PBS Show "The Houston Cookbook"

While pursuing the PBS online archives, I ran across this 28-minute special that was produced by Houston Public Media in 2018, The Houston Cookbook: https://video.wttw.com/video/the-hou...okbook-agjyht/

"From Chicken Tikka Masala to Phở, Houston is a true melting pot of international flavors. Join chef David Cordúa as he gathers one-of-a-kind recipes and explores culinary delights in the most diverse city in America. In this half hour special, get a taste of the bold flavors and unique cultures enriching the state of Texas."

The first segment, featuring the Indian cuisine was cool for me as my high school bus route went right through that neighborhood (Hillcroft!) and I instantly recognized several of the locations.

My favorite quote of the special is in the intro, "What we [Houston] eat now is what the rest of the country will be eating in thirty years."

Isn’t it cool to find gems like these of your local area!

Gotta agree with Micheal on the diversity here. You can find ANY kind of cuisine here! You name it, there’s probably a restaurant here serving it.

The University of Houston is a microcosm of the diversity of the city at large. (We are the sixth most-diverse university in the nation.) One of my favorite events occurs every spring, called Wolffest. It's part of the capstone course of the BBA in Entrepreneurship. (UH has the number one entrepreneurship program in the country.)

Students in the program set up pop-up food tents to see who can sell the most. The food is always excellent, typically international, with fusion being very popular from year to year. You do have to wade through some creative and sometimes raucous sales presentations to get to it, but the food is worth it.
