With more than fourteen thousand eating establishments covering seventy different ethnic cuisines, Houston is a foodie town. But even in a place where eating out is a way of life and restaurants come and go, there were some iconic spots that earned a special place in the hearts and stomachs of locals. Maxim's taught overnight millionaires how to handle meals that came with three forks. The Trader Vic's at the Shamrock offered dedicated homebodies a chance for the exotic, and Sonny Look's Sirloin Inn maintained the reputation of a city of steakhouses. From Alfred's Delicatessen to Youngblood's Fried Chicken, Paul and Christiane Galvani celebrate the stories and recipes of Houston's fondly remembered tastemakers.

Paul Galvani is an adjunct professor of the marketing department of the Bauer School of Business at the University of Houston. He began writing about food and restaurants in 1997 for the Houston Press and subsequently for The Paper City magazine, as well as Fort Bend Lifestyles magazine, the Houston Chronicle, Edible Houston, Houstonia magazine and Culture Map. Paul is the author of Houston’s Top 100 Food Trucks, published in 2014. Christiane Galvani, born in Kiel, Germany, is a professional translator, court-licensed interpreter for the State of Texas and an adjunct professor at the Houston Community College with more than thirty years of experience of teaching English to foreign students. When not teaching, translating or cooking, Christiane likes to go visiting hospital patients with her therapy dog, Sophie, a champion counter surfer and unauthorized taster in her own right.
