Our Favorite Foodies

Houston’s food scene is one of the most vibrant in the nation – but without the city’s prolific foodies, many of us would be in the dark about much of the amazing new food offerings in town. Their photos, blog posts and insta and snapchats bring Houston’s food culture to life. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite local foodies below.

Hu Tieu you think I am?! 😂 Kinda hate myself for that caption but whatevs lol this stuff was too good to pass it up. It’s a Vietnamese dish with rice noodles, pork, and seafood. The noodles are coated in a savory yet salty sauce, and broth is served on the side. So good! . . . . . . #liftingnoodles #noodle #noodles #foodiegram #lovefood #beautifulcuisines #eatingfortheinsta #myfab5 #eeeeeats #tastingtable #hypefeast #seriouseats #forkyeah #noleftovers #cheatdayeats #spoonfeed #eater #yougottaeatthis #foodiefeature #eatfamous #foodshare #foodblogger #thefeedfeed #infatuation #feedyoursoull #instayum #bestfoodworld #eattheworld

I thought I would try something new to end 2017. Today was my first time having German food! My family visited @kingsbiergarten , and we ordered a plethora of delectable dishes! To start we had the Giant Bier🍻Pretzel 🥨. The warm, fluffy pretzel sprinkled with himalayan crystal salt was served with their tangy house mustard. This appetizer is perfect during this chilly weather! | 2017 was an amazing year. I got to learn so much about myself. I met great people who are now an important part of my life. I have received many opportunities, which have helped me grow as a person, student, leader, and foodie. Lastly, I have developed a ton of recipes both healthy and “non-healthy”. I can’t wait for what #2018 has to offer. Cheers to trying new things and self-discovery!!! 🥂 🎊🎂Thanks for all of the support!!! 💛

Comfort food is my favorite food. I love how everyone’s is different and I love the stories behind them. One of mine is Chinese bakery goodies, the smell of the bakery, the crinkle of the cellophane.– it all reminds me of running errands Saturday mornings with my mom as a kid when I would much rather have been in bed. Definitely miss that, but at least a trip to the Chinese bakery serves as my dose of nostalgia ❤️. I’d love to hear a story about your favorite comfort foods! 🤗

Did you know that today is #nationalcreampuffday?? Apparently @chefaustinsimmons at @hubbell_hudson did and graciously provided this as proof: Housemade Pistachio Profiteroles with Hazelnut Ganache. Yes, it’s 30 degrees outside. No, I don’t care.

I’ve been reading through this month’s Bon Appetit magazine and getting so excited to cook for Thanksgiving!

You’ve stolen a 😋🍕#pizza of my heart! This one came with brisket with house made #mozzarella, #cheddar, candied jalapeño, red onion 🧀 and honey bbq. If you like your pizza a little sweet & spicy then you would love this one. 📍: @canerossohouston (Houston) 📝: The Smoke House Pizza ($17) 💁🏻‍♂️: TAG SOMEONE TO TRY THIS WITH

@localpho in the Washington Heights area is a great place to grab a quick bite of locally sourced, fresh Vietnamese food. I love the location with a downtown view that’s perfect to enjoy a bowl of the Riblet beef pho on the outdoor patio! The space is super cute and the pork sandwiches, spring rolls, egg rolls and Vietnamese coffee are lip-smacking good! #eatlocalpho #foodiefingers @foodiefingers
