Houston Best Chefs

[FoodMan]

Heard it on the news this morning, H-Texas magazine will publish their best chefs in Houston in this October issue. Most of The results were announced on TV and Chef Mark Cox of Mark's American Cuisine was named best chef 2003. Congrats to him and his fine establishment. The results will be posted online (I believe) once the issue is out which is October 5th.

"Defining the Houston Experience"... Must write a lot about traffic, humidity, air polution, and mosquitos...

Then you are missing out because this town is a hotbed for great food. And one of the worst genre's we do is cajun/creole. I can think of 1 decent place that i would go to and its Floyds, and I haven't been there in over a year.

Dan-

You should expand your horizons and visit NO LA for some good Cajun food. Not sure if you would like places like Mark's anyways.

"Not sure if you would like places like Mark's anyways."

Right-ee-oh.

By the way, when I was younger, I staged in France: three months at Alain Chapel and three months at Tour d'Argent, both three starred at the time. Twenty-five years in the kitchens had I, including two of those years as Sous at Antoine's in NO. Nothing better in Houston than eating fresh fish caught that day; and there is NO decent Cajun here in Austin. I only visit Houston when I have to...

And, thanks for your input Elie.

Houston has the best restaurants in the state, and more of them. My snide remark was addressed at the magazine. The "best" chefs (in any city) should include the best of the "Mom and Pop" cooks, local hash-slingers and the BBQ pitmasters that we all love - not just the celebrity chefs with their publicity shots and token recipes.

Ok, now you are making sense. Thanks for elaborating. I thought your were just dissing us because it is so damn humid here all the time .
