If you’re planning an Easter brunch with Southern flair, TRIBUTE at The Houstonian delivers. Chef Jeff Boudreaux’s take on a springtime Benedict pairs poached eggs with andouille, a crisp crab cake and a silky crawfish hollandaise — a nod to coastal Louisiana and the chef’s Morgan City roots. For an elegant main, the Colorado lamb features smoked loin and double-cut chops grilled over post oak, served with sweet pea purée, pea tendrils and a potato pavé for a harmonious, seasonal plate.
Passover and spring sweets

Kenny & Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen is offering Passover-friendly treats available for pickup. Try the carrot soufflé — a light puree of carrot with honey, vanilla, English butter and a pinch of cinnamon — or the macaroon cheesecake, a New York-style cheesecake on a coconut macaroon base. These items were available March 31 and April 1 at the deli case.
