    This Week In Dining

    These are the 11 best food and drink events in Houston this week

    Anthony Bourdain
    Toast Anthony Bourdain on Tuesday.

    The week begins with a tequila tasting and a tribute to Anthony Bourdain. It revs up with wine dinners, a multi-century exploration of an ancient cooking technique, then culminates in a bash celebrating our neighbor to the north. In fact, there's so much world cuisine in this week's list of must-eats and must-drinks, Houstonians might want to break out their passports.

    Through June 30
    Negroni Week
    Dozens of Houston bars and restaurants are participating in the international event that celebrates the classic three-ingredient cocktail that features gin, vermouth, and Campari. Each establishment will put its own spin on the classic. To participate, they must donate to one of the event's official charities; they are also encouraged to make additional donations. Six bars — Anvil, the Pastry War, Lei Low, Brasserie du Parc, Etoile, and Public Services — have been designated premium donors, which means they've contributed at least $250.

    Monday, June 24
    Tequila Tasting at Third Coast
    From 6-7:30 pm, join sommelier David Cook to celebrate National Tequila Day. A $60 ticket buys a tasting of four tequilas paired with selections from executive chef Jon Buchanan.

    Tuesday, June 25
    Anthony Bourdain Tribute at Himalaya
    Marking the birthday of the acclaimed chef and TV host, Himalaya chef and owner Kaiser Lashkari will be donating a portion of the day's sales from his Bourdain-approved menu items to Make-A-Wish Foundation, one of Bourdain's charities of choice. Anthony Bourdain featured Himalaya on his "Parts Unknown" TV show and gave his stamp of approval to several menu items, including chicken hara masala (pieces of boneless chicken cooked in a tangy green curry sauce); mutton biryani (pieces of mutton cooked in a blend of dry whole spices, and layered with basmati rice); steak tikka (lean and tender pieces of beef steak, marinated in a griddle, roasted in aromatic spices from the Bihar region of India, and char grilled); and aloo chana masala (butter soft chickpeas and potato cubes simmered in a piquant curry sauce). Himalaya is open from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm.

    Honig Vineyard & Winery Dinner at Jasper's The Woodlands
    Chef Ruben Campos has created a special three-course dinner to pair with a series of Honig wines for this evening, led by Michael Casanova, Honig's southwest regional manager. Begin with passed Thai chicken salad wontons paired with the 2017 Rutherford Honig Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, and move through courses such as a tenderloin pie of grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms, zucchini, and red bell peppers paired with the 2015 Napa Valley Honig Cabernet Sauvignon, and rosemary-glazed lamb chops with a bleu cheese chimichurri that's accompanied by the 2014 Bartolucci Vineyard Honig Cabernet Sauvignon. Dinner starts at 6:30 pm, and tickets are $75 plus tax and a 20 percent gratuity per person. Reservations can be made online or by emailing the restaurant.

    Wednesday, June 26
    New Menu Debuts at Le Colonial
    The trendy River Oaks District French-Vietnamese gathering place has switched on its summer menu. Available through September, look for sui cao tom hap, done with steamed shrimp and chive dumplings; ca hap, a steamed bass filet with noodles, bok choy, shitake mushrooms, tomato, and scallions in a light ginger soy broth; a half-roasted duck for two; and kaffir lime and coconut panna cotta served with cherry brandy sauce, seasonal berries, and toasted coconut.

    Thursday, June 27
    "Every Queso Counts" at Gringo's Mexican Kitchen
    In honor of PTSD Awareness Day, all of the restaurant's locations will donate 100 percent of their queso sales to Camp Hope, which provides interim housing for veterans and their families in Houston along with a PTSD recovery program. The company will also make an additional donation matching the amount of the day's queso sales and will donate $1 for every share the Facebook event link receives. Restaurants are open from 11 am to 10 pm.

    Wine and Bourbon Dinner at Morton's Steakhosue
    Chris Brundrett of William Chris Vineyards and Dan Garrison of Garrison Brothers walk diners through a series of their wines and bourbons, paired with a multi-course dinner. Courses include selections such as heirloom tomato and goat cheese terrine, baby arugula, and candied pecans with aged balsamic vinegar accompanied by the Garrison Brothers Small Batch Peach Lemonade and William Chris Vineyards 2018 Pétillant Naturel Rosé, and Black Hills Heritage bone-in pork tenderloin with fingerling and smoked onion smashed potatoes served with the Garrison Brother Small Batch Neat and William Chris Vineyards 2017 Cinsault. Dinner starts at 7 pm. Tickets are $150 per person and can be purchased online.

    Journey of Kabobs Wine Dinner at Verandah
    Verandah owners chef Sunil Srivastava and his wife, Anupama, team up with French Country Wines to offer a 10-course dinner paired with five wines. Each course offers guests one of two kabob plates, most with a choice between meat or vegetarian. Over the course of the meal, diners will learn how this ancient dish evolved from hunters cooking wild game skewered on swords to the elaborate and labor-intensive methods used today. Dinner starts at 7 pm and costs $250 per person, plus tax and gratuity. For information and reservations, call 281-501-0258 or 832-886-4291.

