The Waffle Bus

Last month my little family and I went to the Houston Children's Museum (post on that coming soon).  After running around all morning we decided to give another food truck a try and drove on over to the Urban Outfitters in Rice Village in Houston.  I've noticed that the Urban Outfitters in Houston is always hosting a food truck and that Sunday afternoon it was The Waffle Bus.  Inside the "bus" the staff is preparing all kinds of goodness inside waffles or waffle fries.  The guy to took my order was really awesomely friendly.  It may have been because I still had my face painted like a cat from the museum and totally forgot, but I really think they are just a good staff!
My husband and I ordered the classic combo of chicken and waffles with their special sauce (which is like a spicy mayo).  I noticed as I waited for my food that they were doing everything fresh on the spot.  The chicken is buttermilk battered and fried there on the the bus.  Even noticed they were checking on the chicken's internal temperature to make sure it was cooked all the way through.  The chicken for me and my husband was the star of the show.  It was quite tasty and very moist. 
My daughters shared an order of their Cheeseburger and Chicken Fryders, which are little slider type burgers that use waffle fries instead of buns.  My husband and I got to taste at least one of each kind of Fryders since the kids didn't finish them all.  The burger was quite tasty.  Can't go wrong with beef, cheese and fries! We did notice the actual fries have a little kick to them, which my family enjoyed.
We hope to go back and give their sweet sandwiches a try, they looked delicious.

Bakkhus Taverna Greek Resturant and Bar

Yummy Hummus

Here is one of my personal local favorites.  When my husband asks where I would like to go for my birthday or our rare date nights, THIS is the usually always my first choice.
Bakkus Taverna Greek Resturant and Bar is located in Kemah, Texas' Lighthouse District near the popular Kemah Boardwalk.  The area is quite popular and when you sit on the deck it kinda reminds me of eating outside in Key West.
Bakkus has cozy indoor seating or has a great deck to enjoy your meal.  They have all kinds of yummy Greek food, but my family's favorite thing to eat there is burgers.  Seriously.  Their burgers have a Greek flare to them and unique taste that I've only had at Bakkus.  I usually order one of their burgers which comes with some great crispy fries lightly sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.  I've also had their Gyros and steak on steak night and they are also delicious.  Our favorite appitizer is their classic hummus with fried pita bread (comes baked, too), which my kids love. We usually end up ordering some extra pita with it because it's a good amount of hummus. 
So next time you are in the area and want to try some great Greek food, give Bakkus a try.

My Olympus Burger

Tookie's Burgers

So, a couple of weeks ago we stopped by to eat at one of our favorite burger joints, Tookie's.  This restaurant has been a local favorite for years.  In 2008, Hurricane Ike decided to fill it with five feet of water, but after a couple of years Tookie's was restored and updated.  It came back with the same decor and the same awesome menu.  I meant to take more pictures, but I was so excited about eating a Tookie's burger, I forgot.  So this pic is of what was left when I remembered:

 
Yup, it's so good there was nothing left.  Visit their website to find out more.
