I will throw my vote behind Hebert's on Richmond in Houston, their food is an excellent version of what you will find at legendary Cajun I-10 meat markets like Best Stop, and Don's, and others. Their hours are limited though. And Luling City BBQ down the street has decent brisket and good atmosphere for lunch BBQ and beers.

Of course it all depends on what you mean by close. Here's a place that's about 30 minutes from IAH by car. Their turduckens are pretty good and you can order them online if you wish.

I thought turkeys done in this way were primarily for Thanksgiving; have they become a 'big event' meal option across the USA? Keeping the theme tropical, I wonder if there is a seafood equivalent? This thread is making me hungry. :rolleyes: (I have only just finished a turkey-free lunch!) The basic sandwich, per Wikipedia, originated in New Orleans in 1906, w/ cold cuts, olives, etc in a round loaf. Several places in New Orleans area sell a seafood version. Most are not good - skimpy on fish, breaded too much, overcooked. At Little G's in Belle Chase, their version has generous amounts of fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, fried fish, fried oysters, w/ a mashed down crab cake in lieu of olives. All perfectly fried (light breading, it's not greasy & perfectly cooked). It's sublime. It's not A inside of B inside of C (the original French versions had 10 layers of birds) but is a wonderful mix of flavors/textures. I'll go there Friday, tho it may be closed for the holidays... |

http://www.alpinesteak.com/ Airfares to TPA on UA are more resonable than IAH (plus more EQM for me) so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a mileage run with a take out order. :) |
I have no idea what this is about, but starting with turd is a pretty bad idea in culinary circles.

The huge downfall of Turducken IMO is that the skin of the birds inside the turkey, never crisps as it is not exposed to the oven air. The fat doesn't render fully as if the bird was being roasted on it's own. This leads to gobs of fat, fat is where the flavor is but too too much on the Turkducken's I've tried and cooked. (I love the idea of Turkducken but it doesn't translate well to cooking IMO).

-- Fried doesn't exactly have to mean what some people thing, not talking about battered and fried. I find a fried turkey to be LESS greasy than a roasted turkey. |
