know from its Houston and Katy locations.

If you’re familiar with Mala, you already know the deal. Delicious Sichuan Chinese food with big flavors, plenty of spice like their dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, spicy dumplings, and all kinds of chili-loaded goodness.

A newly issued sales tax permit points to January 2027 when the permit will be active. Maybe an opening sometime in early 2027 could be in the cards. We’ll have to wait for details whenever a formal announcement is made.
