My hometown! I'm transplanted in northern Michigan, now retired, but I still miss the Houston food scene. Especially Ninfa's! And the Vietnamese food! And the Chinese buffets! Even Taco Cabana. None of this delicious food exists in northern Michigan, so when I crave it, I make it myself. Wonderful video, Mark! Your cohost did a great job, too. 💜

Ninfa’s Original is absolutely still the best fajitas in Houston. Chef Patti Delgado is keeping the traditions alive while introducing new creations, love Ninfa’s!

Just respect to those hard-working family-owned businesses who provide quality food.
