Harwood Grill's Latest Burger Deal; State of Grace Finds a Captain

RIVER OAKS — Fresh off taking home the Judge’s Award in Houstonia's 2nd Annual Best Burger Bash, Harwood Grill has a killer dine-in lunch deal going on through July 3: buy any of the ranch-to-table’s burgers, including Chef Craig Bianco’s  winning Harwood Grill Akaushi Burger, and get one free. And if you’re telling yourself the construction along Westheimer is too much of a hassle, you’re wrong: you can loop in via San Saba off Kirby or use the handy turn lane in the middle of the road work zone. Do whatever you have to, though, because the meat here is the real thing. [EHOU]
