Mike Riccetti, The Examiner's Houston Cheap Eats blogger, who rarely posts about cheap eats, has put together his own, self-proclaimed "eclectic" recap of 2011. The categories are all over the map: Best Meal in Houston (Valentino's truffle dinner), Biggest Restaurant Disappointment (El Real), Best Cheap Thrill (Frites at Jeannine's Bistro), Most Welcome Local Beer Development (Karbach) and 2nd Most Welcome Local Beer Development (Belgian beer draft selection at Broken Spoke)...and a few more if you want to see his diverse picks of 2011.
