For all my fellow Houston foodies...

My brother-in-law is coming in from Perth (Australia) and has never, ever been to Texas before. He's very eager to try the local food. What restaurants do you think of when you think "Texan" in Houston? What restaurants do you think of when you think "Houston" for that matter? I'm curious to hear other opinions aside from my immediate gut reactions of Goode Company BBQ et al.

Where would you take him?
