Houston’s celebration spots are as diverse as the rapidly growing city. And restaurants know how to add fuel to your festivities, whether that means a complimentary dessert, hand-written note, or a pitch-perfect Champagne bottle to match your epic night out. Your celebration might call for a round of margaritas and a queso or a stiff martini and a perfectly cooked steak. You’re in luck, because there’s no one way to celebrate in Houston. Read on for a guide to 11 restaurants made for special occasions.
9 Burgers You Must Try In Miami
There’s something about a nice juicy burger that makes it the perfect craveable dish — maybe because it’s a handheld meal that’s ideal for curing ailments like extreme hunger and hangovers. With so many combinations from meat to cheese to toppings and style of bun, no two burgers are the same — and nor should they be. Fortunately, in the Magic City there’s no shortage of delicious, mouthwatering burgers to sink your teeth into. From secret sauces to secret locations there’s always a new burger to discover. Here are nine Miami burgers to put on your to-do list immediately.
Discover Houston
A large city known for energy production, shipping, and technology, Houston offers many opportunities to try Texas’ best dishes. Texas is known for expansive cattle ranches raising quality beef, so it’s no surprise that it’s easy to find fine steakhouses and funky burger joints in Houston. Another specialty in the city is barbecue. In Houston, you will find pork ribs and beef brisket slow smoked over mesquite and oak. With its location on the Texas coastline, fresh-caught Gulf seafood is also a favorite. Seafood dishes boiled, baked, blackened or fried are among the most sought after in the city. Looking for something spicy? Don't miss out on the local Tex-Mex cuisine.
