Trip spanned six full days (not counting arriving late a previous night and leaving early a next morning) and literally every single meal I ate, lunch and dinner, was a "destination" (IE a place where I or someone else would say "oh if you're going to Houston you have to go to—").
Seems to indicate some honestly good things about the quality of the food in Houston, really. That I could find 12 places.
Note: One of the 12 places was inside "Meow Wolf" but for reasons I think it still counts.
