    I would like to begin with my love for food and cooking aswell as trying new dish's from a variety of cultures is constantly expanding. I am a FoodNetwork addict and as I get older I realize how much I long to try so many different flavors and cultures.

    Ok enough dancing around the idea I am persueing. I know there are a few 'foody clubs' in Houston who meet once a month and try something new beit something on a know menu or a new cultural taste. I just thought I would check with my local Fchat members who actually persue such culinary delights and good company and ask if it is possible I could attend one of the outings in the future?

    Thanks in advance,
    Gregg

    Go down Hillcroft and you'll find plenty of options for Indian food, that's where we went to shop when we lived down there. Still make a day trip down there from Austin if we need something not found at the shops in Austin.

    I appreciate that but I'm looking to hopefully expand my circle of friends along with new foods. Maybe one of those 'foody clubs' would be my best chance but hey atleast I tried.

    Good luck. The food here sucks. I have to fly back to NYC every month or two for quality food.

    Have you tried looking on Yelp or other review sites, sometimes those are very helpful.

    Hell, go to Groupon and find a coupon for someplace you've never been.

    I'm a little late to this thread but I go out every now and then with friends to check out new places. You're more than welcome to join in.

    One of my favorites is Oporto on Richmond near Greenway. Fantastic Tapas place. Small but excellent.

    It's a "must try" if you haven't been yet.

    Try Meetup for your foodie interests, whether cooking or dining. It'll broaden your circle, as well as your horizons.

    Dallas has an underground dining scene. Houston might do the same. Try googling Underground dining Houston. Chef Dat does it in Dallas.

    Meetup is a good resource.

    I always used to schlep out to Mo's on FM1960 whenever I was there visiting my bro.
