Looking back at this post, I can’t believe it has been EIGHT YEARS since I last got a banh mi at Roostar. I went today for lunch and the construction on Gessner that always hindered access to the sandwiches has long since finished and the route was easy and smooth. This time I got the grilled chicken, it was delicious and I ate almost the whole thing regrettably.
The price now is roughly twice what I paid in this post in 2016, to be expected I suppose.
Now that I have retired, I don’t get out to restaurants as much as I used to, but I manage. This week I went to Kim Son Cafe at Memorial City for Mongolian chicken which was very good, Los Tios for pechuga Monterrey (smothered in Serranos, mushrooms, and Mexican cheese) and margaritas.
We should start another “what’s for lunch Houston, 2024” here. Looking at the 2017 version, there were some really good comments and suggestions, but they are dated now and many of the places mentioned don’t exist anymore.
