For over 180 years, Houston has been the meeting place of so many global cuisines leading ultimately to the creation of some incredible, iconic dishes.
But what are Houston’s most iconic dishes? With so many excellent cuisines and restaurants to choose from, it’s hard to narrow down a list of the city’s definitive dishes. That said, some dishes, like rib panang curry from Khoi Barbecue, Bludorn’s lobster pot pie, Ninfa’s fajitas, and Christie’s Seafood & Steaks shrimp were rotated out to make way for the never-ending list of must-haves like Candente’s brisket nachos, Tony’s salt-crusted snapper, Gatlin’s Fins & Feathers hot chicken sandwich, Loro’s cold sesame noodles, Rado Market’s oxtail smash burger, Lucille’s chili biscuits, and Cochinita & Co.’s cochinita pibil.
