s3mh Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 http://blog.chron.com/foodchronicles/2015/02/heights-ice-house-in-the-works-from-revival-market-and-coltivare-partners/#30758101=0 I am a big fan of Coltivare and Revival, but have to give this one a "moo". We are in a tex-mex surplus in the Heights. I guess it could get interesting if they did a fusion taco-esque concept. But if it is just straight tex-mex, it will have to really crush it to get me to pay the kind of prices I know they will be charging. I would almost rather them open D&T II. EQ is in soft opening in the drab bungalow on Heights and 11th. I will give them a week or two before trying. I really hope it is good. Nothing beats that patio for a morning coffee on a nice day.

Angostura Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This will be as much about the food as it is the drinks. ...not least because in order to get a private club permit, they'll need to serve "complete meals". If this weren't in the dry area, it might be feasible to do something similar to D&T. Seems clear to me that this a bar that happens to serve food. They've clearly given a lot of thought to the drinks, with some interesting and unusual items (frozen cocktails, swigs, bracers and custom-finished bourbon) and less thought to the food (queso, guacamole and tacos). That said, the original breakfast tacos at Revival, with the guajillo-braised beef, were outstanding, and I'd love to be able to eat that again.

bedmondson Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was hoping for an ice house type place at the recently demoed 927 Studewood property. They appear to have purposely left the core building in tact and it now looks Cottoonwood-esque. However this looks to be in a location that could use this type development more. I wonder how much longer the trailer homes next door will last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I wonder how much longer the trailer homes next door will last? I thought I saw an article somewhere about the trailer park where the owner said that they were going to keep the property and pass it on to their kids so they could build a house there.

Ross Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 There was also mention that the owner of the trailer park might sell to the people living in the trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Piatto closed. Never understood why Houston needed two Piattos. Asian Market will move the restaurant portion of their business to a stand alone business on Fulton St. They will keep the market on Cavalcade. Fulton St will serve beer and wine.

Could be a coincidence. Of the two principals listed for Kitchen Snapper, LLC, one has a name uncommon enough to get reasonable Google results, and appears to be owner/manager of three seafood restaurants in Mexico City. http://r.lampuga.com.mx/ Guessing this will be a similar concept.

s3mh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 and how does a demo get red tagged? Did they some how tear it down improperly? And how would you 'correct' a red tagged demo? Swamplot lists 927 Studewood as having a demo permit today. The city does come out and inspect prior to issuing a demo permit and will leave a green tag if the permit is granted. I do not know why this property would have trouble with a demo permit, but it looks like they are moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chicken was pretty good, one of the breasts was so big, it was likely more meat than a 5 piece from other chicken places. Sides were good too.

If I remember to, I'll take a look at the red tag next time I wander by the Valero next door... but I suspice that the red tag might be a result of starting demo without the proper permits.

s3mh Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It looks like the roof on 927 Studewood collapsed. Tried Equilibrium. Coffee is better. Triple berry tart is still there, but other pastries look to be from Angela's oven. Very much in the midst of a soft opening. Interior is brighter and very polished. There is new furniture for the deck, which is nice. But I did not notice any umbrellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have a few places to get pho nearby but I think this place would do well. http://houston.eater.com/2015/3/17/8231019/vietnamese-mini-chain-rumored-to-replace-shuttered-heights-bistro Samurai Noodle on Durham and I10 is a good ramen shop that is now open.
