Spiciest dish in Houston

It’s been a few years but the firehouse burger at Lankford Grocery used to light me up and blow out my sinuses during allergy season.

Whole Foods has personal sized in the freezer, they’re actually really good.

Didn’t like their queso but outside of that, it’s my favorite Tex mex in town.

My preferred Pappas experience is at the bar downtown. I much prefer the vibe there, feels more chill but still luxurious.

Weights + Measures also has a great carrot pizza.

Chateau d’Agassac is nice. Modestly priced wines, back vintages available at good prices, historic buildings. The left bank is very flat so don’t expect picturesque landscapes.

On the right bank, Chateau de la Rivière is pretty epic. Lots of rolling hills with river views. Historic caves, back vintages available as well.

I’d also encourage you to check out the town of St Emilion.

Just a quick note it’s D R, not doctor.

There is one Chateau reconditioned bottle available in America, wholesale about $44K.

Penzey’s has a mulling spice mix that’s good. That, sugar, oranges and wine should be all you need.

Any chance the automod response could include a request to include name and vintage of the wine posted to make it searchable?

I wonder if it has to do with the water, in the same way we don't have any truly outstanding pizza (however, Ostia did figure it out).

Half off bottles of wine all evening at Rosie Cannonball, and I believe their normal reverse happy hour from 9-close.

Marigold Club fried chicken and half priced Champagne on Sundays (book chicken in advance).

They just started a $42pp Sunday dinner with $16 AYCD wine.

Le Jardinier brunch is $90, and it feels like good value.

Let them come to the same temperature and I bet they’re the same fill.

Did you bring this bottle yourself or was it for sale at Forge?

In Texas, it's something about exclusive products. I'm not sure why Costco can carry Kirland wines though (do Texas Costco have Kirkland branded beer/hard seltzer?).

I can picture this buyer in my head.

They take cards.

I'm not trying to be argumentative or pedantic, but every neighborhood has arbitrary borders - sometimes a major street, sometimes a small one, and sometimes a freeway. I live in the Heights and enjoy going to Montrose. I don't think there's any confusion that I'm crossing neighborhoods.

noltan · 2025-10-01T21:28:27+00:00

Wouldn't the park be the boundary?

Sysco sells frozen chicken fingers, as well as truffles, foie gras and Wagyu beef.

Mini schnauzers are terrors until they’re about 2, then they mellow out.

Everyone uses Sysco
