Description

A chain with 15 different names!

  • Houston's Restaurant aka Hillstone aka 13 other things is one of the more upscale chains, and Adam Macias from the That Was Wild podcast joins me to learn interesting facts about this restaurant
  • Houston's will let you BYOB without charging a corkage fee, and they are very proud of this
  • The Secret Menu: Bougier Restaurants
  • Houston's is currently embroiled in a lawsuit over price-gouging during the pandemic
  • My new favorite review of all-time: an unfashionable Yelper dressed terribly, and then complained that staff let him know he was breaking the dress code in this week's Yelp from Strangers
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
