I’m new to the Hungry Onion but a long time user from the Chowhound forum. I noticed there isn’t much activity here on discussions of places to eat, new and undiscovered places in particular. I know some here used B4-U-Eat as a guide to keep track of what recently opened and new places to try with the assistance of news sites like Houston Chronicle and Houston Press. Since B4-U-Eat’s demise, there’s Yelp’s new business list but it doesn’t show the latest openings only a week or weeks after a place as opened dependent on the number of reviews a listing receives.
If you really want to keep up with what’s new and places to try that seem under the radar to you or just places that are really good but not publicized in the Chronicle, Houston Press, CultureMap and Houstonia, my suggestion is to join an active food group on Facebook. Houston Chowhounds and Cleverley Stone’s foodie groups aren’t that great. Better options on Facebook are:
Woodlands Area Foodies
The Woodlands/Spring Area , TX Foodie Club
Cypress Area Foodies and Fooding
Katy/Ft. Bend Foodies
Ramen in Common
