Today is the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, which led directly to the migration that would give Houston the second-largest Vietnamese population in the US. Wrote about the community’s triumphs, struggles and how trauma lingers through generations houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

Next best thing to actually buying Le Beurre Bordier in France is that a shop in Houston is now selling it. C'est super! houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/r…

One of my goals before taking on the Houston Chronicle critic job was to expand the types of restaurants we review: the types of cuisines, price points, geography and the people cooking the food. Granny Dee's Kitchen was all that: houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/r…

So many great brunch recommendations from Bao Ong of the Houston Chronicle on today's episode of City Cast Houston! Listen here: houston.citycast.fm/podcasts/the-t…
