ya i have been in houston for almost a year now and there is not a real famous place to eat here. In LA we had tons of landmark places to eat. Pinks Hotdogs, Felipes, Busy bee's.. etc.. You have to stand in line but its Great Food.
I have been to about 20 or so places in houston and all the food has either been below average or just bad. I don't mind going to a bad part of town for some good food.
Have you ever been there? I've not found any of the rumors to be true.There is a place on Live Oak, 3rd Ward (bad part of town) that made it to one of the cable tv shows.
. . . and you don't think it's "famous" because the food shows and local news programs don't have the budget to go around the world, and instead just nip out the back door to the local places?In LA we had tons of landmark places to eat. Pinks Hotdogs, Felipes, Busy bee's.. etc.. You have to stand in line but its Great Food.
Cookie cutter restaurants suck (even though the Pappas brothers maintain damned good ones).What kind of food do you like? Any Pappas(Pappadeaux, Pappasitos, Pappas Seafood, C&M Steakhouse) restaurant will have excellent food.

Don't let your prejudice show.
Mmmmmkay.I like the Texas Road House <snip>
You can always take a drive into the country and go to Dozier's in Fulshear. Authentic Texas meat market/BBQ place. Decent BBQ and sauces.
JB's stake House and Grill 11300 Huffmeister , Cypress. they smoke the meat up to 14 hrs with pecan wood.
Some very bad recomendations here. Larry's is bad but Harris County Smokehouse is like bad cafeteria food. You have to go with Goode Company for BBQ. As far off as TXSUT is with BBQ, he's right on with steaks. I am in The Galleria area and would add Morton's and Sullivan's to the list of great steak joints.
Must be the way they coook the meat.(Texas Land and Cattle, bleh!)
