New on my newsletter: bad dishes don’t hit the way they used to when my employers were paying the tab. My night at Osteria di Mercato.

Waffles and fried chicken aren’t really my thing. Unless they’re buttermilk-vanilla waffles at @viola_agnes_cafe , with @chefaarondavis ‘ extraordinary fried chicken. Oh, don’t forget the shrimp-and crawfish pistolettes, cher.

Thinking enviously of the folks who showed up @angiespizzapies at 5 just now and grabbed a counter seat. Missed the Margherita when I went, but my friend Misha was kind enough to send along his pic the night after.

New on my newsletter: I bow down to the umami vortex that is the Black Gold pie at the new @angiespizzapies , on W 11th in the Heights. Link in profile 👹

New on my newsletter: it's Burger Friday, and I've found a new favorite affordable cheeseburger at the scrappy little @narwhaljoustingclub in Rice Military. It's umami squared. Link in bio.

New on my newsletter: from the stupendous sag paneer to the pillowy onion kulcha, Khyber North Indian Grill serves my kind of comfort food. Read about this Houston classic via the link in my bio.

New on my newsletter: @coastalbakeshop is a new gem in Pasadena that's a boon for residents of the east side and the Bay Area. Serious laminated pastries and naturally leavened loaves made with organic flours from Texas' @bartonspringsmill. Link in my bio.
