Houston Restaurant Weeks is almost over. The yearly month-long food and charity event began August 1 and runs through September 2. The city-wide restaurant celebration allows local eateries to lure in customers during August's typically slow time while raising funds for Houston Food Bank in collaboration with The Cleverley Stone Foundation . Gourmands across the city eagerly await the list of participants and their multi-course menus each year.
I had made reservations for 1 p.m. and we were right on the nose except that the parking lot was full. After a few drives around to find street parking, we made our way to the entrance where a number of patrons were already departing. Perhaps a few minutes later, we would have had a prime parking space. However, the walk was good for our appetites, though not so much for our hair-dos.
As we were perusing the menu, I looked up to see another couple I know, a fellow food writer and her husband, being sat at the table next to our other friends. I popped up to say my hellos and we laughed about the fact that we had all had the same idea on this Friday afternoon. In fact, my fellow food writer, the Drunken Diva, had already made a visit to Maison Pucha for Houston Restaurant Weeks this month. She liked it so much she had returned to try the rest of its HRW menu.
Our main courses arrived, well, in due course. Though the Ecuadorian Pork Stew tempted me and I knew the Duck Pithivier would be a stunning dish, as witnessed by its arrival on my friends' table across the way, I opted for the Trout Almandine. While trout is a very mild fish, the addition of the delicate lemon butter sauce at Maison Pucha gave it the flavor it needed, though I could have used just a wee bit more sauce.
