Grub Burger Bar: ‘Cause You Just Can’t Beat a Perfectly Grilled Burger

March 15, 2016 by

Sometimes, you crave a juicy, grilled burger and just nothing else will do. When that craving strikes, Grub Burger Bar is the place to go in The Woodlands. This local favorite burger joint is a bit more upscale and modern than most, but some say it serves some of the best burgers in town in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

The restaurant’s industrial decor and spacious, open dining room will leave you lots of room to relax and enjoy a hearty meal, while the large bar area makes a great place to grab a cold beer or a glass of wine before dinner. There is a walk-up counter that makes it easy to place your order and grab a seat, and regulars recommend starting every meal with an order of the giant onion rings. Burgers come in styles like the Texas Luau and the Lockhart Legend, but you’ll also find chicken, salmon, and vegetarian options that make equally tasty alternatives to the usual beef.

How to Design Your Own Floral Arrangement

March 1, 2016 by

Think that you have to visit a professional florist to find a magazine-worthy arrangement? Think again! With these simple tips for designing your own floral arrangements at home, you can fill your space at Marquis at the Woodlands with gorgeous flowers or even give them as affordable gifts to friends.

  1. Choose the perfect vase. Choose a vase that will fit the flowers that you have on hand, or if you don’t have a designated vase, use something like a mason jar, pitcher, or other household vessel.
  2. Using florist’s tape, create a grid across the top opening of the vase. Leave approximately one-inch squares in between the tape to keep the flowers separated and evenly spaced.
  3. Mix up textures by using a wide variety of different types of flowers. Contrast delicate baby’s breath with big, leafy blooms and eucalyptus branches.
  4. If you’re feeling a bit intimidated by the idea of mixing and matching, make a statement by using a large quantity of just one type of flower. Whether it’s classic red roses or purple hydrangeas, all flowers look beautiful when trimmed into layered lengths that eventually create a rounded arrangement in a short vase.
