ble food establishments from sumptuously designed restaurants to fun storefronts selling gourmet cookies from mexican food carts to the best bbq in the world and i want to expore it one bite at a time tuesday june 21 2011 i ve moved www devourhouston com devour houston has moved please come check out my new location http www devourhouston com http www devourhouston com posted by devour houston at 2 27 pm no comments sunday june 5 2011 alto pizzeria i m a fan of ava kitchen and whiskey bar the sister restarurant downstairs alto pizzeria the newest addition to the schiller del grande restaurant group finally opened a few weeks ago a couple of months after ava while ava is a little more buttoned up alto is more casual the decor is similar in both places but again alto is a touch more laid back in a very nice way no dive atmosphere here bar at alto pizzeria my first impression aside from liking the place visually was that the service was s l o w also very loud and a tad warm in temperature it took a very long while for anyone to come on over and say hello let alone bring us water it was busy new kinks to work out but just as i want to cut them a break i feel again like they just don t seem to care alto has 4 bubbles by the glass listed on their wine menu i ordered the 10 proscecco cheapest glass on the list and i like prosecco they were out of that bottle next price point upwards was a 16 tattinger that s fine but i asked our server since they were out of the 10 glass if i could have a similar 10 glass of something else even 12 or so i mean 6 more per glass when they were out of their listed glass is a big jump the answer no apparently he even asked his manager who said no unless i wanted to have a sweet prosecco well no i don t want a sweet prosecco i wanted a dry one no big deal i moved on and enjoyed my 16 glass however i m pretty annoyed at that exchange apparently making the customer happy isn t part of their mantra dining room at alto service is already off to an iffy start but what about the food the menu isn t extraordinary long but full of great options from a vegetable platter to fried squid to open face meatball sandwich to pizza of course our table started with the artichoke fonduta with fontina and pecorino 12 traditional fonduta is an italian style fondue made of fontina cheese and served over toast or polenta alto s funduta not so much a fondue or dip as a creamy sauce poured over artichokes but very good the artichokes were very tender the sauce had a tasty kick of something the bread served with the funduta was soft fresh and warm artichoke funduta with fontina and pecorino next we sampled two pizzas margherita with fresh mozzarella tomato and basil 12 and the chicken with artichokes fontina and pine nut pesto 14 we like the margherita a great deal the tomatoes were whole cherry tomatoes not sliced larger tomatoes like a roma and they had a great baked roasted essence that bursted with flavor when i bit into them the pizza crust was chewy yet crispy and thin excellent very delicious margherita pizza the chicken pizza with artichokes hmmmm not so much this pizza was a direct contrast to the excellent flavor combination of the margherita the chicken pizza flavors not only didn t compliment each other they worked against each other fontina and artichoke do work well together see the fonduta above but not on this pizza and pesto as the sauce is usually an great addition but not on this pizza too salty too lemon y odd flavors we couldn t pin point but knew were not working for our palattes chicken pizza with artichokes fontina and pine nut pesto next up a pasta fettuccine with chicken leeks steamed garlic lemon zest and fontina apparently alto likes their fontina 13 the pasta grew on us the more we ate the cream sauce thickened with time and the flavors became more balanced the chicken was moist and tender though the pieces should ve could ve been bigger the pasta was a light dish i d order it again fettuccine with chicken leeks steamed garlic lemon zest fontina finally our sweet finish not many dessert options on the alto menu but the sourdough doughnuts served with nutella called my name whether you call these doughnuts or beignets these fried dough balls rolled in sugar were soft and warm thick sour dough that sunk our teeth into the nutella was a great addition for dipping these babies and at only 5 the dessert was a generous portion sourdough doughnuts with nutella so to sum up i have mixed thoughts on alto our server was friendly and nice but service was slow the entire night i m still a little annoyed they couldn t substitue another similar priced point sparkling wine for me or at least care to try but most of the food was pleasant and i do like the atmosphere you can check it out and let me know what you think alto pizzeria 2800 kirby at westheimer houston texas 77098 713 386 6460 