One of my fave places is Istanbul Cafe just by the Gingerman's. Love their Chicken Adana and their Lamb Kabab. the people are the nicest and food is good an cheap.

Thai Spice in/near village has a good thai buffet at lunch. On Old Spanish Trail between 288 and Almeada is Guy's meat market. Go fairly early and get a smoked burger all the way with bbq sauce on it. When they run out that's it so remember to go early. Maybe a ten minute drive is Frenchy's fried chicken. Its creole suthern fried chicken at its finest. Its on Scott St near UH. Mon Aug 16 22:03:27 -0700 2004 503430 0 John Scar
