I know the resilience of Houstonians. We come together and make things happen. As we move forward and the rebuilding process begins, I thought it fitting to feature classic ‘comfort food’ recipes…
green beans

Stir fry green beans with zest and spice! These Wok Chili Green Beans come from my friends at Songkran Thai Kitchen in Uptown.
Fresh, Quality Ranch Fare Flourishes at Contigo
This unassuming farm-to-table chow spot is modeled after its namesake, Contigo Ranch in South Texas, and a definite must for reasonably priced ‘bar food’ (their words, not mine!) utilizing the freshest of seasonal ingredients, often unique to the Lone Star State.
The Very Popular Vegan Black Bean Cake from Boudro’s
Boudro’s Texas Bistro on the historic San Antonio River Walk…it doesn’t get any better than that! Chefs Ivan and Manny add yet another inspired effort to Boudro’s gluten-free menu — a Black Bean Griddle Cake plated on a beautiful basque piperade, alongside a garbanzo roasted tomato avocado relish, and accompanied by rosemary potatoes, fresh plantains, and garnished with crispy green beans. Holy moly!
