Houston, it seems, has as many nicknames as it does oil wells, but the one that touches my Texas DNA is THE BIG HEART! Not a bad welcoming moniker for visitors invading the town for Super Bowl Weekend. Houston - The Biggest Heart, Deep in the Heart of Texas - got this particular name from storm victims fleeing the ravages of Hurricane Katrina. No other city opened its doors as Houston did. Houston housed, fed and attended to more than 150,000 survivors, many of whom have chosen to now call Houston their home.
Big Heart - Big Eaters! … and great restaurants! For Mexican and Tex/Mex: Caracol, Hugo’s, Molina’s, Molina’s Cantina. For Texas BBQ: Goode Company BBQ, Luling City Real Texas Bar-B-Que.
