Tandoori Nite is serving up authentic Indian dishes in far West Houston from the parking lot of a Phillip 66 gas station.

I chose the goat kebab, chana masala, a side of plain rice and a naan. The goat was moist and spiced perfectly for just a bit of heat.  It was a nice accompaniment for the chana masala which was full flavored and had lots of heat.

Bubba's Texas Burger Shack is hidden in the shadows of the Westpark Tollway and the Southwest Freeway near the Galleria in Houston, Texas. For many years this little dive has been serving up great burgers and are known for the buffalo burgers.

While their buffalo burgers are not "gourmet" burgers, they are darn good in their own right. Each burger is served on your choice of white or wheat bun and come topped with the usual condiments (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mustard and mayo).

I had the opportunity to try out The Waffle Bus recently, and so glad I did. The chicken and waffles with ancho chili honey was fantastic.

LoCal's Healthy Joint serves up a great selection of healthy food that is fresh made and always to order.

One of my favorite menu items is their Buffalo Burger. It is a 1/3 lb hand formed patty topped with all of the usual suspects on a whole grain bun. This big burger comes in at just above 300 calories and 8 grams of fat!

Say what? Foie Gras Fries? That is exactly what I was thinking when I heard that Bernie's Burger Bus was serving up foie gras fries.

I decided to make the drive into town since today was the last day to use the GroupOn coupon at Bernie's. As usual the lines were long but totally worth the wait for a great burger, foie gras fries, and a ice cream sandwich.

I've been to Bernie's a handful of times and this is the best bite I have had from the them.  The foie gras fries were better than any burger I've had even though the burgers are top notch.  This is also on of the Top 5 things I have eaten this year. Get them as soon as you can!

Some of my other visits to Bernie's Burger Bus are documented here and here and here.

Sammy's Wild Game Grill serves exotic game meats like Antelope, Venison, Elk, Ostrich and Buffalo.

I ordered the Game Trio Sliders combo that included a Buffalo slider, a Venison slider, and a Antelope slider served with sweet potato fries and a house made habanero ketchup.

Some highlights were the pretzel buns and the habanero ketchup. The sliders were cooked perfectly and each meat had it's own distinct taste, even though the difference was very subtle.

I made a trip to the office this week and that means driving by The Burger Guys. It also means that on the way home at lunch time I had to stop in for one of the best burger experiences in Houston.

This time I chose the Lancaster. It is covered with sautéed mushrooms, onions and bacon, topped with swiss cheese and a slather of house made dijonnaise. And of course I added a fried egg. I never, ever pass up on the opportunity to add a fried egg to a burger.

I finally got a chance to check out Maple & Motor in Dallas. It is known as one of the best burgers in Dallas and it definitely lived up to the hype. I chose a bacon cheeseburger cooked pink with grilled jalapeños and a fried egg.

What's not to like about packets of dough stuffed with sweet and savory fillings and then deep fried to a golden brown.  

Some of my favorites are:

Hot “Tia Maria”: Chopped brisket, onions, jalapeno peppers, tomato sauce, and spices.

 Chicken “Diablo”: Diced chicken, onion, bell peppers, tomato sauce, and spices.

Blackberry: Homemade blackberry preserve with a touch of sugar.

Banana with dulce de leche and chocolate:  Banana filling with dulce de leche and chocolate.

* The Banana with dulce de leche and chocolate came in at #58 on Robb Walsh's 100 Favorite Dishes in 2010.

Turkey burger with bacon, cheddar and jalapeños with fresh cut fries.

Don't forget to try some of their homemade pies. I opted for the Coconut Cream Pie. It was one of the best slices of pie I've had in a very long time.
