houston's best burgers

you might not think of houston, tx as a foodie destination,

but the food scene is buzzing. there are top restaurants

popping up all over! we definitely found some gems here,

starting with stanton's... best burgers in houston for sure!

we tried everything from houston-brewed rootbeer to the

popular "miss piggy" burger made with candied bacon...

to the luke skyburger with fried bacon...yes you get the

picture! somehow these burgers don't feel too heavy 

despite the ingredients. they are well-made and packed

with fresh flavor. we all loved ours...and the fries too!

be sure to try the italian fries + the sweet potato of course!

just look at that beautiful burger! i feel like i can trust

texas to make me a flawless all-american. hamburger.

before --> and after. do you think we liked it? :)

one of the best parts of this little restaurant in a white house 

is that it's family owned. theresa, jonathan and samantha

honestly run the place. their sweet dad started it and

they carry it on now. we had to pull the mom out of the

kitchen for a picture! she is that involved, every day.

you have to love a personal place like this.

after a filling dinner, we still needed dessert!

we drove onto rice campus to try such a fun place

called snow block shavery. it was delightful!

what's not to love about hawaiian shaved ice,

ribbon ice, fruit crush ice, and yummy block 

toast made with condensed milk. these desserts

are different, but they are so delicious.

this ribbon ice mat look crazy, but it was the best.

they basically freeze ice with a flavor + sweetened

condensed milk, and then shave it off so you are

eating flavored ice! it has the best texture.

between stanton's and snow block, it was fun

to get a sense of houston's fresh, unique and

unexpected food scene. food is always best 

enjoyed in good company, so we loved it even 

more with these great friends in houston.

thanks stanton's & snowblock!
