😋 Currently Snacking On: Plantain chips

For the second year in a row, the city of Houston had the honor of hosting the Michelin Guide ceremony. The chef-studded event, held at Wortham Theater Center, placed the city firmly in the spotlight alongside Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio. While the city didn’t earn any new stars, it did take home five new Bib Gourmands for restaurants, including Maximo and West African dining destination Chopnblok, and an award for service.
