We spent the first weekend of August back home in Houston to attend 2(!) weddings on Saturday. Seeing both our families, including both our parents, was just so nice and happy. California is lovely and we've got some great friends out here, but there's nothing like home for me. I ate my fill of queso, tex mex, and kabob (hubby's Persian).
Speaking of tex mex, I made the greatest discovery a couple weekends ago... Z'Tejas is in the OC! Ever since I moved three years ago*, I've been lamenting the fact that there's no queso or Tex Mex -- in fact, it's probably the food I miss the most from home. Well hubby and I were just walking through South Coast Plaza (the mecca of malls) and stumbled across Z'Tejas. This was one of my favorite places in Austin, I ate at their location on 6th street all the time and the same person who started it opened one of my other faves, Jack Allen's in Oak Hill. My favorite items are the dumplings, queso, and ancho fudge pie (it's better than it sounds, believe me). MMMmmmm delicious!
It got me curious, so I did a little google searching and apparently Z'Tejas was purchased by the same private equity investors who purchased and grew Flemings. They're expanding, which is only good news for those of us outside of Texas without access to queso.
*Wow, can't believe it's really been 3 years!
