Soooooo... What is there to do in Houston?
 
Going to Houston next week, to meet the new client and such.

Drinks with me and Mullet for starters. What part of Houston? I work downtown live southwest of town.

We have a fantastic museum district, an incredible food scene...and that’s about it.

Gatlin's. The Pit Room. It's a BBQ fiesta just waiting to be explored!

Staying near the Galleria. Working not too far from there, on San Felipe. :shrug:

That’s where I worked when I first moved to Houston, the Galleria gets nutty with traffic especially around holidays. Lots of good food near by though! :yesnod:

Yep. Remember that from when I was working near there in 2008.

If your number is the same, I'll give you a call when I get in Sunday night.

Stangkiller 04-10-2019 9:28pm

Sure is, Sunday night we’re having dinner at 7:30 with a few forum folks actually down near my place if you land early enough. Fri-sun afternoon we’ll be at MOTO GP in Austin.

While you're there you should hit up the best BBQ place in Texas and get yourself a McRib. :cert:

Oilers game? Oh wait... :leaving: :D

Like Stang said, plenty of great food right near your hotel. Just had liver n onions at a nice Luby’s on Post Oak.

I'm down for a meet-n-greet, just let us know when and where. I'd suggest Killen's BBQ, or any number of Tex Mex restaurants.

Unfortunately for you The Gold Cup is closed. :sadangel:

Killens isn’t opened in the heights yet, right?

I don't think so, but the flagship in Pearland has a line out the door every single day. Personally, while it's good, I like Joe's BBQ in Alvin better. Probably a bit far for you northwest folks, though.

NASA is a lot of fun

Mmmm weekend buffet!

Overall I’m just underwhelmed with Houston’s bbq scene...hill country/Austin is where it’s at. But I haven’t actually made it into Killens BBQ yet.

This is the mecca for Texas bbq:

County Line on 2222 in Austin is good, too, great scenery. The Houston location in NW Houston is also good, but can't quite capture the experience of the Austin location.
