94.5 The Buzz

I had never even been to Texas four years ago before I moved to Houston.  I kind of thought what a lot of the country does...Oil pumps everywhere and big white cowboy hats.  I had no idea this city was so sophisticated.  The building that is going on EVERYWHERE is amazing.  It's nice to be in a place that’s growing and moving in the right direction.

Houston has to be BY FAR the friendliest city in America.  I haven't been everywhere, but the "attitude"  you find in other cities is not a problem here.  

I love to show off Minute Maid Park and Reliant Stadium to my out of town-ers. Chicks that visit (Mom and Sister) have to shop at any of our 3,000 malls. 
  
People are most likely to find me hangin' at my crib in the pool or on my chopper at some biker dive.
 
My perfect day in Houston...Up EARLY on a Saturday.  Work around the house till noon.  Have peeps over in the pool for 1, spark up the BBQ, drink a few ice cold Bud Lites, and eat.  The key is to get back in the water right after you eat to further prove to my mom that the 30 min. period we had to wait as children was nonsense.  "Cramps!!!?"
 
I love to eat out as much as I love to cook.  Steaks, Mexican, and seafood.  By seafood I'm NOT talkin about some raw piece of bait wrapped up in seaweed and rice.  You need to go to Pappadeaux, or Denis'.  For steaks... Perry's, Smith and Wollensky, Pappas and Taste of Texas.  Mexican is tough because I love it all, but I can be seen at Pappasito's, Guadalajara and Chuy's.  
 
Houston's best kept secret is really the world-class food in this town.  I can't believe all critics ever write about is New York, LA, New Orleans and Frisco.  I would put our places against them any day!
