If it\u2019s crawfish season, Addie and Lexie are always up for that, and Robin and I are loyal to <a href=\"https:\/\/bayoucityseafood.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bayou City Seafood &amp; Pasta<\/a>. In fact, Robin and I got engaged at the original location over boiled crawfish. I attended culinary school in France and worked weekends and nights at restaurants in Paris and the South of France, so we have a soft spot for Philippe Verpiand\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/etoilecuisine.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Etoile<\/a>, especially for our anniversary and birthdays. I most often order the escargot and sole. We enjoy sushi early in the week and often stop into\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ginzahouston.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ginza<\/a>, which is a little neighborhood place, but for special occasions, we\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.katarobata.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kata Robata<\/a> fans.\u00a0And you can\u2019t live in Houston without getting a Tex-Mex fix regularly. We have two good ones in our neighborhood: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sylviasenchiladas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sylvia\u2019s<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escalantes.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Escalante\u2019s<\/a>. I get the chicken caldo if I\u2019m being good, but Sylvia\u2019s has the best carne asada in town, in my opinion. Robin and I both love the grilled fish and shrimp tacos at Escalante\u2019s. When the girls are in town, we always hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eltiempocantina.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">El Tiempo<\/a> for combo fajitas and margaritas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We truly enjoy dinner out with friends and try a lot of restaurants, old and new, but it\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[143913,143912,49,56,58,57],"class_list":["post-412386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-best-day-ever","tag-brennans","tag-food","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
