Each week, I take a look at the food writing scene in Houston…and give my opinion on it.

Syd Kearney was one of many to report on the big El Rey/El Real flub by Esquire. The magazine meant El Real, but it does beg the question…which place is better, El Rey or El Real? I was only at El Real in the beginning, but I’d say it’s a tie.

You will need to look long and far to find a better food post than this one. Anamaris Cousins Price nails it with her take on how to prepare clams and mussels. It’s pure genius—smart, funny, creative, and informative. Many kudos for an amazing post!

Of the last 10 posts from Eating Our Words, three are Top 5’s.  I think that’s like 30%.

Back to Syd…nice list. If I were still in Houston, I’d partake in some of these.

I wish The Ferm would write a little more often.  Hell, I’ve begged him to write for this blog.  Instead, we must settle on once-a-month posts that include this horse shit.

Hey Anamaris, I found a great recipe for your mussels.

Meatballs...an appetizer staple!

Speaking of recipes, this is a good reference article for the upcoming holidays.  With folks coming over, it’s always important to have a few appetizer recipes in the arsenal.
