Who knew going home could be so much fun! I grew up in Houston, and it’s great fun to come back and see so many cool changes. The house I lived in for elementary school is gone…City Center and a toll road replaced it.
Houston
Ambrosia really comes from Haven
Yes, Ambrosia could be the nectar of the Gods…especially this delicious version from talented Haven chef and owner Randy Evans.
Butter basted dorado with creamed cabbage
Easy to see why Haven Restaurant was recently named one of Houston’s Top Ten New Restaurants. Chef/Owner Randy Evans sources the freshest local products and comes up with the most delicious combinations of flavors.
A ‘Haven’ for Sleepy Heads
Just about any Saturday morning starting bright and early you can find a Farmers’ Market, but the key to getting the really good stuff is getting there early…until now.
