Reflects the city's restaurant variety & quality
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.

Fat City Doesn't Rate a Cookbook
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...

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.