    Saturday, June 29
    Pre-July 4 Wine Tasting at French Country Wines
    History class review: Without the support —monetary and otherwise— of the French, it's altogether possible the American Revolution might have had a completely different ending. Those looking for a way to celebrate sticking it to the British and gaining our independence might consider adding a bottle (or several) of French wine into their barbecues, fireworks watching, and other revelry accompanied by bonfires and illuminations. From Noon to 6 pm, French Country Wines, independent wine shop and tasting room in Upper Kirby, offers a free tasting of reds, whites, roses, and bubbles guaranteed to go with whatever celebrating takes place.

    Sunday, June 30
    3rd Annual Canada Day Celebration at Riel
    Riel owner and former semi-pro hockey player Ryan Lachaine opens the closed-on-Sunday restaurant to honor the land of his birth. Joining him are Mason Hereford of New Orleans's Turkey and the Wolf and fellow Canadian Mandel Hitzer of Winnipeg's deer + almond. The menu features surprise items from the visiting chefs as well as hot dogs, poutine, pierogies, Nanaimo Bars, and Riel’s Big Steak, a 48-oz. 44 Farms bone-in ribeye served with squash and haricot verts. Drink offerings include $1.52 Canadian Club Whisky in honor of Canada’s 152nd birthday, plus plenty of Molson, Lot 40 cocktails, and Canadian Jell-O Shots. Reservations are encouraged, but walk-ins will be welcome. The party begins at 2 pm.

    Arts District Houston Dinner Series at Decatur Bar & Pop-Up Factory
    Chefs Dominick Lee of Poitiín and Evelyn Garcia of Decatur Bar & Pop-Up Factory pair up for a collaborative evening showcasing each chef's unique flavors and styles for this four-course dinner. Selections feature a mixture of Lee's southern-Creole cuisine and Garcia's southeast Asian dishes. Look for items such as crispy water spinach salad with heirloom tomatoes, tasso bits, and green goddess dressing; charred octopus with grits, bitter greens, achiote oil, and crispy garlic; aged Iberico pork collar with herb salad, crispy salad, and cane syrup fish sauce; and grilled Gulf shrimp with crispy stuffed shrimp head, chili paste, and pickled green tomato.

    Next Level Lounge at Fogo de Chão  in Katy

    Katy's Fogo de Chão features the restaurant's Next Level Lounge.

    Everyone knows how quickly Houston’s ‘burbs are growing — and that includes the dining scene. From Katy to Stafford, Pearland to Webster, new restaurants are popping up all over. Whether you’re craving grilled meats carved tableside or a stack of pillowy pancakes, these fresh spots have something for every appetite.

    Fogo de Chão
    Katy just scored its first Fogo de Chão, making it the fifth Houston-area location for the popular Brazilian steakhouse. Diners can feast on the endless parade of grilled meat and seafood that servers slice tableside, or enjoy all-day happy hour at Bar Fogo. The new location also marks the Houston-area debut of Fogo's Next Level Lounge concept, billed as a sleek whiskey and bourbon hideaway. Located at 222 West Grand Parkway South, Fogo is open Monday - Thursday from 11:30 am–10 pm, Friday until 10:30 pm, Saturday from 11 am–10:30 pm, and Sunday from 11 am–9 pm.

    Hash Kitchen
    It’s brunch all day, every day at Hash Kitchen’s new Webster outpost, joining its sister spot in Pearland. The lively location dishes out plates of tamale eggs Benedict, pineapple upside-down pancakes, and birria-loaded scramblers. It’s always a party with an extensive drink menu featuring a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar with more than 50 toppings, plus a live DJ spinning tunes on weekends. Hash Kitchen is located at 1065 W Bay Area Boulevard, Suite 170, in Webster, and is open Monday-Friday from 7 am-2 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7 am-3 pm.

    Via 313
    Pearland is now home to a slice of Motor City with the opening of Via 313 in the Silverlake Business Park. The Austin-based pizzeria serves up Detroit-style rectangular pies with crispy edges and focaccia-like dough, plus vegan and gluten-free options. Try The Jalapeño Poppa with bacon, whipped cream cheese, jalapeños, and Sriracha hot honey, or go for The Cadillac — a sweet-and-savory combo of prosciutto, gorgonzola, fig preserves, and balsamic glaze. This is Via’s fourth Houston-area location and can be found at 9250 Broadway St., Suite 190. Hours are Monday - Thursday from 11 am–10 pm, Friday and Saturday until 11 pm, and Sunday from 11 am–9 pm.

    Hopdoddy Burger Bar
    Hop on over to Stafford’s The Grid for a bite at Austin-based Hopdoddy Burger Bar. Highlights include the Cadillac Burger — a half-pound wagyu beef patty topped with steakhouse bacon and truffle aioli — plus veggie options, gluten-free buns, loaded Brussels sprouts, salads, and boozy milkshakes. The chef-crafted “Burger of the Month” keeps the menu fresh. The Stafford spot joins Hopdoddy’s nine other Houston-area locations and is decked out with custom neon signs and vibrant artwork. Located at 12333 Southwest Freeway, Suite 300, it’s open Sunday - Thursday, 11 am-10 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 11 am-11 pm.
