Are you in search of conventional flavors with a Japanese flare, a shocking lounge with a dwell DJ, bowling lanes, unique hookah, a nightclub, and bottomless J. Harden Wine prosecco multi functional handy, elegant one-stop store? Properly look no additional than 13 Houston, James Harden’s new restaurant enterprise.
As the one wine critic bold enough to review/ingest the J. Harden cab sav, there’s nothing I would like greater than to sit down all the way down to a tasting menu of the Beard’s Far East-inspired delicacies.
I imply, simply look at this description from the website:
“Thirteen Houston cleverly blends traditional flavors with a Japanese flare, elevated dining, and a great time into one. From our state-of-the-art restaurant and patio, to our stunning lounge with a live DJ, exotic hookah, and innovative libations, Thirteen is sure to please. We also offer a one-of-a-kind Night Club better known as ‘The Basement’ with spacious sections and a private area with a two-lane bowling alley and private bar. We’ve taken the concept of elevated dining and made it our own; #TheThirteenExperience.”
Pointless semicolon apart, the factor I like to do when celebrity-endorsed eating places is guess which dishes the namesake calls for. On this case, it’s undoubtedly the 13 wings, which truly are available an order of six, smothered in jerk sauce, jerk seasoning and pineapple pico. (There are zero different Caribbean flavors on the menu however I digress.) The opposite is the Millionaire’s Sando: Braised beef, Hudson Valley seared foie gras, shokupam, truffle mayo, caviar, and shaved black truffles.
The wings stood out like a zebra in a corral filled with sizzling apps. Dumplings, dumplings, bao buns, wings? Oh, I do know this one. I’ve performed “Which one isn’t like the other” earlier than.
The Millionaire’s Sando was solely barely tougher. It’s a kind of dishes that upscale restaurant house owners toss on the menu for the sake of extra. Suppose the Michael Scott loaded pretzel of fine-dining experiences. I’m actually sort of shocked lobster wasn’t shoehorned in there.
As a lot as I’d prefer to opine on the environment, I can’t as a result of I don’t know the way shut the dwell DJ and unique hookah are to the eating space. Nothing says class like a pleasant salmon tiradito accompanied by flavored hookah smoke and home music. I assume G/O Media will simply should ship me all the way down to Houston for the total #ThirteenExperience.
The unique night-night celebration
Former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou determined to check his luck towards Anthony Joshua within the squared circle after giving Tyson Fury all he might deal with in his boxing debut. The outcome this time round was significantly much less spectacular for Francis.
Wee! If solely each wannabe boxer could get exposed like this against a trained professional.
