2022: Healthiest Restaurants in Houston?

McDonalds doesn't have salads anymore? Shows how long it's been since I've set foot in one. I'm all about that homecooked healthy food now...

 

Not the same, I need the soup bar (along with the pizza, bread, and pasta bar)

 

Its a brand new building next Willowbrook mall.

 

WILLOWBROOK. Oh lawd. Slimmmm pickings.

If you are in this part of town your best bet is to go to HEB Vintage Park and buy a box of $5 shredded chicken or turkey, one of their seasoned salad mixes, a regular salad mix (and mix those 2 together). Lulz. Or Whole Foods. MAYBE Black Walnut.

Or pay $18 for some leaves at Salata.

 

Ziggy, did you ever go to Ziggy's "Healthy Grill"?

 

Chic fil a salads is all I trust and Cobb only. I like home food mostly.

 

I went to Kenny & Ziggy's once and it was BLAND. I think that experience subconsciously gave me a bias towards Ziggy-named-foods. Is it any good?

 

It's way closed now, I imagine. It was a fancy burger joint on Alabama?, had various fancy meats for the burgers and good sweet potato fries.

Used to meet my dad there for lunch every once in a while (we rotated restaurants), he'd come in from downtown, I'd roll over from Greenway Plaza.

I always thought it was funny they called it "Ziggy's Healthy Grill" just because you're eating emu or venison or lamb, or turkey or kangaroo, or etc... on your burger.

Haven't been to K&Z's in 20 years, but I love a good Jewish Deli.

 

Nice. I like my exotic game in casual-form like that. I like Moontower Inn hotdogs for example. Not a Rainbow Lodge guy.

 

Rainbow Lodge was awesome back when it was in the original location (first time I went there was for Homecoming in 1992, my dad said "take her there, it's on me"). Haven't been since they moved years and years ago. No idea what's on that property now.

You're not the first person to rec Moontower, I need to make that a destination next time I'm in town.

 

Astros game + Moontower is the new Astros game + NInfas.

 

Came in here to play my old man routine and say, "back in the day, those who wanted vegetables for lunch went to the Hobbit Hole, or as I called it, the Hobbit's Bunghole, because I didn't like the food."

But it turns out that place still exists?!

Yee. Mia's Table is nearby. Not healthy. Not cool. But great in it's own sense.

 

YES!

 

When did you work in the Greenway Plaza area?

 

He danced at the Pink Pussycat in 97.

 

97?-2007? I really don't remember the exact dates.

I will admit I went there ONCE for a bachelor party

One stripper had a vestigial tail. That's all I do remember.

 

Ah, ok, I think that was a couple of years after I was out there. I was wondering if we may have crossed paths at the grease pit known as Swifty's and had a heart attack. Hilariously/sadly enough, I think it may have burned down in a grease fire years later - I forget. I think I may still be digesting some of the food almost 30 years later.

 

Oh I do remember Swifty's, thanks! Everybody does, but you had to do it when you had to do it.
