Corona dining Houston

There WAS a lot of it in the grocery stores come to think of it.

Do I remember correctly that Bourdain learned to cook from Portuguese line cooks in the resort hotels of Cape Cod or Martha’s WineYard or something like that? I read KC a long long time ago.

Sounds correct. He was not fond of the salt fish btw.

Polonia has been closed since the onset of the covid. Yelp is listing 8/31 as a reopen date but the restaurant’s website does not indicate this.

Glass half full guy that I am will go pork cutlet when they open back up.

Hope you got to make the trip in time. I haven’t been to Burt’s in maybe 5 years.

I have read the sausage maker from Burt’s has wound up at Henderson and Kane. Don’t know about the boudin but that puts H&K on my ‘to try’ list.

This is wonderful. Why haven’t I been here in so long? Damn shame. I’ve got to go back to stopping by here regularly. Yes, I’ve been to Portugal. It’s a place where I easily could spend months & months were I younger. I hate to wax too rhapsodic about it, saying it’s the best-kept secret in Europe or something similar, because I haven’t completely given up on an extended visit there, and we all know what happened to Austin after all those magazines called it a “best-kept secret.”
