A Sandwich a Day: Cheesesteak at Pappa Geno's in Houston
As a Serious Eater, I bet I'm not alone in being dubious whenever a cheesesteak is recommended outside of a stone's throw from Philly and its suburbs. So an eye roll was in order when my sister-in-law waxed poetic about a newish cheesesteak joint, Papa Geno's, we had to try by her place in the Heights of Houston. Whether she fully grasped it or not, within one bite, I knew this place was cooking up a cheesesteak incredibly close to the real deal.Street Food Profiles: Oh My! Pocket Pies in Houston, Texas

I recently flew to Houston with my wife, Vicky, to do some exploratory eating around the city for our upcoming Serious Eats book.

I made my first road trip for the Serious Eats book last week. How did I do? Don't know. What I do know is that these book trips are not going to be easy for my serious diet. Why?

So far I have been to 16 taco joints, barbecue joints, and every food place in between, in less than 48 hours. And yet I am not worried about my weigh-in? How could that be?Use Twitter to Find a Lunch Buddy
Houston Press: "What's a hungry foodie to do when they find themselves at a loss for a dinner or lunch companion? That's where @TwEATup comes in. The brainchild of local web entrepreneur and social networker Laban Johnson, TwEATup is a service that links Twitterers in the Houston area with others who want to grab a bite to eat."...Cinco de Mayo: Taco Trucks and the Chefs Who Love Them
My friend Robb Walsh knows taco trucks. He chronicled the taco trucks of Houston for his paper, the Houston Press. He also wrote a story for Gourmet on taco trucks across the country, but alas, it is not online. For some reason, though, the powers that be at Condé Nast did put up a little sidebar Walsh did on chefs and their thoughts on taco trucks. He talks to John Currence, Elizabeth Montes, and Gabriel Rucker....Houston Pupusa Truck: 'Just Look for the Funky Chicken'
Houston Press food critic Robb Walsh discovers a pupusa truck at South Post Oak Road and Tidewater Drive (map): "A Salvadorean lady named Elisa churns out pupusas at an amazing clip. I watched her make a dozen in five minutes." The cool graphics on the truck (including what what Walsh calls a "funky chicken") are almost worth the price of ignition alone....The Tastiest Streets in the U.S.
