Top Things to Do This Week
It may be Rodeo Season, but chocolate-covered bacon and smoked turkey legs the size of your head aren’t the only things to eat this month (though you should definitely eat those things). There’s also a lineup of fun food and drink events around town all month long.
March kicks off with a bottomless brunch fest, followed by the return of a fan-favorite, family-friendly crawfish festival, and a “celebr8tion” of beer. You’ll also want to dig into corned beef and cabbage on Saint Patrick’s Day, go heavy on mac and cheese, and enjoy good eats at a farm-focused festival featuring local chefs. Here are Houston’s tasty events to check out this month.
