Walsh

Robb Walsh has pointed me to some really good food in Houston, though it's not usually the higher end restaurants that I hit (i.e. Walsh turned me onto Rudz burgers, Iranian kabobs, and good italian subs from a chain).

But I get a sort of perverse joy out of reading his reviews of overly pretentious and really horrible restaurants in town.

This is just devastating:

When it was over, we sat back and had a look around at the restaurant's new decor, which isn't all that different from the old decor. The Asian minimalism of Ling & Javier has simply been accented with Western-looking artifacts.

I asked my date how she would describe the look. "Cowboy minimalism," she snickered. With its naked steaks, underseasoned entr�es and overpriced side dishes, that's not a bad description of the food, either.

Ouch.