http www avaalto com posted by devour houston at 12 29 pm 1 comment thursday june 2 2011 french gourmet bakery and cafe how many times have i driven past both locations of the french gourmet bakery and never stopped well you know where this is going yesterday i stopped for lunch the eatery is definitely themed in a french way but more like 1990 s french country minus the antiques and simplicity this is not a guy s place i only saw one man and he was getting something to go and the customers are definitely an older crowd hip and young this place is not however the service was great friendly and quick their menu is small and simple and i actually like that stay focus stay on message stay a french bakery breakfast consists of pastries no hot dishes but sausage and cheese kolaches on weekends the lunch menu is made up of sandwiches and salads and with a name like french gourmet bakery they truly do offer many bakery items from cookies to cakes to breads french gourmet bakery i opted for the chicken salad sandwich on tuscan bread kind of cross between white and wheat 5 95 no sides just the sandwich yum yum o yummy i liked their chicken salad i liked it a lot i m not a real fan of fillers in chicken salad no fruit or nuts for me just give me the good stuff the real deal give me the actual chicken salad and the french gourmet bakery did just that creamy moist flavorful delicious chicken salad the bread was very fresh and soft the kind of bread that your teeth just sink right down into the partnership of the soft fresh bread and the fresh flavorful chicken salad was perfect chicken salad sandwich what is a visit to a bakery with out a sweet treat so i ordered some cupcakes well yes some i didn t see just single cupcakes so i bought a six pack i know i know but i did share later on at home the cupcakes were excellent the icing was thick and creamy with a great buttery flavor the cake portion was very dense yet very moist it truly melted in my mouth the icing and cake together was an excellent combination working well in perfect flavor harmony 8 99 for 6 cupcakes vanilla cupcakes my experience as the french gourmet bakery was a good one i ll go back french gourmet bakery and cafe 2250 westheimer road 12504 memorial drive houston texas 77098 houston texas 77024 713 524 3744 713 973 6900 www fgbakery com posted by devour houston at 7 15 am no comments tuesday may 31 2011 star pizza it s hard to find excellent pizza in houston i mean there s some good pizza in a lot of places but new york and chicago we are not no offense guys you know i love houston but its just tough to find delectable pizza new york style or chicago however i do think our star pizza is on to something i do think star pizza is pretty dang good with two locations in town both do a great job baking up a pizza pie inside star pizza harvard location star pizza offers more than just pizza the menu includes various entree salads pastas and sandwiches but its the pizza that keeps me coming back with both new york hand tossed and chicago style deep dish oh and a focaccia pizza too my kind of pizza is freshly made within these walls first up the veggie i know i know for you meat lovers a veggie pizza is well just um wrong but to me a great veggie pizza hits the nail on the head when the veggies are fresh and cooked perfectly they are a great accompaniment to a perfectly crispy crust tangy tomato sauce and melty mozzarella their veggie includes mushrooms onions green pepper broccoli cauliflower zucchini and sprouts slap all that on a deep dish whole wheat and yum star pizza really piles on the veggies and cheese the veggies were very crunchy and juicy the crust was thick yet crispy large 14 19 25 large veggie whole wheat deep dish next the margarita this time we went with the new york hand tossed loaded with roma tomatoes garlic basil cheese and olive oil this pizza pie was just as delicious the tomatoes were juicy and fresh and the basil was freshly picked also 19 25 for a 14 large large margarita new york style not only does star pizza bake up truly excellent pizza but the service is top notch quick and friendly too the staff truly anticipated our needs don t need a whole pizza you can get pizza by the slice for 3 50 star pizza 2111 norfolk 77 harvard houston texas 77098 houston texas 77007 713 523 0800 713 869 1241 www starpizza net posted by devour houston at 7 53 pm 2 comments saturday may 28 2011 becks prime i love becks prime i have been a fan of becks prime since the mid 1980s as high school kids my friends and i would go there for off campus lunch then way later in life i frequented the eateries a great deal when i was pregnant hello iron and dairy of course important components for a growing baby and many many times in between and since i am sure that becks prime is not perfect no place is but i truly don t remember having a bad experience at