Notes from the Nassars: Houston Restaurant Weeks!

Houston Restaurant Weeks is an event that's become a yearly tradition! It used to actually be just 1 week but then it turned into the entire month of August. Each year, many restaurants in the Houston area participate and they each offer a 3-4 course menu for $35-45. Some even offer brunch/lunch menus for $20! We've gotten the chance to try 3 so far: Bistro des Arts, Sorrel, and Triniti. Of course I forgot to take pictures of any of the meals but trust me they were all great! You should totally check out the website and try a few places: http://www.houstonrestaurantweeks.com/. I doubt there's a single bad restaurant on the list! We had an especially great time at Sorrel celebrating Rachel's birthday! I just told her I would pick her up for her birthday brunch and surprised her by inviting all her friends to join us. My favorite line of the day was when Rachel said, "I love being lied to!" Haha I think that means it was a success. The restaurant was really great too. The waiter wished her happy birthday and even had the entire kitchen wave to her to acknowledge her birthday. We had a great time and ended the celebration by taking a trip to the sculture garden that's across the street from the MFA. (We were going to go to the Houston Craft Museum but turns out they're closed on Sundays during the summer. We'll have to make another trip sometime!)
