Greetings Sizzlings! Happy Monday... I know right? Those 2 words just don't mesh.
I spent a lovely weekend in the country with MainSqueeze and ate some delightful treats.
Speaking of delightful treats, you need to know about a new treat in Houston. Pax Americana.
We had a reservation for Thursday night, and my entire week was spent in anticipation. We were a party of 7, so they offered to serve us family style; which is one of my favorite ways to eat.
Here's the rundown of the #nomz. Photos will be below as well. Highly recommend, the staff was super knowledgeable and accommodating, and I love the general vibe of the place. I'll definitely be back.
(Dishes in BOLD are TheSizzles faves from the meal):
Beverage of choice: Evening Land Blue Label Pinot Noir by the glass and the Smoked Old Fashioned. REALLY tasty cocktail with a delightful drunken cherry as a garnish.
FAMILY STYLE DISHES:
Farm Fresh Eggs, scallion kimchi aioli, chilies, herb salad, purple barley
Grilled Honeydew Melon, hazelnut vinaigrette, thyme honey, feta
(not featured on the online menu) Baby carrots cooked in general amazing fashion with some hints of curry and candied nuts. PHENOMENAL. I could eat these with every meal. Call me Bugs Bunny.
(Also not on the online menu) Pan seared tile fish with a magical beurre blanc sauce and root veggies. Honestly, some of the best fish I've had in Houston to date.
(not online either) Enormously humongous ribeye, cooked medium rare. I love steak, and I love slicing my steak instead of hacking into it like a rabid wolf. The spices on the steak were on point, but I think it could use a little work on the sear. STILL a great cut of meat.
Brisket, nine spice, potatoes, soured cream, black garlic, sweet onions
Sanguinaccio Fritters, horchata ice cream, lemon curd, candied pecans
Chocolate Custard, bittersweet chocolate hazelnut cookie, lemon mint sherbert
***Please excuse the quality of the photos, it was super dark and I was too hungry to get technical!***
