Houston Restaurant Advice

The Satellite
1

After I graduated from UH, life for various reasons as kept me away from Houston for several decades.

This summer I will be returning with the American Federation of Teachers convention. An approximately 2,500 person shindig. 750 of those are from NYC, we have the biggest delegation.

I am not asking for those 750 people, my peeps if you want to call them that are about 4-10 depending upon my mood.

They know where I went to school, I want to show them right. Remember these are teachers and teachers (by definition) are cheap.

Thinking BBQ, Tex-Mex or whatever else you think of.

We are staying around the convention center.

TIA

Teotihuacan (Airline) or Candente for Tex Mex. Candente has brisket enchiladas, so that would be a good crossover for BBQ.
