📰 Cult-Favorite Dessert Duo Preparing Second Location in Meyerland 🆕 Houston favorites @UndergroundCreamery — known for its limited weekly flavor “drops” — and @PudgysFineCookies are expanding their partnership with a second location at Meyerland Court at 4798 Beechnut. Opening in August, it builds on the years-long collaboration between the two businesses. The new space will be larger than the original at 1010 North Shepherd, and will include indoor seating. Van Teamer, owner of Pudgy’s Fine Cookies, and Josh DeLeon, owner of Underground Creamery, say the expansion reflects a philosophy that independent businesses can achieve more by working together. 🍪 “It’s the best of both worlds,” said Teamer. “We each have our own businesses and creative freedom, but we also get to share ideas, support one another and celebrate each other’s wins. Even though we’re doing our own thing, we’re working toward the same goal of creating a great experience for our community and helping each other succeed.” 🍦 Guests can expect Pudgy’s signature cookies and cookie sundaes alongside the debut of Underground Softies, soft-serve ice cream from Underground Creamery. The business’s limited-edition flavors have developed a devoted following. (Some recent selections include Malted Peanut Butter Specula and Death Road — Valrhona chocolate ice cream with candied pecans and vanilla bean marshmallow fluff.) The weekly releases, announced via text message to subscribers and sold at the Underground Creamery website, frequently sell out. However, DeLeon says that soft-serve will have a “less dynamic” menu. Guests will still have options for creative toppings — and naturally, plenty of cookie and ice cream combos. 🤝 “It’s been such a great arrangement,” said DeLeon. “I think more people should do it if they feel like it’ll work. Of course there are boundaries and everyone has to be on the same page, but sharing knowledge has helped both of us grow faster than I ever imagined.” 🎉 Grand opening celebrations and exclusive collaborations will be announced soon. ✍️ @PhaedraCook 📸 @EmilyWalling #HoustonNews #FoodNews #HoustonFood #HoustonRestaurants #HoustonBusiness

🎉 Congratulations to Angie’s Pizza on being named one of the new Michelin Guide Recommended restaurants in the 2026 guide! ⭐ The designation recognizes restaurants selected by Michelin’s anonymous inspectors, joining nine new Houston recommendations without carrying a Star or Bib Gourmand distinction. 🍕 For Houston native Angelo Emiliani, the honor adds another chapter to a pizza project that has been six years in the making. Angie’s began as a pandemic-era Los Angeles pop-up before Emiliani brought it home, drawing on experience working alongside acclaimed pizzaiolo Chris Bianco and years of Houston pop-ups before opening its permanent Heights home in July with pastry chef and co-owner Luciana “Louie” Emiliani. Wood-fired pizzas remain the centerpiece, joined by handmade pastas, seasonal dishes and desserts. 🔥 Just over two months after opening, Angie’s remains one of the hottest tickets in town, drawing crowds and booking well in advance. We’ve had luck dropping in at or just before opening, while @BarAngieHTX upstairs typically has seats available during non-peak hours. 🍸 The bar is well worth checking out and adds another dimension to the restaurant with a cocktail program from Drew Bennett, formerly of Anvil. The menu leans into Italian-inspired cocktails, aperitivo and wine, giving Angie’s a second destination above the pizza counter. 📍 @AngiesPizzaPies, 1002 West 11th ✍️🏽 @MadmanMario

🥟 Is Din Tai Fung coming to Houston? A new Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing points to a potential location at The Galleria. 🆕️ As first reported by Shafaq Patel for Axios*, who shared the filing this afternoon just after it was posted, the $1 million renovation project, titled “Din Tai Fung Space C3516 Re-demise,” outlines plans to combine six existing spaces into a new 16,790-square-foot space at 5115 Westheimer. 🗓 The project lists a February 1, 2027, start date and June 15, 2027, completion date. 🍣 The plans include the space currently occupied by Nobu, along with five additional spaces. The filing lists the project status as registered, though the tenant has not yet been assigned in the public record. 🥢 Din Tai Fung began in Taiwan in 1958 as a cooking-oil business before evolving into a restaurant specializing in steamed dumplings 14 years later. It became internationally renowned for its xiao long bao, or soup dumplings, which feature delicate wrappers filled with seasoned meat and hot broth. 🌏 Today, the brand operates restaurants around the world. Its menu also features noodles, wontons, fried rice and vegetable dishes. 🍜 📑 While the TDLR filing is a significant development, it does not by itself confirm an opening date or establish that a lease has been finalized. 🚘 The news also comes hot on the heels of the announcement that the @HoustonGalleria is eliminating free parking next month. 😬 ⛓️‍💥 *Visit the link in our bio to view the full @AxiosHouston article. ✍️🏽 @MadmanMario 📸 @PhaedraCook

