Pho Binh: Bowl of Joy

April 15, 2013 by

Pho is a daily staple of Vietnamese cuisine – eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this soup of beef broth redolent with star anise, cinnamon, and caramelized onions and served with noodles, fresh vegetables, and meats is a culinary delight. Pho Binh’s original location, Pho Binh Trailer, is an unpretentious, gritty little spot to try pho in a wide range of varieties, with meats that range from familiar to Western diners to downright odd. If you are an adventurous sort, you’ll find brand new textures and flavors to try in every bowl. Pho Binh also has several other locations that offer equally delicious food in a more polished atmosphere, but Pho Binh Trailer is a place you have to experience at least once.

Gatlin’s BBQ: Worth the Wait

March 6, 2013 by

Some call it the best barbecue in Texas; this tiny place is certainly popular, doling out Texas-style dry rub barbecue meats to crowds every day of the week. Regulars agree that the brisket is out of this world; salty, smoky, and melt in your mouth tender. Lean, chewy ribs are a popular choice as well. The sauce, served on the side, strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. Homemade sausages come smoked or in spicy links. Sides and desserts are of the humble home style variety; beans, coleslaw, green beans, and a bread pudding your mama might have made. Be forewarned, this kind of slow cooking can take a while, and Gatlin’s sometimes closes when they run out of meat; it’s best to call in your order ahead of time.

Gatlin’s BBQ

Houston, TX 77008
