As Liquidation Thursday wore on, I thought a burger and fries might ease me of my economic anxiety. So I headed downtown in late afternoon to check out the latest in Houston smashburgerdom, namely Proper - A Burger Spot, which recently opened in the food hall they are now marketing

Probably the only good excuse to visit Houston in August.
This Alison Cook review of the Houston outpost of Austin's Home Slice Pizza rings true to me. The pizza’s just ... OK. She nails the fact that its sauce is too salty, and in general the garlic's too much. There are better NY-style pizzas in Houston, including the one served at Pizaro's Pizza Napoletana (if only it didn't come in just one humungous size) and Romano's on West Gray.
But yeah, the patio is a killer, one of the best outdoor pizza scenes in town.

Also, note that rattlesnake sausage nachos are on the menu.
Houston’s Tacos Tierra Caliente is No. 2 on the list, and considered the best in Texas.

Beck's Prime still has some of the best burgers in Houston It's been around for a long time, and this particular store - on Upper Kirby near River Oaks - has been around and not updated since the mid 80s. It was closed for remodeling for a LONG time, one of those "I bet it never reopens" closures. But glad to see it back!
Kolaches. Klobasniks. They are not the same. But they are both delicious.
The author leaves out the Houston-based Kolache Factory chain, but for a chain their klobasniks (the savory, meat/egg-filled pastries) are completely satisfying. (Kolaches are typically fruit or cheese-filled.)
