Goodies To-Go

How to bring Houston's best restaurant meals home — food truck and smoker included

One of the new normals this year is celebrating at home, with to-go feasts mostly taking the place of meals out. If you've got an event coming up and would prefer to pass the cooking off to the professionals, Berg Hospitality can help with its all-new concept catering menu.

That's the parent company of some of Houston's best restaurants: B&B Butchers & Restaurant, B.B. Lemon, The Annie Cafe & Bar, B.B. Italia Kitchen & Bar, and Turner's.

Hosts can pick and choose dishes from all the eateries to create the perfect menu for the occasion, whether it's a birthday party, tailgate get-together, corporate lunch, or holiday gathering. There are even fun extras like a shrimp and crawfish boil or charcuterie and cheese boards, plus several alcohol packages (it's never the wrong time for a mimosa or Bloody Mary bar).

You have the option of drop-off service, which doesn't include staff and arrives hot and fresh in disposable containers for easy set-up and clean-up. The full-service catering provides staff members that have tested negative for COVID-19 that day, allowing the host and guests to never have to lift a finger.

There's also one more supremely cool option: the Berg Hospitality food truck and smoker. Book one — or both — and enjoy bites from the onsite mobile kitchen, right on your property. Chow down on Philly cheesesteaks, hand-dipped corndogs, lobster rolls, and grilled cheese, or your choice of meats and sides served with white bread, barbecue sauce, onions, pickles, and jalapeños.

If you're ready to drool, take a look at all the catering options here. Then reach out to the sales and events team at 713-804-3317 or party@berghospitality.com to plan your next delicious occasion.

Houston's most pretty-in-pink restaurant quietly closes in Upper Kirby

You'll see a lot of pink at PostScript.

PostScript, Upper Kirby’ posh pink restaurant, has quietly closed, CultureMap has learned.

Although the restaurant is still accepting reservations on OpenTable — and is, as of this article’s publication, listed as open on both Yelp and Google — reports circulated on social media this weekend that it had abruptly canceled diners’ Mother’s Day reservations. In addition, its dining room in the Shops at Arrive mixed-use development has been emptied of furniture.

[Update: After the publication of this article, PostScript's management provided CultureMap with the following statement:

We are saddened to announce the closure of PostScript HTX.

We sincerely thank our patrons for their loyalty and support. It has been an honor to serve you and be part of your special moments. The people and culture in Houston are first class. We wish you all the best and hope our paths cross again in the future.]

PostScript opened with considerable fanfare in February 2024. Owners Veeral Rathod and Obi Ibeto, brought their experiences as partners in the Dallas-based GAP Hospitality to the project, which operates establishments such as XOXO Dining Room, Lyla, and Drai’s Dallas. Particularly inspired by XOXO Dining Room, they created an ode to pink that included pink exterior and interior walls, a pink quartz bar, and a pink grand piano. “Push for Champagne” buttons added to the lively spirit.

Chef Bryan Caswell created the menu. Best known for his pioneering Gulf Coast seafood restaurant Reef that closed in 2019, Caswell’s menu included fried chicken with hummus, oysters three ways (raw, roasted, and fried), a sushi roll, and the double smoked pork chop that was a Reef staple. A doughnut topped with caviar became a customer favorite.

Since Caswell was only consulting on the project, he left a couple of months after opening. Latuli, Caswell’s new Gulf Coast-inspired restaurant in the Memorial area, is expected to open soon.

CultureMap has reached out to PostScript via email, phone, and Instagram message for comment on the decision to close the restaurant. We will update this article if they reply.

PostScript’s closure follows that of Cru, which ended a 13-year run in December 2024. On the other hand, Kira, a sushi hand roll concept from Houston’s Comma Hospitality that’s also located in the development, is thriving, having earned the No. 4 spot on Texas Monthly’s list of the state’s best new restaurants. The development is also home to beloved Indian restaurant Pondicheri, an outpost of the steakhouse chain Eddie V’s, and top tier Houston shopping destination Tootsie’s.
