more places to eat in houston

a couple of weeks ago i met a man at the poker tables and we struck up a conversation in which he informed me that he owned a french cafe here in houston. well, last night we went and what a treat it was! LE MISTRAEL on eldridge parkway. if in houston GO! the chef was a private chef for a billionaire oilman and his family for over a decade traveling the world on yachts and private jets. he saved his money and brought his brother, an architect, over from france to run the place. the architect is the one i met; he designed the building and runs the show while david cooks. we were treated as royalty last night and had a meal to remember. five stars from the shock review.

also here in the montrose area we ate at RIVA'S italian and it was great as well. some of the best i have had in years and at a really reasonable price.

you may have noticed over the years i like to turn people on to great places to eat that i have found in my travels. these are strictly my opinions and no owner ever knows about them.

i am over my melancholia .... probably because i go back to work tonight. i am up at the willowbrook mall area in tomball at the COMEDY SPOT...come on out if you can.

don't have my computer with me on this trip so will write again when i get back to vegas. not that anyone is awaiting this blog...lol. sometimes i think it is just mental masturbation on my part. there are times though when just a blog of trivia and blather casts out some of my demons. i try not to lay them on you, just get them away from me.

going to be in the mid 70's here today .... eat your heart out those of you in the snowy lands up north.
