Frank Bruni visited Houston and wrote up Feast as one of the bold new restaurants making the US a great place to eat. In the review, he refers to Houston as "a foreign land of big steaks and bold Tex-Mex". Maybe foreign was written in regard to the Britons running the restaurant but foreign might as well refer to the New Yorker's take on Texas, a whole 'nother country. What I thought was funny and notable was that these restauranteurs had landed in Houston because of the "American" (let's be honest, Texan) women they loved. It is known that people come to Houston for the energy and medical industries, but Texas ladies are an underrepresented asset as well. Yes, we leave, but then we come back, and apparently not alone.