🥪 Yuma is now open, bringing chef Mike Hartley and Miriam Leek-Meira's long-awaited Brazilian-inspired Cuban sandwich concept to a brick-and-mortar on Washington Avenue. 🍴 @HoustonFoodFinder was invited to preview its offerings, and despite being brand new, Yuma already feels like an old friend with welcoming hospitality, memorable food and drinks, and an industry-friendly atmosphere. 👌🏽 🥖 Yuma specializes in Cubanos made with house-baked bread and scratch ingredients. There's a classic version as well as signature flavors such as the Sampa Gallo with chicken tinga, a vegetarian version with tostones, black bean purée and mustard greens, and El Penny, a mashup of a bánh mì and a Cubano that captures the best of both worlds. 🌿 🥩 The standout was A Caipira, a Brazilian-inspired steak sandwich with picanha, Gruyère, catupiry cheese, sautéed onions and chimichurri. Rich without being heavy, it's the sort of sandwich that keeps pulling you back for another bite. 🌶 Speaking of chimichurri, Yuma's version packs plenty of spice and vibrant herb flavor, and it's served alongside the addictive Pastel de Bife. These crisp, fried Brazilian pastries resemble oversized ravioli or gourmet pizza rolls stuffed with seasoned beef, making them an ideal bar snack. 🧀 Other bar bites we enjoyed include the pão de queijo which are crisp on the outside, airy and chewy inside, with plenty of cheesy flavor. The coxinha are equally worth ordering. Shaped like little drumsticks, these tasty little Brazilian croquettes are filled with shredded chicken and cheese before being breaded and fried until golden. The menu also includes crispy tostones, yuca frita and ham-and-cheese croquetas, all of which make excellent drinking snacks. 🍹 The cocktail menu focuses on refreshing rum and cachaça creations inspired by Brazil and Cuba, while a concise but thoughtfully curated wine list and a creative zero proof selection offers something for nearly every sandwich on the menu. 🍷 Initial hours are 4 p.m. to midnight Wednesday through Monday, with lunch and a late-night to-go window planned for the future. 📍 @YumaHTX, 4219 Washington ✍🏽 @MadmanMario

✨Happy 14th Birthday ✨ There’s something about a crêperie that feels timeless… 💙 simple ingredients, delicate technique, and a space designed for slowing down. Last night, I stepped into that feeling at @sweetparis birthday soirée, where French café culture meets a little bit of Houston charm. From sweet and savory crêpes to whimsical birthday bites, espresso, and bubbly… every detail felt light, thoughtful, and just a little indulgent. Crêpes themselves date back centuries in France traditionally enjoyed in small cafés as an everyday luxury. And that’s what makes concepts like this so special… they take something rooted in culture and make it approachable, something you can experience any day of the week. It’s easy to see why Sweet Paris has remained a favorite consistent for 14 years here, inviting, and built around moments like these. Celebrating all weekend, they’re continuing the celebration with a special birthday menu and a limited experience for guests to join in. Swag bags for first 100 guests on Saturday, a special birthday menu, and a few sweet surprises. ✨✨the waffle was my favorite.✨✨✨ A little Paris, right here in Houston. ✨

🥃 Donna’s is now open in the Heights. The new bar, located in the former Ready Room space on White Oak, comes from a partnership between Bobby Heugel and Jacki Schromm. Hospitality is placed at the center of the experience, with a room designed to invite quiet conversation, reel-to-reel music recordings, casual meetings and neighborly connections. 🍹 Signature cocktail options include citrus vodka brightened with raspberry and lime in the Disco Raspberry Limeade, rye whiskey with strawberry, toasted coconut and pineapple in the Rye-Ami Vice, or blanco tequila lifted by a garden cordial in the Sound Garden. 🍸 Classics are interpreted through the bar’s lens, whether in Jacki’s Martini, built with equal parts Plymouth gin and Dolin vermouth accented by Cocchi Americano and a lil Parmesan-and-olive garnish, or in the Sloe Gin Fizz, where grapefruit and lemon meet a soft crown of egg white and soda. 🍋 🧊 More meditative compositions are offered as well, such as Good Will, where bourbon is infused with miso and banana then finished with chocolate bitters, or Tuesday Breakdown, which layers Irish whiskey with bitter vermouth and Fernet mente. Each drink is crafted to feel intentional, lasting and comfortably familiar, reflecting the bar’s dedication to creating a space where community is quietly fostered one glass at a time. 🕔 Open daily from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. 📍 @DonnasHouston 2626 White Oak 📸 @The.Cheat.Meal

Fresh off chef @chefevelyngarcia’s appearance on @FoodNetwork’s “Beat Bobby Flay,” another James Beard Award-winning Houston chef is taking him on. Chef Thomas Bille (@ChefThomas812) of Belly Of The Beast (@BOTBFood) appears on the “Mole Mania” episode on Tuesday, August 4 at 7 p.m. Central. Bille’s creative moles are among his culinary strengths, so he should be a formidable competitor. Also appearing on the episode is actor Jeff Hiller and chef Amanda Freitag, who recruit Bille and chef Keegan Andrews of ATX Cocina to “cook up a spicy dose of defeat for @BobbyFlay.” The judges are Alex Stupak, Lourdes Castro and Grace Ramirez. A social media message posted by Belly Of The Beast says, “This opportunity represents so much more than a television appearance. It’s a chance to share the heart of Belly of the Beast, our community, and everyone who has supported us from the very beginning. We can’t wait to watch with all of you.” ✍️ PhaedraCook 📸 Courtesy of Food Network #HoustonNews #HoustonRestaurants #SpringTX #HoustonChefs #HoustonFoodNews
