    Happy Birthday Indeed

    Midtown eatery lures ladies to birthday brunch with free mimosas and more

    Nov 17, 2023 | 12:00 pm

    Got a Dirty 30, Twenty-Fun, or Twenty-Nine and Feeling Fine birthday party to plan? Look no further than Pour Behavior in Midtown, where every Saturday they're turning up the nostalgia with a live DJ spinning your favorite new and old-school dance and hip-hop hits during Ladies Brunch Out.

    Indulge in a brunch experience like no other, where delectable bites, wonderful company, and an electrifying party atmosphere combine to make special celebrations — or even just an ordinary weekend — a time to remember.

    Picture this: custom party presentations, sparklers, and confetti cannons, plus a free mimosa tower for every ladies birthday party of six guests or more (or you can redeem a $100 birthday discount instead).

    And your cravings are covered with a scratch-made brunch menu served from 11 am-4 pm. From mouthwatering classics to Instagram-worthy creations, there's something for every appetite.

    Start things off with a jumbo cinnamon roll, baked fresh each morning and dripping with scratch-made icing. Keep feeding that sweet tooth with The Best Damn Pancakes, topped with plump blueberries and bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup and served with a side of crisp bacon.

    Build-your-own omelettes utilize cage-free eggs and premium ingredients like Grafton Cheddar, caramelized shallots, and cremini mushrooms, and they're all served with a heaping helping of potatoes. The PB Slam is a hearty traditional plate of two eggs cooked your way, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and sourdough toast.

    If you're seeking something on the healthier side, try the avocado toast with Spanish chorizo and queso fresco.

    Ready to really indulge? Then it's time for Nashville hot chicken biscuits or breakfast tacos, a pair of house-made tortillas bursting with eggs, potatoes, Cheddar, roasted tomato salsa, and avocado tomatillo salsa. It is the weekend, after all.

    And good news for vegans: Pour Behavior has two vegan pizzas on the menu, available all day, every day.

    If you want a little more privacy for your party, book the glass-enclosed private dining room. There are also two large, greenery-covered and open patio areas for your group to enjoy.

    Birthday brunches are a big deal here.

    The bar boasts 30 beer taps, craft cocktails, and a seriously good wine selection, while two huge 250-inch HD LED video walls line the restaurant.

    Pour Behavior is located in Midtown at 2211 Travis St., and its toll-free phone number is 833-O-BEHAVE. Reserve your next Saturday Ladies Brunch Out now.

    Michelin adds 14 Houston restaurants but no new Stars for 2026

    Khói Barbecue earned a Bib Gourmand.

    The Texas restaurant scene is once again in the international spotlight. Breaking from its invite-only ceremony of the previous two years, the Michelin Guide revealed its statewide selections via a press release.

    Three new restaurants were granted Michelin stars, awarded to "establishments serving exceptional cuisine that's rich in flavor, remarkably executed, and infused with the personality of a talented chef." They will be joined by six new Bib Gourmands — "restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value" — and 16 new recommended eateries, quality restaurants that don’t qualify for a star or Bib Gourmand recognition.

    Houston restaurants led the way with 14 additions, divided into five Bib Gourmands and nine Recommended restaurants. That gives the city 53 total Michelin-endorsed concepts. All six of the city's Star restaurants maintained their status,

    Additions to Bib Gourmand

    • Bar Buena, Goode Co.'s Mexico City-inspired speakeasy-style bar in River Oaks
    • Khói Barbecue, where Vietnamese flavors and traditions meet Central Texas-style barbecue
    • Kitchen Rumors, chef Jassi Bindra's creative, Indian-inspired restaurant in the Old Sixth Ward
    • Murray's Pizza & Wine, a restaurant in Memorial that serves sourdough crust pizzas and shareable small plates
    • Xolo, a Mexico City-inspired cocktail bar in Montrose

    Additions to Recommended

    • 1111, a Mexico City-inspired cocktail bar and lounge in Montrose
    • Angie's Pizza, a restaurant in the Heights that serves Neapolitan-style pizza and pastas
    • Di An Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon
    • Jantra, a tasting menu restaurant from James Beard Award winner Benchawan Jabthong Painter
    • Levant BBQ, a halal barbecue joint with locations in Houston and Dallas
    • Mayahuel, a Mexican restaurant in Autry Park from star chef Luis Robledo Richards
    • Oru, a sushi restaurant in the Heights
    • Osteria di Mercado, an Italian restaurant in West U.
    • Sushi Horiuchi, a 6-seat sushi omakase counter in Montrose from revered Houston chef Manabu Horiuchi

    Removed from the Michelin Guide

    • Brisket & Rice
    • Hidden Omakase (temporarily relocated to Bar Moon)
    • Killen's (closed)
    • Late August (closed)
    • Neo (closed for renovations, reopening this fall)

    Michelin also issued special awards to four Houstonians

    • Michelin Exceptional Cocktails Award: Angel Bautista, Xolo
    • Michelin Sommelier Award: Jessica Cano, Sushi Horiuchi
    • Michelin Young Chef/Culinary Professional Award: Jacques Varon and Max Lappe, Baso

    The rest of Texas

    Fort Worth finally had its moment in the sun with the promotion of Goldee’s Bar-B-Q to one-star status. The rest of the newcomers to the list are as follows:

    Michelin announced its plans to launch the inaugural Texas guide in July 2024 and revealed its selections in November 2025. The new press release format of the announcement has led some to speculate that Michelin will abandon the state now that its $2.7 million, three-year commitment to producing the regional guide has expired.

    Considered to be the most prestigious restaurant review authority in the world, Michelin uses five criteria to evaluate restaurants — product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu.
