5.0 out of 5 stars Reflects the city's restaurant variety & quality, January 1, 2005

This review is from: Culinary Capital: Signature Dishes from America's Premier Restaurant City (Hardcover)
Houston is an outstanding city for restaurant lovers and this book contains recipes from some of the city's best restaurants. The recipes are complete and accurate and each includes a photo along with a small writeup on either the restaurant or the chef.

If you can't make it to the restaurants, this is the next best thing to being there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fat City Doesn't Rate a Cookbook, January 3, 2005
By 
L. Pitman (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Culinary Capital: Signature Dishes from America's Premier Restaurant City (Hardcover)
Oh Puleeeeze. Houston as America's Premier Restaurant City? What happened to New York and San Francisco? Even Las Vegas has better food than the Fat Capital of the US. This cookbook-lite embodies the worst transgression of all -- imagining that the world revolves around its city, and that somehow that matters to foodies. It's pretentious and silly. Besides we all know that nobody in Houston eats mesquite-roasted duck, unless they're trying to impress someone else at the table (usually from out of town). They eat at MacDonalds and hide the supersize when a normal-weight person walks by. Go back in the kitchen and check how many of those recipes REALLY start with cream of mushroom soup.
