Best of 2019: Our 10 Favorite Restaurants of the Year

As 2019 quickly comes to a close, we can't help but reflect back on this past whirlwind of a year. We participated in an incredible video campaign with Simon Malls to showcase some of the amazing restaurants at the Houston Galleria, moved to Fort Worth for Matt's transitional program, hit 100K on Instagram, and most importantly, we GOT MARRIED! What. a. year.

We could not have done any of the above without all of your unconditional support, especially through our move and through a crazy season of wedding planning. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for making all that we do on this platform worth every moment.

Looking forward to the new year, you can expect a whole lot more from us! This past year, we experienced a lot of life changes, and while we love sharing Houston dining, events, and sites with y'all, we want to share so much more of our lives with you! The truth is, we love eating out and being active around the city, but we also love staying in, experimenting in the kitchen, learning how to help our planet heal, and traveling to new places. While we've found so much comfort in exploring the city we've called home for the past few years and inspiring you to do the same, we want to encourage and motivate you in ways that we are inspired as well.

All that being said, we will continue to explore Houston through food and drinks and share our finds with y'all, and we are so excited to share each of our top 5 restaurants from 2019. These restaurants may not have necessarily opened up this past year, but we discovered them this year and were SO glad we did. So here they are in no particular order:
