Tried for a res at Golden Diner but we were too late, so we ended up at their sister restaurant Golden HOF and it worked out perfectly.

The Mini Honey Butter Pancakes were amazing. Glad they were on the smaller side because we got to try a few other things too. But their pancakes were the best.. thick, super fluffy, crisp golden edges, and warm honey butter that melts into every layer. Sweet, rich, soft, buttery, fluffy, I’m still dreaming about them 🥞✨

An omakase entirely focused on tempura. Tempura Matsui exceeded every expectation. They’re the only Michelin-starred tempura restaurant outside of Asia, and they’ve held the star for 10 straight years. 10/10 recommend.

Chili crisp egg avocado toast on @yeastco sourdough country bread 🥑🍳🌶️🍞✨

Picked up this sourdough from @yeastco and turned it into one of my fav toasts, but also ate about a quarter of the loaf on its own because it’s that good.

What you need: Sourdough bread from YeastCo, 1 avocado, 1 egg, chili crisp (found in the international/Asian aisle of most grocery stores), red pepper flakes, butter, lemon

You can get your fresh sourdough bread by pre-ordering online or visiting YeastCo at one of their weekly markets/pop-ups:

📍Urban Harvest Farmers Market
Every Sat / Pick up time: 8 – 12 PM
2752 Buffalo Speedway (River Oaks)

📍Henderson & Kane General Store
Every Wed & Sun / Pick up time: 10 – 8 PM
715 Henderson St (Old Sixth Ward)

📍Smith Street Farmers Market
1st Wed / Pick up time: 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM
500 Dallas St (Downtown)

YeastCo bakes in small batches, so pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee your loaf. They often sell out. Walk-ups are welcome while supplies last!

Yuston’s is back at @trexhouston for a limited-time pop-up (April 2–6), paying homage to Chef Justin Yu’s favorite restaurant, @houstonsrestaurants, with all the classics reimagined with his touch.

Last night was spent enjoying:
Spinach Artichoke Dip
House Smoked King Salmon
Prome Franch Dip Au Jus with Baked Potato
Wagyu Flat Iron Steak with Broccoli
Hot Fudge Sundae

Every dish hit the mark. The French Dip with soft, pillowy bread, Wagyu seared just right, and smoked salmon brightened by yuzu tartar, all thoughtfully balanced. Both the dip and dessert were memorable highlights. From first bite to last, the meal was playful, nostalgic, and flawlessly executed.

🐝✨ The bees are back! Viva Abejas returns to Toro Toro at the Four Seasons Houston now through April 22 ✨

This Bloom to Table concept celebrates the bees that make our food possible. The Viva Tiradito was fresh and citrusy, lightly touched with honey, and a really bright way to start the meal. The beef tenderloin was a standout, and so surprisingly good with honey. I never would have thought honey and beef would work this well, but it added such a nice depth of flavor. The passion fruit cream cake at the end was light and tropical, with just the right amount of sweet without feeling heavy.

The menu is designed with cocktail pairings, but I opted for mocktails and they still complemented each course beautifully with citrusy and floral notes.

A creative, honey-inspired menu that feels elevated but still approachable. Definitely worth trying while it’s here!
