I'm always trying new stuff whether its a new store, restaurant, service, book, vacation spot, website etc and I like to write/rave on it. I'm also random and go on random rants about things that i think are funny, annoying, or that excite me. Welcome to my collection of random thoughts :)

August reviews

Boy did i do alot in the month of August.  I got lots to review on.  from restaurants,bars to movies, stores to hotels and spas.... it was a fun month.  since i have so much to review on i'll try and point out the important details.  This blog is for the restaurants i visited.  I'll write about the other new things later....

Restaurants

Goode co bbq (rice)
not a fan!  they put apples in their beans which i am not a fan of sweet beans  gross.... the jalepeno cornbread was about the only thing i enjoyed.  their barbeque sauve tasted like a weird spiced marinara.  boo!


Pie in the sky (heights)
this place was down right adorable.  I got there right as breakfast ended but was able to have lunch.  their sandwiches are huge and they have awesome sweet potatoe fries.  At the front is a pie tasting station where they have small versions of all their pies for you to taste so you can order a slice or a whole pie to go/for a gift.  We really enjoyed the ones we tried and i'll probably order some small ones for Christmas gifts.  its a small mom and pop place with couples, families, old couples, gay couples, the whole nine years in there.  very cute.  i want to check breakfast out soon!

Harrys (midtown)
Harry's has been on my list of places to try out for brunch for quite some time.  One day my boyfriend and i were talking about restaurants in houston that had been opened for years and years and we were trying to think of some as we noticed lots of new places constantly popping up.  that night in the Houston press was an article about Harry's and how its been around for years, bought out but always maintained some of the orginal dishes.  breakfast is served all day and they commented on how there were always really old men telling war stories there and business men and that the churassco breakfast was awesome.  Well the next day we went.... and everything written was 100% right.  the Churrasco plate was amazing.  check it out

Restaurants ( New Orleans)
Abita brew pub
Cute place... the original brewhouse with lots of Lousianna beer.  unfortunately i'm not a beer drinker, but their crawfish cakes and salad and burgers were awesome.  the little town of covington where it is is so cute and it was right next to a huge outdoor pavilion.  very cute!

Cafe de monde
I had been to the one in the city but the one in covington was just as good.  how can you not like beignets?

Bear's
my boyfriend was telling me how good these poboys were since the day i met him... and OH MY was he right.  I had a shrimp poboy and more shrimp than you can imagine.  i tried his too which he wasnt lying... it was AMAZING.....

Domenica
This is on eof John Besh's restaurants in the city.  It was awesome.  In addition to their awesome pizza they offer small and large portions of their apps and plates which means you can try a little of everything if you want!

Sucre
OMG delicious.  If you like sugar... this is heaven!  From gelato, to any kind of cake or pastry or dessert to chocolate and truffles as well as chocolate drinks with liquor.  wowza's.  I WAS IN LOVE.  the place was adorable, but even if it was a dump.. the food spoke for itself

Broken egg
This is a cute little place that reminds me of a grandma's house.  its quaint and is supposed to be like home cooking.  I thought it was ok.  the portions were huge!  a bit overpriced.  i'd rather eat harry's breakfast!
