Is it really that good in Houston? Every couple of years the caste I was born in has a family reunion in a different city one of those cities was in Houston(I couldn't go but my dad and stepmother did). They never said anything one way another about the food but I figured they had it at that city because there's a huge Indian population?


That being said I was going to make an Ime Udoka joke and relate it to strip clubs(apparently they're well known for their women and this is the last place Ime should coach outside of Atlanta).

I’m not good at rating food so I don’t know how good it is but there is a lot of variety. There are chaat houses where the employees barely speak English and make more authentic food. There are Indian fusion + bars, etc.

Downtown Houston is pretty cool. Near the convention center. There are some nice places to eat and drink.

I initially thought this post was about Ime Udoka, but then I realized it was probably about the Astros. It could also have been about Danuel House.

I was there for a like a week on business some years back and thought it was a boring city. Definitely didnt feel like a destination city to visit on vacation.

My favorite thing there was a 24/hour cafe chain that was serving up all the southern favorites like gumbo, shrimp n grits and chicken n waffles... I was in late night food heaven

What is the cafe name?

How is it the fourth largest city in the US if there is nothing to do there? Everyone is telling me it’s not something someone from LA would be impressed by.

I thought its rep was that of a great and diverse food place. Had a cancelled trip to a conference but was looking forward to going there prepandemic.

Stay hydrated, the humidity is similar to Singapore. Hope you were able to get those VIP tix. Safe travels.
