It's Tuesday, which means it's time to dive into the latest news from the Houston restaurant and bar scene with Eric Sandler and this week's cohost Monica Danna. Eric and Monica talk about ChópnBlọk opening its first brick and mortar location, the new wine bar from Gr8 Plate Hospitality, and since Monica missed the annual Year in Review podcast she gives her picks for some of her favorites from 2023. In the Restaurants of the Week portion, Belly of the Beast and Mi Tierra Mexican Kitchen are featured.
