Houstonians eat out more than residents of any other city. You can indulge yourself in one of the more than 11,000 restaurants ranging from award winning and upscale to Deli shops. Many of the chefs have huge followings. One of these is Edelberto Goncalves the resident chef at Rouge. A treat for the senses, the lobster at this restaurant may be messy to eat but it's absolutely irresistable.

For a more traditional approach there is not much that can beat Brennans. If you are seduced by the food you can learn to reproduce it yourself as they give cooking lessons at different times for groups of five, as does the Sardinian restaurant Arcodoro. So, if you have a moment to while away grab your aprons!
