     Thursday Pop-Up with Caryian Haines at Glitter
     Glitter Karaoke hosts culinary industry veteran Caryian Haines, cooking up special goodies from 8 pm to 2 am. Haines has been tearing it up in the kitchen over at Belle Station, so Glitter wanted to get in on the action. Admission into Glitter is free, but be prepared to buy drinks and food. And don’t be surprised if the vibe is so fun guests find themselves up there on stage, getting their superstar on.

    Austin burger favorite P. Terry’s continues its expansion into Houston this Monday, July 21. The restaurant will open its third Houston-area location in Richmond’s Aliana neighborhood.

    Located at 10305 W Grand Pkwy S, the drive-through-only location is less than 10 miles from P. Terry’s first Houston-area outpost at 9207 FM 723 that opened last year. A location in Spring opened in April.

    Founded in 2005, P. Terry’s has built a devoted following for its burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and milkshakes. The restaurant is known for its high quality ingredients such as hormone-free Black Angus beef, Idaho potatoes, and cage-free eggs. Prices are affordable, with a single-patty cheeseburger starting at $3.65.

    In a video shared on social media, co-founder Patrick Terry assures Houstonians that the brand will eventually push closer to downtown.

    “I want everyone in Houston to know that right now we’re concentrating on the west side of the city, and we are heading central,” he says. “You’ve just got to give us a little time, but our commitment right now is to Houston.”

    While the timing of those other locations is still uncertain, the restaurant has at least one more Houston-area location slated for the Village Green at Bridgeland Central development in Cypress. It’s expected to open later this year.

    The Aliana location will be open beginning at 7 am Monday through Friday and 8 am on Saturday and Sunday.