any of their locations this trip was no exception becks prime augusta location first up the cheeseburger 7 95 i m a pretty much a traditionalist i love the plain simple american cheeseburger and the becks prime cheeseburger never disappoints great char grilled flavor moist and juicy not greasy cooked medium good seasoning crunch from the veggies extra flavor from the mustard and ketchup soft bun a cooked to order patty this burger makes me happy cheeseburger my dining companion ordered bill s burger 8 95 sauteed onions cheddar cheese bacon lettuce jalapenos and prime sauce he echoed all the sentiments of my description above he scarfed his burger down another happy customer bill s burger clearly a burger requires a side we ordered a side of the hand cut idaho fries 2 55 yum delish a good fry soft inside a little crunch on the outside with skins the perfect amount of salt loads of flavor yum delish hand cut idaho fries i got a little crazy this visit to becks and tried the parmesan crisps 3 25 they were good loads of garlic flavor crispy crunchy light while they aren t really a burger side they would be fantastic accompanying a salad or other light dish so while a thumbs up i wouldn t order them again with burgers and fries parmesan crisps my sweet finale the chocolate shake heavenly i love their shakes soft cold creamy silky and the best part is that becks prime offers dessert portions 2 75 it s perfect allowing you to have a big taste without ordering a whole shake unless you want a bigger shake of course dessert portion of the chocolate shake as usual i left becks prime a very happy and satisfied camper always consistent in quick service fresh food and perfectly prepared dishes its no surprise that houstonians named becks prime their favorite burger in the 2010 houston culinary awards becks prime 2615 augusta houston texas 77057 713 266 9901 becks prime is located in 11 houston locations www becksprime com posted by devour houston at 6 15 am no comments sunday may 22 2011 little bitty burger barn another trip for gastronomical indulgence i had high hopes for this little burger joint in northwest houston i needed yes needed a cheeseburger so off we went to check out the little bitty burger barn little bitty burger barn the place is a stereotypical dive small not fancy a few tables inside additional picnic table seating outside order at the counter you know the type little bitty s does actually offer many ordering options from the basic burger of course to wings salads sandwiches etc again what you d expect from a place that has burger barn in the name menu board i tried the 1 4 lb cheeseburger 5 25 that s all i have to say yes that is about the extent of my thoughts on it the lack of exciting descriptive language might give a hint that i found the burger to be well pretty boring no pizazz no juiciness no flavorful seasons just dull the onion rings were just as disappointing the batter didn t crunch and the rings didn t have that great sweetness that i love in an onion ring 1 4 lb cheeseburger and onion rings my dining companion tried out the ultimate jalapeno cheeseburger 6 25 although the burger was indeed spicy his sentiments matched mine disappointing burger he ordered a side of the cajun fries and while they had more flavor than the regular fries tater tots and onion rings the fries were still limp no zest no crunchiness just so ho hum disappointing for home cut taters ultimate jalapeno cheeseburger with cajun fries let me end on a couple of higher notes first the big dog 4 25 was big beefy and juicy it was really good we enjoyed the dog more than anything else we tried even if the regular fries were a let down big dog with french fries okay so the other high note worth mentioning about little bitty burger barn is okay well it s two charlie s 5 alarm fire burger 7 95 and the little bitty double dare 24 95 the double dare contains 2 lbs patties topped with cheese jalapenos bacon and bbq sauce if you eat the whole thing you get a t shirt and your picture taken for their wall order the 5 alarm fire burger and you get a hat even more impressive is the fire burger the 5 alarm fire burger even comes complete with a siren sounded upon the delivery of the burger and a fireman s hat we actually sat next to a guy who ordered this insane burger in fact it was so hot he couldn t even finish it it ripped his stomach two of his friends who had also tried the fire burger previously said it was the hottest thing you can imagine and from the looks of the guy eating today they were right this guy looked like he wanted to die so for the non faint of heart go check out the fire burger the burgers may not be fantabulous at little bitty burger barn but i guess if you want to challenge your gastrointestinal power it doesn t really matter what the burger tastes like you are just surviving little bitty burger barn 5503
